What would be a good way to introduce the X-Men, FF, and Deadpool to the MCU? Here's my take on it:
Deadpool: just shove him in any movie and have him joke about how he doesn't know how he ended up there / how he is a different incarnation of the character now. Keep Ryan Reynolds.
X-Men: since Endgame introduced alternate timelines, have a new timeline that branches from Avengers OT at some point during human history, like around when En Sabah Nur was born, because of an accident / event that amplified the effects and the frequency of the X-gene / mutant gene in human population. Hence producing a completely different Earth, with new countries, culture and laws, and have these earthlings be hostile towards mutants (with them being the only super-powered beings on Earth, hence keeping one of the key elements of X-Men, discrimination, which I don't see being possible in the Avengers OT). Have the X-Men find our timeline or the other way around. This implies that there are indeed mutants in the MCU OT, like Wanda, Pietro, and perhaps others like Wolverine, but they are accepted in society, have lesser powers, and are less frequent among the population. Also this way you can have a holocaust survivor Magneto as many years old as you want, because it would be a completely different holocaust / genocide as X-Earth has a different history. So recast them all.
Fantastic 4: this is the most difficult one, I'd have Reed Richards be present in the AOT all along as a scientist, and perhaps the team could gain superpowers via quantum realm exploration shenanigans.
Another way to introduce the FF could be by making them come from the X-Men timeline so that they can be an experienced team already, and the Studios won't have to rehash their origin story another time, akin to what they did with Spider-Man

Easy mode: The 'restored' the timeline wasnt restored perfectly causing a butterfly effect
F4 and Xmen already exist. That also gives the writers enough room to provide small reboots here and there.
Honestly doesnt need to be complicated.

Hope they introduce the F4 right away in Phase 4. They really need a big name to carry on the next phase, and it doesn't sound really that hard to build them up within the MCU. Just skip the origin, get them to embrace their destiny and make them fight the Mole-Man right away, tease up Namor and Doom and call it a day. Also, Feige said he wanted to go full cosmic with Phase 4, so they fit the job like a glove. The mutants though will maybe need more build up. They need to introduce the concept of mutantkind and explain why they're feared by society to justify the existance of the X-Men, Xavier, his school and so on. Maybe next Phase they'll sort that out.
Hudson Sanders
they had the chance with endgame to merge some worlds that had the mutants
Jacob Ortiz
>Keep Ryan Reynolds
Big mistake. But not only that, the man wouldn't stay because Marvel would never let him do whatever he wants with Deadpool. He's a total control freak with the character so he'd be pushed out.
Ryan Collins
Just sprinkle small change introductions to the new timeline. Example mention mutants during a new broadcast or Doom of Latveria in a science article. The post-endgame heroes are oblivious to the timeline changes except Dr. Strange.
Wyatt Sanchez
its a new timeline they can reboot anything at this point
Kevin Baker
You could gradually introduce X Men characters in upcoming movies.
John Bell
I don’t want FOX’s trash cast and neither does Disney. It’s the reason why “X-Men” was dropped from Dark Phoenix’s title
Jeremiah Powell
we could have it so the F4 were in a space mission for the last couple of years. i mean if they kept Cap. marvel a secret why not them. also Doctor Doom or Galactus is the next big bad evil guy.
Robert Cox
Storm in Black Panther Rogue in Captain Marvel Magneto and Polaris in Vision and Scarlet Witch Wolverine in Winter Soldier and Falcon Colossus in Black Widow Sunfire in Shang-Chi
Xavier Sullivan
Iceman Firestar in Spider-man *shrugs*
Cooper Mitchell
Introducing the Fantastic Four to the MCU would be fine. The X-men however need to be in their own separate universe separate from the MCU.
Juan Walker
>Also, Feige said he wanted to go full cosmic with Phase 4, so they fit the job like a glove. You are absolutely right, I agree on the idea that they should introduce them as an experienced team already. And I think you're right about the X-Men, because this way they would have time to let people forget and put aside the current incarnation of X-Men and move on, and they will have time for setting the fundamentals during phase 4 like mutanthood awareness and discrimination. Sounds perfect
Justin Thompson
>For the Fantastic 4 Pepper creates a university in Tony's honor. It has been set up to take the best and brightest to help improve Earth. A new film focuses on two best friends, postgrads, working there.
Their names are Victor and Reed.
Bentley Morris
Duuude that would take way too many years to set up properly, and they would 100% rush it, unless they make another (big) timeskip
Easton Lee
I thought about this idea of the F4 having been in a space mission for a couple years when Disney brought the rights. It would be cool imo.
Zachary Watson
Or even have them departing way back before 2008, and put their origins in the early 2000s, would it work in-universe? It would also have this weird feeling because we actually did have fantastic 4 around that time, even if they were a different iteration.
Adrian Cox
>Fantastic 4: See I would have them as a group that break out of some realm jump shit.
Kevin Jenkins
Its just as simple as: everyone who got dusted and returned came back with superpowers.
There you have it.

Jonathan Campbell
I have it. They can let Reed Richards and his team in the MCU as regular people, and introduce the Fantastic 4 in Phase 4 by having them "jump" in our timeline from a different timeline where they gained superpowers and have been operating for many years, including cosmic-tier experience. This way we already have 2 Reeds that can interact with each other teasing the council of reeds. Also have Doom be a good man in F4 timeline and be a villain in the original MCU timeline.
Samuel Flores
Like, Reed Richards is a regular scientist in this current timeline, and in a different timeline he gained superpowers with his team in like 2008 for some reason. Then in 2023 or whatever the current year is the Fantastic 4 come from their timeline to ours for some reason
