Kevin Feige should take a step back with the big budget approach when he decides to introduce the X-Men into the MCU

Who doesn’t love the X-Men? The mutants have been a favorite superhero team among comic book fans for decades. Their complex characters and compelling storylines captured the imagination of audiences around the world. In the ’90s, the X-Men animated series took the Marvel characters to new heights, telling awesome stories and appealing to new generations.

Fox did a solid job with their X-Men film franchise in terms of the volume of movies, but there was a lot of meat left on the bone. X-Men: Days of Future Past, Deadpool, and Logan were the bright spots in a film franchise that’s struggled to find its footing in recent years. X-Men: Apocolypse and Dark Phoenix suffered the same fate as X2 and X3 as underwhelming and unevenly received movies.

One possible solution to this problem is for the X-Men to be brought into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as a low-budget cohesive unit. After all, there are rumors that suggest the MCU will focus on quality over quantity.  There are several reasons why this approach could be beneficial for both the X-Men and the MCU as a whole.
