Deadpool Director Tim Miller Plans MCU X-Men Movie

Tim Miller, renowned for directing the 2016 hit Deadpool, has expressed strong interest in directing the upcoming X-Men film within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). He personally reached out to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, emphasizing that the X-Men are his favorite characters and considering them Marvel's 'secret weapon' yet to be fully unveiled. Miller had previously been developing an X-Men movie based on the #143 comic issue at Fox, a project halted by Disney's acquisition of Fox. Beyond Marvel, Miller also revealed ambitions to work on DC's The Authority, a darker take on the Justice League. His background includes not only directing Deadpool but also executive producing acclaimed series like Love, Death & Robots, showcasing his ability to tell layered and innovative stories. With Marvel planning to reintroduce the X-Men and integrating legacy Fox actors, Miller's vision and enthusiasm position him as a compelling candidate to helm the new mutant era in the MCU.
