Mentioned it in the BO thread, but Dark Fate bombing made me think it. I'm not sure about this 2022 rumored date for FF. IMO 2022 would be better served with Feb - Blade, May - Panther 2, July - Ant Man 3, add a new Nov date - Guardians 3.
The best thing they can do with X-Men and FF is take their sweet time. Introduce them slowly and organically. Right now the GA sees those two properties as damaged. They have been burned too many times by crappy movies. A titular title shouldn't come until we have seen the characters introduced in another movie or two. Make them cool again before a main title. Not that dissimilar from how they treated Spider-man, but it may take a couple of movies as opposed to just one.
Dark Fate is a good movie, but people have been burned too much by the franchise, so the movie bombed.
