The MCU needs Anya Taylor-Joy's Magik in it (and not just for the X-Men connection)

Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool is one of three Fox characters Marvel Studios needs to bring in.

Know any good mutants? 

Kevin Feige and his Marvel Studios team are furiously working on what the mutant era of the MCU will look like. The building blocks you see - Wolverine in the MCU with Deadpool & Wolverine, Ms. Marvel being made a mutant, Beast appearing in The Marvels, and elsewhere - are just what you see as the public, with years (probably a decade) of advance planning we can't see. And with the final form of the X-Men in the MCU not yet set in stone, this primordial time is where changes (or advancements, I'll say) can be made.

And Anya Taylor-Joy's Magik needs to be in the MCU.

"Anya Taylor-Joy's Magik could give the MCU X-Men a much-needed rejuvenation to set it apart from the X-Men of the '00s most of the general public remembers."
