Marvel Director Begins Work on MCU X-Men Reboot

Marvel Studios is actively developing a reboot of the X-Men franchise within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), with Jake Schreier, director of Thunderbolts*, confirmed to be leading the project. Schreier revealed in an interview that work on the X-Men film has begun and shared insights from his experience on Thunderbolts*, highlighting the challenge of balancing action with emotional, character-driven scenes. The X-Men reboot is positioned to be a central focus for the MCU following the conclusion of the Multiverse Saga with Avengers: Secret Wars, and Kevin Feige reportedly has a decade-long plan for the mutants, possibly under a new 'Mutant Saga.' While no official release date or casting announcements have been made, several veteran X-Men actors from the Fox era are expected to return in Avengers: Doomsday, setting the stage for the reboot. The project remains highly anticipated, with Marvel gradually revealing details about the mutants' integration into the MCU’s next phase.
