I don't either. X-MEN is getting more and more difficult to fit into a 21st century mold. Their chief antagonist's views were shaped by the Holocaust. Which would make Magneto in his late 70s this year. Add to that: It seems very unlikely that Spidey and the Avengers and everyone else never would have run in to a mutant. Fitting the X-MEN into the current Marvel movie mode just doesn't seem to work in any way.
Which means (prepare to groan all you naysayers):
It's time for a total reboot of the Marvel movie properties. Your stars are getting too old. Your currrent storylines have just about run their course. And now, you finally have the X-Men and THE FANTASTIC FOUR back. Do it over. Do it right.
Disney has the box office power of about 4-5 movie studios now. And looking at Disney's plans to launch a Netflix streaming competitor, they probably won't stop at Fox.

The X-Men movies were at least decent which means they were at least watchable without yelling "what the hell?" every five minutes or so. Never cares about the FF I like the first two well enough but as a whole the FF were lame. Sue Richards was/is the only one with real power. The Thing is a poor mans Hulk. Sure Reed is highly intelligent but he would more useful in adult movies or as a scientist. The Torch meh. I LOVE the Avengers movies so far. Civil War was TERRIBLE!!! The cast of everyone in the Avengers is perfect! Even though some here don't like Downey as Stark/Iron Man he's perfect as a sexist, billionaire
playboy. Same with the rest of the cast even so more when it comes to Chris Evan he IS Captain America!
Unless Marvel does the New Mutants I don't care for another X-Men movie. I don't really care of the New Mutants either. After watching Spider Man Home Coming "Sorry threw up in my mouth a bit thinking how bad it was." Keep pushing forward with movies like Dr. Strange, etc. IMO, DC needs to either give up on doing another JL or start all over The cast is good enough but they should try to stop rushing things so much, and PLEASE keep going on with Wonder Woman and stay focused and don't screw it up!

Don't judge the FF by the movies. There has yet to be a good FANTASTIC FOUR movie.

They can reboot the entire MCU save Evans and Cumberbatch.
We need a proper follow-up to The Winter Soldier, too. More of that, please. Plenty to draw from the '80s storylines, too. Not every movie has to culmination with an extinction/genocide-level threat.

Can't get rid of Downey either. Yes, like with Wolverine there is SO much story to use the Cap. Himself, Bucky, and Logan teamed up a lot in different wars. In fact Cap and Bucky didn't even know Logan was a mutant for a long time. They thought he was lucky getting out of the of the placed they fought at so they called him lucky James. Again SO much story to be told! I like the cast of The Avengers they picked the right people to play said parts. IMO, having anyone else playing them would be a let down even more so because they are well into The Infinity Gauntlet too late to do a reboot. Personally I'm tired of reboots get it right the first time!
Yes, they can. And yes, they should. And I say that as a big fan of Downey and what he brought to the character. But it's time for that character to go. He's run his course.

The Infinity Gauntlet is the perfect place to do a reboot. Because it's The Infinity Gauntlet! It would be one thing by which they could explain a "reset" or alternate dimension or whatever.
Which I don't think they should, by the way. I find that pandering. Trust the audience to be a little intelligent. Just say, "Hey, thanks for your love and devotion to our movieverse over the past years. But it has come to an end. Two years from now, you'll get a whole new Marvel movieverse. Consider the past 12 years our practice run."
A reboot is needed to get the Marvel Universe right. Marvel couldn't "get it right the first time" because they couldn't include half of their best characters. The current storyline cannot incorporate the Fantastic Four or the X-Men without it coming across as very jammed in and force fed. And with their major stars wanting to move on, they have every reason for a Do Over.
Really though ...
Marvel's new movie-verse ought to be animated. They are Disney after all, and there are so many characters that you could pull off in an animated film that just would NOT work live action. Characters like Reed Richards, Galactus, Doctor Doom, Green Goblin, Thanos, etc.
