Overview
- Multiple trade outlets report that The Hollywood Reporter first revealed Asa Germann is in final talks or set to play Warren Worthington III, aka Angel, in Marvel’s X‑Men film.
- Citing Thursday’s coverage, trades say Germann originally auditioned for Cyclops and was offered Angel after studio executives, including Kevin Feige, were impressed by his screen test.
- The movie remains directed by Jake Schreier and scheduled for release on May 5, 2028, with the D23 core cast already including Sadie Sink, Kit Connor, Christopher Abbott, Samara Weaving, Inde Navarrette, Maya Boyd and Adam Driver.
- Marvel Studios declined to comment to reporters about Germann’s casting and several key roles and production details — notably Beast, Iceman and official start dates — have not been announced.
- Casting Angel revives a founding X‑Men figure whose comic arcs, including a turn as Archangel under Apocalypse, give Marvel clear narrative options, and Germann’s Gen V and Scream 7 credits are widely cited as credentials for the role.
