They should be announced sometime this year. Its not just gonna be Avengers from December 2026 to December 2027.

I saw Hadestown recently and I really love that they cast whoever is the best choice for Hermes regardless of gender so I was wondering who would you cast as a woman professor X? Bonus points, you can’t say Emma Corrin and they’re non binary anyway

Secret 4th Marvel Movie Gets 2028 Release Date, Fans Think It’s X-Men

A new Marvel movie has been scheduled for release in 2028, and fans think it's X-Men. Read further ahead to know more details!

February 2028
May 2028
November 2028
December 15, 2028

I don't believe there's going to be 4 mcu films in 2028. Thats just too much.

 

[SumT]

that December date is probably the November film being pushed back a month, because, I guess, Marvel now consider December a bigger month (money wise).

3 films a year is more than enough. and Id even say maybe too much. Personally, I think 2 Marvel movies each year should be the pattern, that way they can make sure each film is amazing and the audience has enough time between movies without getting tired or saturated.

 

[psylockolussus]

I want Marvel Studios to release a X-Men movie every 2 years.

2028-2030-2032-2034-2036

 

[SumT]

That hasnt ever happened at Fox, and with the biggest teams, that never happens, except a few Avengers events. But thats an exception, not the norm.

3 years between X-Men sequels is the realistic approach. Rushing sequels is something Marvel shouldnt do, or any big studio for that matter.

 

[psylockolussus]

Spider-Man - 2002 2004
Spider-Man - 2012 2014
Spider-Man - 2017 2019 2021
Iron Man - 2008 2010
X-Men - 2014 2016
Deadpool - 2016 2018
Fantastic 4 - 2005 2007

Its possible, as long as the studio doesn't juggle so many projects and the director/writers just prioritize doing X-Men. Also, using Avengers as an example, when Infinity War/Endgame was released 1 year apart, and soon Doomsday/Secret Wars. The Russo brothers directed four Marvel movies in six years (2014 to 2019) and all were critically acclaimed.

If they want to, they would. Outside cb movies, Harry Potter, Twilight, Hunger Games, Divergent were releasing yearly if not every other year - half of those franchises are ****, but with the right creative team, it can be done.

I just think waiting 3 years for a new X-Men movie is just way too long and goes back to the 2000s in which we got 3 X-Men movies from 2000 to 2006. How many stories/characters are we really going to get with that? Disney+ is also a lost cause, so spin off mutant shows are just not going to be enough inbetween X-Men movies.

Other than Spider-Man 2 in 2004, all the sequels you listed that only had 2-year lead-in are inferior.

Do you really want to use TASM as your example for how MCU should be treating X-Men? Or X-Men: Apocalypse only coming out 2 years after DOFP? Didn't that torpedo all the goodwill that they just won back in DOFP?

 

[SumT]

Doomsday and Secret Wars will be released back to back, yes............ but the latest Avengers movie (Endgame) came in 2019, 7 years before Doomsday.

these big events movies have been in preparation during many many years, rewrites, and build up.

Marvel Studios wont fast track X-Men sequels right after debuting. Ensemble movies are harder to make, because its a more complex production, with +30 actors and all, different and complex agendas, etc.

comparing Spiderman fast-tracked movies at Sony with a big X-Men movie under Marvel Studios.... yeah, doesnt make any sense. and yeah, lets not talk about Apocalypse and how little care the creative team had with the actual X-Men characters. And the boxoffice showed it didnt work in their favor.
Fast-tracking movies is never a good thing.

2016: Captain America Civil War
2018: Avengers Infinity War
2019: Avengers Endgame

2025: Thunderbolts, Fantastic 4
2026: Avengers Doomsday
2027: Avengers Secret Wars

Nobody said its easier, but 3 years isn't a requirement if they have a plan and they know what they are doing. If you want to wait 3 years for every new X-Men film, okay. X3 and Dark Phoenix also came out 3 years after the last one.

Kate Winslet.

Oh wow straight with the k-o. I was thinking lily tomlin but I like yours way more

 

[psylockolussus]

She kinda reminds me of James McAvoy's acting but much better. She would really suit the professor / leader role.

 

[Fincher]

Lena Olin.

 

[Silvermoth]

I was also thinking Whoopi Goldberg would be incredible, her whole career has been about trying to find peaceful coexistence and she would have some fiery chemistry with lilandra if they introduce her

 

[SumT]

So cool seeing Marsden back

Will We Ever Get Short King Wolverine in the MCU? Kevin Feige Gives Interesting Answer

Kevin Feige teases comic-accurate mutants in MCU's X-Men, and the possibility of a short Wolverine. Is this what fans have been waiting for?

collider.com

“Does that mean you guys are looking for a short king for Wolverine?” Feige didn’t deny it. In fact, he leaned into it:

“Well, that's… that’s an example of, yes, something from the comics that has not been done. [Laughs]”

“I'm not going to speak to the makeup of the characters that will be in the first movie, but look at Galactus. Look at Gambit in Deadpool & Wolverine. Look at Wolverine in Deadpool & Wolverine. We want to embrace that which was not embraced 25 years ago, when I was around on those early X-Men movies — which is those comic-accurate [designs].”

Not surprised that he's saying all the right things.

I've said it before, but just like with the new Fantastic Four movie, the secret is simply embracing the comics, something FOX was avidly against for 20 years.

 

[SumT]

just imagine if Feige, Jake and producers adapt each single x-men exactly as they are in the comics/X-Men TAS/97.....

it would be a really huge hit worldwide and in the long term. fingers crossed they nail the whole casting.

X-Men MCU Movie Gets a Major Update: ‘It’s All Starting Now’ - Comic Book Movies and Superhero Movie News - SuperHeroHype

The upcoming X-Men MCU movie from Thunderbolts* director Jake Schreier gets an exciting update from Kevin Feige.

www.superherohype.com

Now announce the May 2X28 release date!

 

[BobJM]

“…Jake’s an incredibly smart guy, and he’s an incredibly talented filmmaker. We had a great experience with him on Thunderbolts*. And if you saw that movie, what he did with those character interactions, he also has his pulse on, shall we say, a younger demographic. He’s younger than me for sure, but he’s tapped into that in a way that I think was important for Thunderbolts*, much more important for X-Men. Because X-Men, as it was in the comics, will be a very youth-oriented, focused, and cast movie.”

Feige’s quote from the FF press tour.

Teen X-Men confirmed? Sign me up for live action X-Men: Evolution please

Teen X-Men confirmed? Sign me up for live action X-Men: Evolution please

Although I think I would prefer more adult X-Men rather than teenage X-Men (since I think the whole mutant powers=teen angst is a little bit been there done that), a live action X-Men evolution would be interesting. There is already two actresses who can look the part of X-Men evolution characters:

Joey King as Wanda

Olivia Rose Keegan as Rogue

 

[BobJM]

I’d definitely prefer an older/adult cast with one or two young recruits to be the voice of teen angst, but it sounds like we’re going back to the beginning with the cast & casting for the long run. At least based on that Feige quote, but who knows.
