It is no secret that Marvel is preparing a film with which to inaugurate the new era of the X-Men in the Marvel film universe. In fact, according to a recent report by The Wall Street Journal, Kevin Feige and his study They would already have a ten -year plan for mutants.
But before giving way to the new stage of the Patrol-X, it is tribute and farewell to the previous one. It will be in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’, where the original X-Men, including Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart or James Marsden, They will return once again to the papers they played in the original films of the saga.
After the end of the Multiverse saga, everything indicates that the X-Men will pass to the front of the UCM, with several names already rumored for the new generation. Although Marvel has not officially announced the project, it is known that it is in development and It is one of the works most coveted by Hollywood directors.
However, the struggle for the director’s chair could be close to its end, since according to Deadline exclusive, Marvel would already have a favorite for the position. And the chosen one is an acquaintance of the house: Jake Schreier, who has just fired at the top of the House of Ideas with ‘Thunderbolts*’, film that has granted Marvel Studios one of his best criticism scores.
-According to medium sources, after the good reception of the film about the antihero and mercenaries team of the UCM led by Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Feige would have met with Schreier last week and everything seems to indicate that it would be the study number 1 of the study. Both parties have recorded that they had a very positive experience creating ‘Thunderbolts*’ (a film that marks Marvel’s change after several disappointments) and would be very interested in continuing to collaborate. Of course, it is still soon and the negotiation is unknown, although Deadline says that Schreier is “in early conversations” to accept work.
In addition, sources from the same medium report that the filmmaker has begun to reject other offers, which would indicate that he is more than interested in taking care of the X-Men. Schreier not only He has demonstrated with ‘Thunderbolts*’ Being very good managing the dynamics of such an essential group in the mutantsbut it has also made it clear that X-Men’s comics knows well, something that Marvel was aware. If this agreement ends up materializing, the election process would end after search months and different approaches presented to the study.
The (assumptions) candidates X
Since Disney recovered the rights of the X-Men with the purchase of 20th Century, the conversation about who would be the successors of the previous mutant stage has not stopped. Feige has gradually reintroduct them in the UCM, through references, cameos, changes in the already known characters (such as Ms. Marvel) and especially with the Multiversal Multive ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’, which returned us back to Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, in addition to introducing other mutants, including one that we never got to know, because his film was canceled: Channing Tatum Gambit. And we cannot forget ‘X-Men’ 97 ‘, the acclaimed animated revival that for many is the way to follow in real action.
In recent months, the rumor machinery has intensified and there are several names that sound very strong to embody the next X-Men, for which Marvel would be looking for actors in the twenties. The one that looks like a safe signing (although it is not confirmed) is Sadie sink (‘Stranger Things’), which could give life to the New Jean Gray and make its debut in ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’. On the other hand, Insiders point to Harris Dickinson and Julia Butters as Cyclops and Kitty Pryde respectively. But again, everything is rumors and with the project still in diapers, anything can happen.
