X-men: This case is more complicated compared to the Fantastic Four ones. First, the franchise is very worn and has lost its charm over the years. There are still missing Dark Phoenix and New Mutants, but I am afraid that their impact (Be positive or negative) delays the appearance of the X-men in the MCU. Secondly, it is NECESSARY to give a break to Wolverine, Magneto, Mystique and other recurring characters that have appeared many times in the X-men movies. The only ones that would not be within this rule are Deadpool and Xavier. The first because it is recent (since 2016) and became very popular during these years. The second because it is an essential element of the X-men (Although I would appreciate if you have a fair time on screen to make the X-men team shine).

The third one I think is complicated and tedious to solve. Do the X-men already exist in the MCU or will they appear after Endgame?

If it is the first case, a decent argument occurred to me to justify his absence. Xavier and the mutant school already existed long ago. After the events of The Avengers, an increase in the number of mutants is seen (Since before, of every 10 people, only 2 were mutants). For 2014, the mutant school begins to accept a large number of students (due to the increase in the number of people born with skills). The school is a private school (that is, only a section of the government of the United States knows of its existence). Things in school were going well until 2016. Sokovia Accords made Xavier sign to keep the mutants. Knowing that now they would have more surveillance on the part of the government, Xavier decides to close his school temporarily and hides it from the public eye. During all that time, Xavier stayed watching the events in the world. He watched his students and saw news related to the Avengers. During the attack of the Black Order, the mutants only hid because they knew that the Avengers could take charge of the situation. In addition, the Sokovia Accords prevented them from acting. It would be after what happened in Endgame when Xavier decides to reopen his school to accept any person with powers that they can not control (either mutants or not).

If it is the second case, then it remains to see how Endgame will be resolved. With what will happen in that movie, you can know what will happen in the MCU onwards (Maybe the power of the gems will make the Gen-X of some people activate and begin to discover their abilities).
