The upcoming X-Men<\/a> MCU<\/a> movie has received a big casting update.<\/p>\n

Thunderbolts* director Jake Schreier<\/a> has been tapped to direct an X-Men movie for Marvel Studios<\/a>; however, this film isn\u2019t expected to arrive until after Avengers: Doomsday<\/a> and Avengers: Secret Wars. Official details for the film have not been released at this time.<\/p>\n

What is the X-Men casting update?<\/p>\n

According to a recent article from Variety<\/a>, casting for Schreier\u2019s X-Men movie is expected to begin soon; however, while the outlet says \u201cthe field is wide open,\u201d Marvel<\/a> is reportedly \u201clooking for younger talent, rather than A-listers, to keep the cost down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marvel\u2019s Kevin Feige previously said that the X-Men movie will be a \u201cyouth-focused reboot.\u201d He continued, \u201cThat may be reflected in mutant castings, and it\u2019ll definitely be felt in the tone and perspective of the film.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schreier also recently told The Playlist<\/a> that the new X-Men outing will be \u201crecognizably different\u201d than previous movies.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I think that\u2019s fair to say,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s that red sniper dot out there somewhere, you know\u2026But to be able to explore all of the ideas that are inherent to that rich source material, but also at\u00a0the scale\u00a0inherent to the source material, that\u2019s like a very rare and fortunate opportunity. That\u2019s very exciting.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026Without going into too much\u2014 really almost any detail, what I can say is, it\u2019s just inherently interesting and complex material\u2026The core idea of what X-Men is involves complexity. It\u2019s an incredible opportunity with super interesting characters and [much] internal conflict. These characters are wrestling with their identity and place in the world\u2014that\u2019s inherently interesting and complex material.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new X-Men movie does not have a release date at this time. The next MCU movie will be Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which arrives in July 2026, before Avengers: Doomsday hits in December 2026. Avengers: Secret Wars then arrives in December 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The upcoming X-Men MCU movie has received a big casting update.
