It appears Marvel Studios’ plans to wait some time before introducing to X-Men to the MCU and Avengers: Endgame writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely told Collider that they believe the franchise should “rest for a second.” However, the screenwriting duo added that they would love to see a Silver Surfer movie sooner than later and that such a project should go full-on cosmic.
