So, Fox is making a TV series for X-Men. Yep, a TV series based on their X-Men movies and set in the same. But they need permission from Marvel, because they only have the film rights but not TV rights. Will Marvel give them permission? I doubt it considering their rivalry. But what if they made a deal where instead of the TV series taking place in Earth-10005, it's on Earth-199999. Yep, in our Marvel Cinematic Universe. Let's face it, the X-Men movie franchise is just as long as a TV series. They've made a lot of movies featuring Wolverine. And if they can only focus on the mutants of the Marvel Universe, what stories are there to tell that they can't do in their movies? Well, I would like to see mutants in the MCU. Imagine if in that deal, Marvel would only give permission if it connects to the MCU. Like maybe Marvel could have them recast the X-Men for the show to disconnect from their movies. And make guest MCU characters in every episode like Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury or Chris Evans as Captain America. And the X-Men can crossover to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Fox can allow Mutant cameos in Marvel's movies. Elizabeth Olsen and Aaron Taylor-Johnson could be in the main cast as Scarlet Witch and the resurrected Quicksilver, and it can be retconned so that they are mutants and children of Magneto by explaining that Hydra's experiments didn't give them their powers. They only awakened them. And they were actually adopted and Max Eisenhardt AKA Magneto. And where were the mutants in the past films? Charles Xavier has been keeping their existence secret and Nick Fury was in on it too, and made sure that no other S.H.I.E.L.D. agent knew about them and kept mutants off the Index, which explains why there are no telepaths in the Index even though there are some mutants like Xavier who are. So yeah, that's another secret Fury kept from Coulson.

So, would you want an X-Men TV series to be in the MCU? Who do you want to play Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops, Jean, Magneto, Xavier, etc. in the MCU?
