| Marvel Studios Officially Selects Jake Schreier to Direct the Upcoming X-Men Reboot as Part of the Post-Multiverse Saga MCU Expansion. |
Marvel Studios has finally confirmed who will direct the highly anticipated X-Men reboot—and it’s not who fans initially expected. Instead of Ryan Coogler, the job has gone to Jake Schreier, the filmmaker behind the upcoming Marvel title Thunderbolts.
Jake Schreier Steps in to Lead the New Era of the X-Men Franchise
This news was revealed directly by Ryan Coogler, known for his work on the Black Panther films and the recent release The Sinners. In a casual video shared on social media, Coogler addressed long-standing rumors by stating:
"No, no, I’m not directing it. Jake is."
When asked for clarification, he confirmed that he meant Jake Schreier.
Although Schreier’s involvement had been rumored since May, things heated up again last week when Marvel quietly added a fourth, untitled movie to its 2028 release calendar. With Coogler’s recent statement, there is now little doubt that Schreier is officially on board.
The X-Men Reboot Will Join the Marvel Cinematic Universe After the Multiverse Saga
The new X-Men movie will officially be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) timeline, launching after the conclusion of the ongoing Multiverse Saga. This reboot marks a critical phase in Marvel’s long-term strategy to integrate mutant storylines into its ever-expanding cinematic world.
Insiders have hinted that the reboot will feature a younger cast, signaling a fresh take on the beloved superhero team—separate from the earlier versions led by Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, and Michael Fassbender.
What Fans Can Expect from the MCU’s New X-Men
With Jake Schreier at the helm, known for his visually creative style and strong character development, fans can expect an emotionally grounded, action-packed reimagining of the X-Men universe. This won’t just be a continuation of the old stories but rather a modern reinterpretation designed for new audiences within the MCU framework.
Although no official release date has been confirmed, the current speculation points to 2028, aligning with Marvel's newly reserved movie slot.
Marvel Studios has officially chosen Jake Schreier as the director of the upcoming X-Men reboot, positioning the film as a key component of the MCU's post-Multiverse era. With a younger cast, new creative vision, and a fresh direction, this project is already shaping up to be one of the most anticipated superhero films of the decade.
