Season 5 of Stranger Things<\/a> is well underway, and one of its stars is rumored to be in the running for one of the more underrated X-Men characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With Disney acquiring 20th Century Fox, the X-Men will make an appearance in the upcoming <\/a>Avengers: Doomsday<\/a>, and fans are speculating whether Millie Bobby Brown will, at some point in the future, appear in the MCU as a member of the X-Men. <\/p>\n

According to ComicBookMovie, there are rumors that Brown, who plays Eleven on Stranger Things, could be part of an X-Men reboot helmed by Thunderbolts* director Jake Schreier and writer Michel Leslie. Scooper @MyTimeToShineH claims that Brown could be up for a role in the upcoming MCU X-Men reboot and says the actress could play a role like Shadowcat, or even Rogue, or Jean Grey.<\/p>\n

MCU fans shouldn\u2019t get too excited about Brown\u2019s debut in the X-Men franchise, as the scooper hasn\u2019t revealed Brown\u2019s exact role in the movie, as it\u2019s still a rumor. So far, nothing has been confirmed by Disney regarding Brown\u2019s involvement in any upcoming MCU installment. However, it should be noted that Avengers: Doomsday directors Anthony Russo and Joe Russo directed Brown in the 2025 Netflix movie The Electric State. It\u2019s also been reported that the Russo brothers will oversee the next MCU saga as consultants.<\/p>\n

This summer, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige touched on the X-Men reboot, saying, \u201cThere’ve been more X-Men movies than there were Spidey movies or Fantastic Four movies, so a lot has been done,\u201d Feige said at that time. \u201cBut again, because it’s because it’s almost a comic legacy onto itself, there’s so much more to tap into it and there’s so many sagas within sagas for X-Men that that’s part of what we’re talking about now is which saga to grow and build to while doing the most important thing, which is introducing all of these characters and giving them their due in our first film,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m not going to speak to the makeup of the characters that will be in the first movie, but look at Galactus, look at Gambit in Deadpool & Wolverine, look at Wolverine in Deadpool & Wolverine,\u201d Feige said. \u201cWe want to embrace that which was not embraced 25 years ago when I was around on those early X-Men movies, which is those comic-accurate looks,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n

X-Men: First Class Is Streaming on HBO Max<\/p>\n

The X-Men reboot so far doesn\u2019t have an official release date, but it has been speculated that it could hit theaters sometime in 2028. In the meantime, fans of the 20th Century Fox-era X-Men can catch 2011\u2019s X-Men: First Class on HBO Max<\/a> as it just dropped on the platform on Dec. 1.
