There have been 13 live-action X-Men films so far, and the film rights to the X-Men were acquired by Disney in their buyout of 21st Century Fox. Many are anticipating the return of the X-Men to the big screen as well as mutants finally making their appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.Fox already used many of the most powerful mutants in their movies with the likes of Apocalypse and the Phoenix.
