Did "The Snap" Introduce Genetic Mutation To The MCU? The Writers of AVENGERS: ENDGAME Discuss

We still don’t know what the full effects of “The Snap” are in the MCU. There were three snaps in total, and there was Quantum Realm travel. At this point we know that through the events of the Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, there have been huge changes made to the MCU, the biggest reveal so far is that it all led to introducing the multiverse.

If something like this could lead to the creation of alternate universes, could it have also led to the introduction of genetic mutation to the MCU… you know… mutants? While talking to THR, Endgame writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely were asked if this is possible, and Markus said:

“Anything is possible, but I don’t whether you’d need that. Genetic mutation is genetic mutation. It just happens. Maybe they are already out there.”

That’s a fair answer. McFeely goes on to add:

“I do think that whenever Kevin decides to do X-Men or Fantastic Four, it won’t be how you think it’s going to happen. I think he’s going to have a real clever version of it.”

Now, that could include tying into the events of the last two films, or it might not. I think that by opening up the multiverse, anything is possible and the X-Men and Fantastic Four could be introduced to the MCU in a variety of ways because of that.

But, as a fan, of course I’m super excited and curious to see how Kevin Feige does end up bringing the X-Men into the fold.

How do you think mutants will end up being introduced to the MCU? Will it be because of “The Snap”? Could some of the people who were bought back from the ash come back with mutant powers? Will they come from an alternate universe? Share your thoughts and theories!
