@outside_85: @rabbitearsblog: True, it does depend on the characters used, but I don't expect them to avoid iconic X-Men, because of better market draw on the recognizable nature of those characters. They're more likely to just twist those characters to meet their desired formula.
The Avengers aren't jokesters in the comics either, true, but they (Disney) benefited at least from there not being other Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, etc. movies out there showing them being serious. They had a blank slate with general audiences. With the X-men, an MCU tone would be jarring given how many serious X-Men movies there are out there in the public consciousness.
And yeah, the world building integrating the two very different universes will be very difficult. Not to mention differentiating mutants from Inhumans in Agents of Shield. I don't see it being smooth.
