Endgame likely involves time travel and some reality-bending, with the Infinity Stones and whatnot. They could simply “Secret Wars” the FF and X-men into existence in the MCU after that film. And then have the existence of mutants be part of the running Skrull conspiracy that will likely comprise Phase 5 of the MCU. So kind of a mish-mash of House of M (where mutants have always been here, but Xavier has been part of a global cover up to keep them hidden) and Secret Invasion (where the Skrulls have been here for awhile too infiltrating our governments and even Hydra). As for the Fantastic Four, well, they were a team of adventurers who went on an ill-fated mission into deep space years ago and never returned... or did they? In reality, they went into the Negative Zone and returned after being bombarded by cosmic radiation of some sorts, changed in fantastic ways. Or maybe we find them in the Quantum Realm.
So many possibilities for bringing these characters over...
