On a side note I wonder if it would be possible to get Ryan Reynolds to direct Deadpool 2 and Tim Miller to direct a MCU X-MEN movie, because Deadpool is the best X-MEN movie ever made, much better than anything Bryan Singer ever made, hell I think Matthew Vaugh is better than Singer at doing the X-MEN

Also guys it's been confirmed by Tim Miller himself he went directly to Feige about Negasonic Teenage Warhead's portrayal and he asked for approval that fact that he did that over such an irrelevant character, that practically no one knew who the hell she was, proves that if anyone is going to get the X-MEN in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it's this guy, who knows what him and Feige talked about maybe possibly allowing Deadpool as he is right now to join the MCU which I can say makes sense, no point in recasting.

Also what is with the erroneous belief that if Marvel Studios owned Deadpool we wouldn't have a R-rated Deadpool you guys know it wasn't Fox that is the reason Deadpool is real, it was Ryan Reynolds, TJ Miller, and Tim Miller's dream and the leaked test footage just gave Fox the incentive, if the test footage didn't leak their would be no Deadpool, if Marvel owned Deadpool we would probably get an entire Netflix Series about the character, and a Team Red Movie(Spider-Man, Deadpool and Daredevil), but if it had to be a movie then yeah of course it would happen because it is cheap to make only 60 million, Disney doesn't deal with Marvel on a creative level, they are just a distributer, and funders.

The only way Deadpool would be PG-13 is if the budget was close to Guardians of The Galaxy With all due respect, can you please just give it up already? The X-Men are never joining the MCU. It's just not going to happen. Fox are never going to play ball with Marvel while they are totally capable of handling the franchise without them. Plus, does it really make sense for them to reset the timeline and do a semi-reboot of the franchise with DOFP and then fork it over to Marvel just a couple of movies later? No, it doesn't. The whole point of doing that was to allow them more creative freedom with the franchise in the future, and not have to follow what has already been established.

On the point of Tim Miller, he's not the only person at Fox who interacts with Kevin Feige. Feige is still friends with Bryan Singer and Lauren Schuler Donner to this day, but that hasn't brought the X-Men any closer to joining the MCU. Plus, the fact that they used Marvel Studios-owned elements in Deadpool and went out of their way to avoid violating copyright shows that they are not having discussions with them about sharing properties.

I also happen to disagree with you about Singer's contribution to the X-Men. I think all of the X-Men movies he has been involved in have been great. Hell, I actually liked DOFP better than all of the MCU movies, with the possible exception of CA: TWS.

We're getting tonnes of great stuff from the MCU, can't we just enjoy all of that instead of crying about the one that we aren't?
