Marvel Fans, We Got Some Bad News ðŸ˜
If you were hoping to catch the X-Men reboot in 2027, it’s time to take a deep breath. Marvel Studios just did a major reshuffle of its release calendar, and that shiny new X-Men flick? Yeah, it’s probably not hitting screens until 2028 or later.
So, What Went Down?
Originally, things looked promising. Michael Lesslie (of Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes fame) was brought in to write, and Thunderbolts director Jake Schreier was tapped to direct. There was even talk of shooting starting next year for a 2027 drop. Hype level: MAX.
But now? Marvel just pushed Avengers: Secret Wars to December 2027. That was the anchor date for the mutant comeback. And since the plan seems to be: no X-Men reboot before Secret Wars, that basically cancels any 2027 dreams.
Where Does That Leave Us?
The last mystery MCU date for 2027 is July 23, but Secret Wars drops after that in December. So that spot is a no-go. Meaning? The next real contenders are:
- Feb 18, 2028
- May 5, 2028 (prime summer blockbuster slot!)
- Nov 10, 2028
And honestly, May 2028 feels like the sweet spot to introduce the new mutants.
Casting? Still a Secret (But Not Really)✨
Marvel hasn’t made it official, but rumors say Julia Butters, Hunter Schafer, Cynthia Erivo, Margaret Qualley, and Jake Champion are all being eyed. So yeah, the ball is rolling, just not at the speed fans hoped for.
TL;DR: The X-Men reboot is def cooking, but you might need to wait till 2028 to feast.
