Captain America Civil War: How would the X-Men weigh in
Captain America: Civil War is set to release in less than a months time. The internet is currently being bombarded with fan questions and theories, speculating on what motivation will drive the film. It's obvious that the film will focus on Captain America, but as to how the Civil War will conclude is up to debate. Another question on people's minds is how and where are the X-Men in all this? Yes, their property rights are currently under 20th Century Fox and Captain America: Civil War is packed with superheroes as it is, but where would the X-Men fit into the Civil War conflict if they were given the opportunity to appear? Their Marvel Comics' counterparts have members of the X-Men and other fellow mutants on opposing sides, just as members of the Avengers find themselves in Captain America: Civil War. It's not impossible to think that in the near future 20th Century Fox will come to an agreement with Disney and Marvel to share the properties of the X-Men, and fellow mutants. Fox is down to only having proprietary rights over the X-Men out of the Marvel franchise; the rights to Daredevil, Punisher, Ghost Rider, and Blade have all reverted back to Marvel and Disney which is leading toward the inevitability of the X-Men becoming a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. If and when this agreement will be reached is still unknown, but it brings up an intriguing question as to how the X-Men would fit into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Were the X-Men to be brought into the MCU' as it's currently facing the fate of Captain America: Civil War, the mutants of the X-Men could have an interesting role in the MCU' just as their comic-book counterparts played crucial roles in the Civil War event as well.
