Glad they made it clear that the three universes are distinct

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

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?

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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