Disney made unprecedented efforts to market Marvel making it the most valuable and profitable media franchise the world has ever seen.

Disney did all that without what mainstream critiques considered their “A-list” properties: X-men and Fantastic 4 being two out the three (the other being Spider-Man).

What this means is that we can start seeing X-men and mutants in the MCU, as well as the Skrulls, Doctor Doom and a whole bunch of other properties that were associated with X-men and F4. This goes beyond movies and will touch anything carrying the Marvel label.
In a world where IP rights are practically forever, the only way to un-silo everybody's little IP fiefdom is to grab all the IP. Welcome to the Disney legendarium. It's a situation they created themselves, and boy are they cashing in on it.
