Oh definitely, the X-Men are pretty secondary, although the anti-mutant sentiment is part of what leads to registration. Though I imagine the MCU is just going to be taking the "Tony vs. Steve" element from Civil War, and everything else will be different.

I mean, none of them have secret identities to be compromised anymore, except maybe the Maximoffs, depending how they're handled. And there really aren't that many superheroes in the MCU - it seems kind of silly to have a "civil war" over a law to regulate, what? Maybe a dozen people? Half of whom used to work for the government anyway. They basically already HAD registration in the MCU - it was called SHIELD, and it just blew up pretty spectacularly.

I'm guessing that the new Civil War is going to be over how to fill the SHIELD vacuum, with Steve opposing any new government agency ("This is how it ends - everything goes") and Tony, fresh off his Ultron failure, insisting that they need somebody to regulate things because, as terrible as the WSC and SHIELD may have been, it beats almost accidentally annihilating the human race with your sentient robot army.
