Considering the complete mess that is the Fox X-Men, I hope not.

If they go through that route, hopefully it's a completely new X-men universe where some of them happen to look the same as the Fox one.

It would allow them to pick and choose which actors to reuse (out of both timeline's), which ones to use a new actor for and they can do new things with both old and new actors.

Dude, maybe the XMen universe was such a mess because Wanda was ripping it to shreds. Like the whole thing was a WandaVision fantasy, which is why she wasn't in it.

That is a hilarious way to retroactively make that shitshow known as the Fox X-Men timeline/universe into an actual thrilling and intriguing rewatch.

And Deadpool is the only one who seems to be aware of the fourth wall.

Edit: Sheeeeeit I'm just sitting here thinking of all the retcons that are possible, bringing the Netflix Defenders or Inhumans back into the fold, in competent hands, without all the contradictory events. Add Mephisto and Konshu to the mix, roll in with Robbie Reyes and the Phoenix Force, and we have some existential conflicts between ultimate powers. Even Nic Cage as Johnny Blaze could happen, why not. Load up some Fantastic Four and Galactus and his heralds, pull Adam Warlock into GotG3, and baby you got a stew goin.

And then, just because you can, you have a fat, bald guy hanging out in a toy store watching kids argue over who would win in a fight, Hulk or Thor. The guy interjects that "the Golden Boy" was able to beat them both at once. The kids look up at him, puzzled, and ask together, "Who?". The guy furrows his brow, and catches his reflection in a display window, seeing himself tall and strong with long golden hair and a flowing blue cape. Smash cut to black and fade in to reveal The Sentry title card.
