Marvel Studios might begin development on Fox's comic book properties such as X-Men and Fantastic Four — thanks to its parent Disney's impending acquisition of Fox — in the first half of 2019, according to president Kevin Feige, with the intention to bring them under the Marvel Cinematic Universe umbrella that includes the Avengers, and Guardians of the Galaxy among others.

Asked whether he already has the greenlight to start working on Fox-owned Marvel properties, Feige said on Marvel's been in a unique position to not have access to those characters for a long time. But in of actually thinking about it and actually planning things, we haven't started that yet.”

If Marvel Studios is able to follow through on that, we might see beloved X-Men characters cropping up in the MCU or in standalone entries possibly in 2021. While the likes of Logan spin-off based on Dafne Keen's Laura/X-23 character, a Multiple Man film with James Franco, and sequels for Dark Phoenix and The New Mutants. It's unclear which of these will survive the transition from Fox to Disney.

Feige has a lot on his production hands already — some reportedly and others officially confirmed — including the Dave Callaham (Wonder Woman 1984) as writer.
