The next premiere of Deadpool & Wolverineset for release on July 25, will mark a new milestone in the MCU by ushering in what Feige calls the “mutant era.” Not only will this film be Marvel Studios’ first to receive an R rating, but it will also signify the beginning of a new era in which mutants will play a central role in the MCU’s narratives.
Feige has indicated that, starting with this film, all subsequent Marvel productions will be part of this new era, taking advantage of characters from the X-Men universe that they didn’t have access to before. “So, this is the beginning of that, and every single one of those films will be a part of this new era, taking advantage of characters from the X-Men universe that they didn’t have access to before.

Avengers vs. X-Men?
To lead this new phase, Marvel Studios has hired Michael Lesslieknown for his work in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakesto write the script for the X-Men reboot.
