Marvel Studios To Meet With Writers for X-Men Movie

With the WGA strike officially over, Marvel Studios is beginning to meet with writers to take pitches for an X-Men movie.

According to a new report from Deadline, Marvel Studios will set writer meetings over the coming months in order to take pitches for the highly anticipated film.

The report mentions that “there is no rush” to fill the role, however. A final decision on who likely won’t come until sometime in the beginning of 2024.

What do we know about the X-Men in the MCU?

An X-Men film from Marvel Studios is something that fans have been hoping to see made for some time now. Currently, there are no casting or even crew decisions that have been made on a possible new X-Men film.

However, several actors have been floated around in rumors. This includes Giancarlo Esposito, who has openly said that he’d love to play Charles Xavier — Professor X — in the film.

While no live-action news is available as of yet, Marvel Studios is still showing love to the X-Men franchise. References to the X-Men in the MCU have come in the Disney+ series Ms. Marvel. In the closing minutes of the finale, it’s revealed that Kamala has her powers due to a mutation in her genetics, at which point the iconic X-Men animated series theme music players.

Aside from that, an animated series, X-Men ’97, is also set to release next year. It will continue the adventures from the iconic X-Men animated series of the 90s.
