I’m dying for Deadwyler to get picked up for one of these CBMs but Lawson is still my pick for Ororo

Same friend.

It’s rumored that she’s going to be the black Scully in Coogler’s X-Files reboot, so there’s that.

Hopefully that rumour that Joanna Calo is being brought in to have a quick go of it are true. I could see her being like, the Louise Simonson to Lesslie’s Claremont potentially.

Or maybe the success of heated rivalry has meant they don’t need to, you know, make it so conservative potentially

This couldn't be as bad as Simon Kinberg's rewrites.

ApocHorseman: "X-Men is not casting yet. Jake Schreier hasn’t even officially signed on yet. Plus they’re likely going to be younger" (May 16, 2025)

Tatiana Siegel*, Variety: (July 30, 2025):

Marvel’s Next Moves: ‘Black Panther 3’ and a Young ‘X-Men’ Cast to ‘Keep the Cost Down’; ‘Blade’ and ‘Deadpool 4’ Are Lower Priorities

With 'X-Men,' Marvel has indicated to reps that it is looking for younger talent, rather than A-listers, to “keep the cost down,” says an agent.

Casting will begin soon, and the field is wide open. But Marvel has indicated to reps that it is looking for younger talent, rather than A-listers, to “keep the cost down,” says another agent. (Feige also indicated he is looking to focus on the next-gen aspects of “X-Men” during a recent conversation with press.) Marvel is holding July 23, 2027, on the release calendar for an unnamed film, but sources say it won’t be filled by “X-Men.” Marvel declined comment for this story.

ApocHorseman: “X-Men script is being rewritten (classic Marvel) so it’s kinda early [to comment on casting/characters]” “Not sure who the leads are [for the new MCU X-Men] but they want them to be much younger. Teens/early 20s. Script is being rewritten tho” (December 25, 2025)

* I'm not particularly fond of either of these people for different reasons.

His reign on the Fox era was really a clownery.
