FOX X-Movie Franchise Hits "Reset Button"

If it were me at Fox, and no talks were possible with Marvel...

I'd completely ignore the Singer-verse. None of that happened, not even Wolverine or Logan. Not ever, not even as a loose history. Then I'd hire the equivalent of a Kevin Feige to sort of godfather the whole Fox movieverse. Someone who "Gets" the comics and understands how to translate them to modern day audiences without being a hack. Then I'd introduce in some small way the "new" X-Men, present day, with new actors playing Cyclops, Jean Grey, Wolverine, Beast, Gambit, etc., in better comic book form within the Deadpool 2 movie. Then I'd spin that same team off into "THE UNCANNY X-MEN" movie, maybe even featuring a cameo from Deadpool. Rethink to suit or just completely abort "Gambit" (if he's a hit in "Uncanny X-Men" then push for it, if not then let it go). Then get X-Force off the ground, in which Deadpool would even be a member of the team. Then Deadpool 3. And then sort of just grow things organically from there.

Best way to right the ship for them with what they have going, the way I see it. Not that I really even want them to... I'd prefer the whole Foxmen to just fail fantasically at this point.
