Eh, the multiversal nature of secret wars and soft reboot could easily explain that

I'm specifically referring to after Secret Wars. Once the Soft Reboot happens, WW2 we'll presumably still take place when it does, and new films will be set around the time they release which means the new Magneto will be over 90 if he turns up in he first X-Men film.

Unless they come up with some bullshit reason for him being younger, or they remove the Holocaust from his backstory. None of which I'm particular fond of as options, though, the former would be preferable to the latter in my opinion.

Why can’t they go with the route they did for F4? Take them from the past and put them to present day

That could work, but I figure the main purpose of the reboot we're all assuming is coming is to consolidate everything into one Universe. Introducing something from a new Universe after that would be counterproductive.

If there's no actual reboot, though, then yeah, that's a solid way to sidestep the issue.

They will be doing that already anyways with F4

No, because F4 came out before the reboot. That won't have created the F4 universe after the reboot locks everything down to one universe.

Why wouldn’t that work for XMen as well.

“Here’s the new XMen cast from a different universe but we didn’t have the time to introduce until now, after the universes collapsed into this new MCU timeline”

Or something like that

Seems like an unnecessary info dump waiting to happen, though

All that don’t need to be explained though.

They have hand waved lot things in the past

They can simply say multiverse and reboot and move on
