The MCU have given updates and recent announcements of their movies and shows, including the Fantastic Four.
No X-Men announcements though. Not even Deadpool.
How many years until you think the MCU will be ready for them?

I hope it takes as many years as possible, and I hope it's not allowed to consume every version of the x-men like it did with GoTG
Depends on if there are any supporting characters in Deadpool 3. It’s not outside the realm of possibility that that one could come in 2022, so if Cable or Domino show up again then we could see some X-men characters in two years. But most likely it’s 2023 at soonest for most of the mutants.
Pre-pandemic I was thinking 2024 but now given the amount of things that have been delayed/rearranged and new things added, I'm thinking 2026.

I must say I was incredibly jealous of the recent deluge of Marvel movie/TV news which didn't even have a hint of our merry mutants. I mean, as a Marvel fan I'm looking forward to most of their upcoming productions, but as an X-fan first and foremost I'm just dying to get even the smallest bit of news about them.
At this stage I'd say they're 4/5 years away at the very least. As much as I'd love to believe otherwise, I don't think we'll be getting any cameos or anything like the rumoured/wished for Rogue in Captain Marvel 2 or Storm in Black Panther 2.
The X-Men franchise will stay dormant over the next few years and then it will likely be the next big thing Marvel focuses on... but it will be a while before we get there.
Imho it can't get here soon enough. I'm gonna miss seeing the mutants on the big screen or little screen.
I hope people get tired of the mcu by then
The movie will use Hickman’s take almost certainly. It’s not a case they’ve gone for something new and different just now. It’s also easy to see this from the fact that all the new announcements are inspired by the modern runs that happened in the Alonso era: Sam as Cap has been already setup when Steve gave him the shield, Jane as Thor, the King-inspired Vision series, Iron Heart, Kate Bishop as Hawkeye, Ms Marvel etc.
The X-Men as just a mutant superhero team would be poor man’s Avengers and the school/Fox X-Men versions horribly failed in the last two X-Men movies and New Mutants movie. So Hickman was hired to completely reboot the concept of the comics, which will certainly be used in the movies. It’s why Hickman boosted the cosmic and magical aspects of the X-Men, as these are big parts of MCU.
Obviously the answer is after this phase/slate of movies. 2021 and 2022 has four movies bunch of them represent the maybe possible end of their franchise like Antman and GotG. 2023 has one movie listed in GotG and lets pretend that Blade and FF, Deadpool will be what fills in the other 3 slots. Then soonest we can see an X-men movie is 2024.
My personal feeling, not until they do a full reboot of the movies. Recast Cap, Iron Man, etc. Because they will want to do Avengers V X-Men for a final chapter.
I'm thinking 2027 or 2028.
I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:
Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.
