Marvel Studios is set to introduce the X-Men in the near future with not just whatever the outcome of \u201cAvengers: Secret Wars\u201d is but also Jake Schreier\u2019s upcoming \u201cX-Men\u201d movie.<\/p>\n

Schreier (\u201cThunderbolts\u201d) himself has dismissed the various casting rumors that have swirled about as casting isn\u2019t expected to officially get underway until later in the year, with only some early preliminary discussions having taken place and zero formal offers made at this time.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, like with James Bond, casting rumours have been running rampant for months how ranging from Charles Melton to Odessa A\u2019zion, Wagner Moura, Cynthia Erivo, Hunter Schafer, Bill Skarsg\u00e5rd and \u201cObsession\u201d breakout Inde Navarrete.<\/p>\n

Last weekend, talk surged that Adam Driver was in talks to play Magneto. That\u2019s changed again today with a new report at ApocHorseman<\/a> suggesting he\u2019s actually up for Mr. Sinister.<\/p>\n

Scooper MTTSH<\/a> is saying Cooper Hoffman (\u201cThe Long Walk,\u201d \u201cLicorice Pizza\u201d) has emerged as the studio\u2019s \u201ctop choice\u201d to play Scott Summers\/Cyclops.<\/p>\n

None of the trades has given any credence to the reports, which have mostly circulated from the more speculative parts of online scoopdom. All of this appears to be purely speculative for now, but it is driving a lot of online chatter.<\/p>\n

Filming on the new \u201cX-Men\u201d film isn\u2019t expected to get underway until sometime next year, though pre-production could commence before the end of the year. Sonny Lee Sung Jin (\u201cBeef\u201d) and Joanna Calo (\u201cThe Bear\u201d) recently boarded the project to write a new draft of Michael Lesslie\u2019s script.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo: Magnolia, Art: Marvel Marvel Studios is set to introduce the X-Men in the near future with not…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":767746,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[137872,88,206],"class_list":["post-767745","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-bigslider","tag-entertainment","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/767745","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=767745"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/767745\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/767746"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=767745"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=767745"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=767745"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
