D23: Marvel Studios Confirms That X-Men Movie is Coming In 2028

X-Men Marks The Spot In 2028

Over at Variety, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige has confirmed that an X-Men reboot is coming to big screens in 2028. Here’s a few details courtesy of them…

Marvel Studios exec Kevin Feige made the official announcement that the X-Men movie will release on May 5, 2028. The cast will include Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, Kit Connor as Cyclops, Samara Weaving as Emma Frost, Inde Navarrette as Rogue, Maya Boyd as Storm and Christopher Abbott as Prof. X. Adam Driver will play the evil Mr. Sinister.

It will be the first X-Men movie since Disney acquired Fox and its library of mutant characters. Several X-Men heroes have popped up in the MCU in recent years, and the billion-dollar blockbuster “Deadpool & Wolverine” and hit animated series “X-Men ’97” on Disney+ have slowly brought the mutants back in force. Now, the heroes will get their first proper movie since Fox’s “Dark Phoenix.”

There have been cameos from Fox’s X-Men stars in MCU movies, like Patrick Stewart reprising his role as Prof. Charles Xavier in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.” Kelsey Grammer also appeared in the ending of “The Marvels” as the super-smart, blue-haired scientist Beast.

After “Deadpool & Wolverine” paved the way for Fox’s X-Men characters to return, “Avengers: Doomsday” is going all out. Stewart and Grammer will be back for the team-up movie, in addition to Ian McKellen as the magnetic mastermind Magneto, James Marsden as the laser beam-shooting Cyclops, Alan Cumming as the teleporting Nightcrawler and Rebecca Romijn as the shape-shifter Mystique. After debuting in “Deadpool & Wolverine,” Channing Tatum’s card-throwing Gambit will also join the team in “Doomsday,” which hits cinemas on Dec. 18.

This year, we were introduced to Sadie Sink as Jean Grey in Spider-man: Brand New Day, a film which as of this writing has grossed $1.7bn worldwide.
