Kevin Feige<\/a> has shared an update regarding the X-Men<\/a> MCU movie.<\/p>\n

Marvel Studios<\/a> is currently working on an MCU<\/a> movie that is expected to arrive after Avengers: Doomsday, which is currently in production, and Avengers: Secret Wars. Both Avengers movies are being directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, also known as the Russo Brothers.<\/p>\n

In May, Deadline<\/a> reported that Thunderbolts* director Jake Schreier<\/a> was the top choice to direct the X-Men film.<\/p>\n

What did Kevin Feige say about the X-Men MCU movie?<\/p>\n

Per ComicBook<\/a>, Feige confirmed that Schreier will indeed be directing X-Men.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s official, Jake Schreier is doing\u00a0X-Men\u00a0for us, and we\u2019re very, very lucky,\u201d Feige said. \u201cAnd we\u2019re very, very lucky to have him and very excited to have him. And so we\u2019re beginning.\u00a0It\u2019s all starting now. The script\u2019s underway.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026Jake\u2019s an incredibly smart guy, and he\u2019s an incredibly talented filmmaker. We had a great experience with him on Thunderbolts*. And if you saw that movie, what he did with those character interactions, he also has his pulse on, shall we say, a younger demographic. He\u2019s younger than me for sure, but he\u2019s tapped into that in a way that I think was important for Thunderbolts*, much more important for X-Men. Because X-Men, as it was in the comics, will be a very youth-oriented, focused, and cast movie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Plot details for Marvel<\/a>\u2019s new X-Men movie remain under wraps at this time; however, Feige has reassured fans that it won\u2019t be something they\u2019ve seen before.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot has been done. But again, because it\u2019s X-Men, because it\u2019s almost a comic legacy unto itself, there\u2019s so much more to tap into it,\u201d he commented. \u201cAnd there [are] so many sagas within sagas for X-Men that that\u2019s part of what we\u2019re talking about now \u2014 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<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kevin Feige has shared an update regarding the X-Men MCU movie.
