The Marvel Cinematic Universe is gearing up to integrate the X-Men into its expanding multiverse, with Thunderbolts* director Jake Schreier reportedly in early discussions to lead the project.

Deadline reveals the filmmaker is currently in preliminary talks with Marvel Studios to direct an upcoming X-Men film. While negotiation details remain confidential, sources indicate Schreier ranks high on Marvel's director shortlist for the mutant-centric feature.

Currently in early development, the X-Men movie will feature a screenplay by Michael Lesslie (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes), with Marvel president Kevin Feige attached as producer. Key details including casting, release timeline, and its connection to the wider MCU remain closely guarded secrets.

The MCU has been gradually planting seeds for mutant introduction throughout its Phase 4 and 5 projects. As multiverse narratives expand through films like The Marvels, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine, brief cameos have teased potential crossovers with iconic X-Men characters. While The Fantastic Four: First Steps will debut Marvel's First Family in July, mutantkind's presence remains conspicuously absent - for now.

X-Men fans won't have to wait until the standalone film, as multiple mutant actors are confirmed for Avengers: Doomsday. Last month's casting announcement revealed franchise veterans including Kelsey Grammer (Beast), Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), Rebecca Romijn (Mystique) and James Marsden (Cyclops) will appear. Their inclusion raises questions about whether Doomsday might secretly adapt the iconic "Avengers vs. X-Men" storyline from the comics.

Marvel has been quietly building toward mutant incorporation for years. Feige confirmed last year that X-Men would debut within "the next few movies," while THR reports Ryan Reynolds has advocated behind-the-scenes for a Deadpool/X-Men crossover. Though no official X-Men film appears on Marvel's current slate, the studio's rapid development pace suggests mutant fans won't face another decade-long wait.
