As a cinema aficionado, I’m buzzing with excitement over the whispers that the X-Men are joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe! The burning question on everyone’s lips is: Are any of these casting rumors we’re hearing actually factual? Only time will tell, my fellow movie buffs. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and stay tuned for official announcements!
Based on reports from film news site World of Reel, Marvel Studios has added two unnamed movies to its list of future projects, leading many fans to believe one of these could be a reboot of X-Men. Kevin Feige’s statement about the “mutant era” coming to the MCU strongly hints at this possibility.
Now it’s no longer speculation.
According to the Film & Television Industry Alliance, an as-yet-unnamed X-Men reboot movie is currently in development or pre-production. The planned shooting location is London, England, with filming set to begin on October 6, 2025. Two writers have been assigned so far: Rafe Judkins, who has experience writing for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Amazon’s adaptation of Wheel of Time; and Michael Lesslie, who has penned screenplays such as Assassin’s Creed and The Hunger Games: A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.
The project summary states:
The group of Charles Xavier, affectionately known as the mutants, are tasked with safeguarding a world that harbors disdain and apprehension towards them due to their unique looks and talents.
It’s unclear what the website intends by “cheerful mutants.” Some people might interpret it as a drastic shift in the characters’ personalities, which is a common trend in modern Hollywood productions. However, until we have more information, this interpretation remains speculative.
Given the writers credited for the movie, it’s still quite possible that the situation holds true. The adaptation of Brandon Sanderson’s “Wheel of Time” by Amazon was strikingly similar to and potentially as damaging to lore as “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power”.
At present, there’s no information about who the director or producer is for the FTIA project, and no cast members have been officially announced yet. However, there are rumors circulating that the Russo brothers (Joe and Anthony) might be involved in directing or supervising the X-Men reboot.
It’s said that Harris Dickinson could be a potential choice for playing Scott Summers, also known as Cyclops, in the upcoming X-MEN remake movie.

Independent journalist Jeff Sneider has suggested that Harris Dickinson, known for the film ‘Babygirl’, is being considered for the role of Scott Summers (also known as Cyclops). Additionally, there are rumors about ‘Stranger Things’ actress Sadie Sink potentially playing Jean Grey. More recently, Sneider hinted at ‘Freaky Friday’ star Julia Butters possibly being chosen to portray Kitty Pride.
Sadie Sink is reportedly the frontrunner to play Jean Grey in the MCU.

Furthermore, Twitter user MyTimeToShineHello, who is known for leaking information in the industry, suggests that Kelsey Grammer, renowned for his role as Beast in the initial X-Men live action trilogy and a brief appearance in The Marvels, might reprise this character in the upcoming Avengers films, specifically Secret Wars and Doomsday. It remains unclear if he will continue with the new X-Men cast after these movies.
At present, these rumors appear to be just that – unsubstantiated stories. The exception seems to be the potential return of “Cavillerine,” which might have a stronger basis than mere conjecture.
According to a longstanding leak from WDWPro, it appears that Hugh Jackman has agreed to a multi-year contract with Marvel, suggesting he will continue playing Wolverine for another decade. It remains unclear whether Jackman’s Wolverine will be the central character in the MCU’s X-Men series or if he’ll only continue his role within the Deadpool franchise.
It seems that Kevin Feige stated that they don’t have any immediate plans to replace Wolverine, as he intends for the next Wolverine character to have a “completely different style.” According to CBN, Feige also mentioned that emulating Hugh Jackman’s portrayal could be a significant mistake.
