Jake Schreier, director of the upcoming X‑Men film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, said he is drawing on comic book storylines and aims to bring a new perspective after the recent D23 2026 cast reveal, which announced actors for Rogue, Storm, Professor X and Mister Sinister. The announcement came at D23 2026, where Marvel revealed the first post‑Avengers: Secret Wars X‑Men movie slated for release on May 5, 2028. Schreier previously directed Thunderbolts and has been in discussion with Kevin Feige about using under‑explored comic arcs. He said the comics have a broad history and that the team will look at works by writers Chris Claremont and Jonathan Hickman to find stories not recently told. The cast includes Inde Navarrette as Rogue, Maya Boyd as Storm, Christopher Abbott as Professor X, Adam Driver as Mister Sinister, Kit Connor as Cyclops, Samara Weaving as Emma Frost and Sadie Sink as Jean Grey. Schreier noted the film will honor the source material while taking a new approach. He added that the movie is part of a broader MCU schedule that includes VisionQuest in October and Avengers: Doomsday in December, both shown at D23, and that Ghost Rider is also planned for 2028 without a set date. Black Panther 3 is set for December 15, 2028. The article was written by freelance writer Michael Cripe for Ign.
