movies/tv Why aren't the X-Men and Deadpool part of Disney's MCU?

Since Disney owns the rights to Fox Studios, now, surely that means they have the movie rights to X-Men and Deadpool (and any other Marvel IP's that Fox has made movies out of), and thus can have them in the cinematic universe.

I know Disney doesn't get Fox News. You can blame it on the lawyers who remind everyone involved what is and isn't allowed.

Disney didn't have the movie rights to those franchises until literally this year, and Fox wasn't willing to work with them like Sony did with Spiderman(and that one might come into issues soon too as Sony is also really stingy with Spiderman, though not as much as Fox)

In the ultimate spider man tv series wolverine and Deadpool made their appearances on the show.  I assumed Disney already have earn the right for them. Until of course Deadpool movie came and Disney completely lost it right for this character. Why? Because they think Disney will ruin the deadpool they "know and love." Bullshit.
