@Greater Good. Honestly, we don't know how the X-Men movies are going to turn out after Days of Future Past. We can only guess, and if it isn't high enough they'll start to get envious of the fact Marvel is making literally billions with there heroes. It still doesn't answer the question, how can you turn your back on MORE MONEY that Fox could be making with Marvel? Just X-Men aren't enough to create a truly vast-Cinematic Universe. Unless Fox just hates making lots of money, they have no reason not to go into the MCU, or at least trying to make a deal with them? It's a rare opportunity to get the chance to actually profit off of the Multi-Billion dollar MCU, and not be Disney. Most Studios would do crazy things for a chance like that.

Warner Bros. is a different situation. There's no one they can turn to if the DC movies fail, no other bigger more successful Studio they can make a deal with, and no pressure for the rights reverting. All they really could do is make a sequel (one involving other successful franchises to raise morale for it) and try to do it better, or reboot it. Fox has many more options (and limitations) with the X-Men/Fantastic Four than Warner Bros. has with DC Comics movies.

If you don't mind me asking, why are you so fixated on keeping the X-Men out of the MCU? I would assume as a fan of Marvel and this universe you would enjoy the idea of all the franchises coming together under one roof, make a truly spectacular and vast Marvel Universe on the big screen. I assume you probably really like the Fox X-Men films, and I can assure you their quality won't diminish any more or less being in the MCU, it will still be Fox distributing and producing those films, if anything now they would have more freedom to tell bigger stories involving other Marvel Characters and properties.

They would also get the opportunity to have a media and larger Comic Book presence. Since as long as they are kept out of the MCU, Disney is not going to advertise or promote the Mutants (or FF) in anyway, which is a real shame because they're great characters and deserve to be given an opportunity to shine in the media, like the Avengers have.

Why do you want them to be isolated in their own universe, and limited to stories that only involve their own characters? I just don't get it, it's not just you a lot of people seem to prefer the X-Men staying out the MCU, why? I get that they might want the X-Menverse to get a proper finish with Wolverine 3, and I get that. But after, what reason should they continue to be their own thing?

About the Taskmaster thing, that might've been before Disney & Fox attempted to re-build burned bridges. Which is why Marvel can't use Mutants, and Fox can't use Taskmaster. An eye for an eye
