Marvel Studios is beginning to move its sights toward the X-Men, with the iconic group of superhero mutants expected to be introduced into the Marvel Cinematic Universe within the next five years or so.
Following the conclusion of Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, it appears as though the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be going through a reboot, with reports indicating that a new crop of X-Men will be at the center of it.
According to reports from Variety, Marvel Studios is going to be focusing on casting younger talent as the X-Men in order to avoid the costs that come with casting established A-listers.

“Casting will begin soon, and the field is wide open. But Marvel has indicated to reps that it is looking for younger talent, rather than A-listers, to ‘keep the cost down,’ says another agent,” Variety reported.
“Feige also indicated he is looking to focus on the next-gen aspects of X-Men during a recent conversation with press. Marvel is holding July 23, 2027, on the release calendar for an unnamed film, but sources say it won’t be filled by “X-Men.”
The X-Men script is being penned by Michael Leslie, whose previous credits include Macbeth, Assassin’s Creed, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, and Now You See Me: Now You Don’t.
Before Thunderbolts*, Schreier had previously directed Robot & Frank, Paper Towns, and the Netflix series Beef.
The next movie set to release in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is currently scheduled to hit movie theaters on Friday, July 31, 2026.
