Overview
- Director Jake Schreier, in a Collider interview Tuesday, said Lee Sung Jin and Joanna Calo are writing a new draft of the X‑Men script.
- Schreier said the duo fits the comics’ mix of ideology and close personal drama, aiming for the “soap opera” energy that drives the team’s stakes.
- He noted their past work together on Beef and Thunderbolts*, and the new draft replaces or reworks an earlier script by Michael Lesslie.
- Plot and cast remain under wraps, with reports pointing to a youth-focused lineup, rumors linking Sadie Sink to Jean Grey, and a likely 2028 release that some outlets peg to May 5, all unconfirmed by Marvel.
- Schreier said he and Marvel have discussed where the franchise could go next, as Avengers: Doomsday is reported to bring back Fox-era X‑Men actors to help bridge into the reboot.
