I don't see why the FoX-Men wouldn't be rebooted.
While the movies are doing well, it's not like they are these gigantic hits (outside of Deadpool) where it would make sense to keep them as their own separate entity.

If you honestly and truly think that Marvel is not going to want a clean slate for whatever they have planned then there is just no talking to you. CLEAN SLATE!! No returning cast. No picking up past plots. No connections period. Phoenix is the end of the Singerverse proper with whatever the New Mutants ends up being sort of just an afterthought.
All of the current actors are on contracts that expire with this movie. The continuity in the universe is a disaster and the aging/current team/lack of Wolverine all point to a glaringly obvious decision.
The will be rebooted. And we can all rejoice in removing Kinburg and all the other screw ups from being a part of this great set of characters permanently.
Here’s yet another interesting article about Donner and X-Men. But again I don’t know the accuracy of this article.

The adaptation of the popular Marvel Comics property had been a long one. In 1984 Marvel writers Gerry Conway and Rob Thomas wrote a screenplay for production company Orion Pictures (Platoon) who had optioned the film rights. But when the company fell into financial troubles the rights went over to Carolco Pictures (First Blood) who began plans for a big screen outing for the X-Men produced by James Cameron (The Terminator) with his then-wife Kathryn Bigelow (Near Dark) directing. Bigelow began drafting up a script and started talks with Bob Hoskins (Who Framed Roger Rabbit) to play Wolverine alongside Angela Bassett (F/X) as Storm, however financial strains reared its head once again and disrupted the process. Not only that, but Stan Lee had convinced Cameron that rather than do an X-Men movie he should instead focus on a Spider-Man adaptation. By the mid-90s, after a deal with Columbia Pictures fell through, the rights were picked up by Lauren Schuler Donner (St. Elmo’s Fire, Pretty in Pink) following the successful animated spin-off of the comic series, who took the project to 20th Century Fox.

X-Force in active development and likely still happening in spite of Disney-Fox deal.

Xforce is a deadpool 3 basically and no one thinks Marvel is gonna mess with Deadpool hes too popular. So this I can definetly see continuing as long as Ryan Reynolds wants to do the role.The actual XCU is a hole different story. But you can hold on to that dream. Who knows maybe Dark Phoenix will be huge. If it does 1b(highly unlikely for an Xmen movie by fox) then I can see Marvel pausing and being like ok let's milk that cast before we reboot in the MCU. But we know Dark Phoenix more then likely isnt gonna light the box office up. But the first trailer was trash if we get a Aquaman type badsss trailer to get people hyped next then maybe, you never know.
X-Men has hundred of characters, I think there is no way Kevin Feige will take such a big project when he is already too busy with the MCU. We’ll see a little crossovers, cameos and maybe a full crossover movie but in the near future.
I’m still waiting for someone to show me any Disney or Fox official quoted as saying or hinting of a reboot.
This reboot story is just internet rumor with zero bases.
I'm not a fan of the FF, but I do hope they get a great re-introduction to audiences. As subpar as the XCU is, they have nothing on the disservice those characters got.
It'll all get a nice, fresh coat of paint. Hopefully we'll get a cohesive narrative like the Avengers that builds one great storyline into another.
I'm sure others have said it, but I would really love it if the Phoenix really actually did destroy the Fox X-Universe on screen. The Phoenix (or the M'Kraan Crystal, but in conjunction with the Phoenix) is the perfect entity to do that kind of thing -- the 90s X-Men: TAS comic ended exactly that way (as the immediate to the 616 universe, even showing how Galan survived to become Galactus-616), and Grant Morrison had the Phoenix do it in Here Comes Tomorrow.
