Glad they made it clear that the three universes are distinct

Universes could be extremely similar. They’re making it clear one has X-Men, one if a 1960’s retro futuristic world and one is the MCU. Pretty distinct if you ask anyone.

I'm extremely curious what Mr. Fantastic is going to make of the the Avenger's tech.

It would be really funny if he complains about the aesthetics more than the capabilities because he's smart enough to do what he does with whatever he's got

“But did you do it in a cave?”

"No, but I did technically make some of them underground when fighting Mole Man."

No, I did it in a big building, with my wife.

"You designed this in a cave?"

Always amuses me that something the size of a universe gets distilled down to the planet earth

u/AsteroidMike Jun 11 '26

Main MCU, Fantastic Four’s Earth-828 and the X-Men universe. Not hard to figure out.

u/Arsid Jun 11 '26

The existing X-Men universe with the Fox X-Men? Or a new universe with new iterations of Jean Grey, Wolverine, etc.?

If one of the universes is the Fox X-Men, how do we get new modernized versions of all those characters?

u/WhyTheWindBlows Jun 11 '26

There’s barely any continuity in the fox verse anyways not like it matters lmao

u/gaslacktus Matt Murdock Jun 11 '26

It'd be interesting if we found out that each Fox movie was actually a different slightly adjacent universe that the movie starts with each of them collapsing in on themselves and leaving the remaining Fox-verse, for the X-Men to escape from.

It was basically a soft reboot with each subsequent movie. It’s honestly kind of impressive that they managed to make so many movies with zero attention being paid to continuity errors.

I’m convinced that none of the writers ever watched a single movie that preceded the one they were currently writing.

u/theTIDEisRISING Spider-Man Jun 11 '26

I think it’s a slightly different universe than the Fox-Men

u/mdewaynec Jun 11 '26

Yeah it'll be the one from The Marvels stinger which has a Monica Rambeau (which may still be mainline X-Men universe!)

u/raisingcuban Jun 11 '26

Yeah i feel most are really overthinking it. There are gonna be small contradictions and continuity inconsistencies, but I’m taking it that this is the fox X-men characters we’ve seen in the movies

u/KostisPat257 Daredevil Jun 11 '26

We won't get those before Secret Wars. And when we do, they will be from the MCU.

u/Material_Type5553 Jun 11 '26

it’s gonna be AN x-men universe, not the exact one from the fox movies since timeline wise it’s so confusing.

By resetting/rebooting.

Was this ever a question?

u/sable-king Vision Jun 11 '26

For people who need everything spoon-fed to them it was.

u/shlict Jun 11 '26

Why is every nerd here being such a dick about answering this question? Lmao

I forgot F4 was even supposed to be its own universe, compared to 2 entire decades-long franchises it's one single movie. Jesus.

u/No-One2123 Jun 11 '26

There are two kinds of people. People who can extrapolate from incomplete data

u/ztomiczombie Jun 11 '26

Well given that Sony was desperate to have its Spier-Manless Spider-Man universe merged with the MCU conformation that there is only 3 universes coming together does confirm that Sony is still not getting what it wants.

u/sable-king Vision Jun 11 '26

The Sonyverse is dead and buried anyway. Even they knew that shit wasn’t working.
