The MCU's X-Men haven't arrived on the big screen yet.
But that hasn't stopped Marvel Studios from subtly reintroducing mutants into the universe.

Marvel fans have waited for years to see mutants and the X-Men join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and they're definitely on the horizon thanks to Disney buying 20th Century Fox in 2019.

The iconic blue-and-yellow outfits have yet to make their way to the big screen again after Fox's last attempt at following Professor X (James McAvoy) and the gang in a series of prequel movies.

But the mutants are coming, and Marvel Studios has already subtly reintroduced them to the MCU a few times.
