Overview
- Jake Schreier, in a Tuesday interview with Collider, said Lee Sung Jin and Joanna Calo are now writing a new draft for Marvel’s X‑Men movie.
- Schreier said the pair fits a vision that balances ideology with intimate, “soap opera” style drama, and he has been revisiting Chris Claremont’s comics run for direction.
- This new draft follows earlier versions by Michael Lesslie after prior work from Aaron Rabin and Zach Dean, with the project described as still in active development.
- No cast is official, and trade reports say Marvel is looking at younger actors, which aligns with Kevin Feige’s past comments about telling stories centered on young people who feel like outsiders.
- Fox‑era X‑Men actors are expected to appear in Avengers: Doomsday before the reboot, and Schreier said the team is discussing long‑term mutant plans as reports point to a tentative 2028 theatrical target that has not been confirmed.
