Celebrating the fifth anniversary of and Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox, the Mouse House is finally getting serious about a new movie. Marvel Studios is reportedly in final talks with Michael Lesslie, writer of 2023’s to pen an all-new live-action adventure. To paraphrase an X-Men fan on July 14, 2000, we never thought we’d see the day.

While we hope that Lesslie has lost his penchant for awkward subtitles, his name is all we have about the new movie. Neither stars nor a director are attached. The film simply moves forward.



However, that doesn’t mean we can’t begin fancasting the movie. For one thing, it’s about time Kevin Feige gave the Marvel faithful what they’ve long asked for and cast Glenn Danzig as Wolverine. Next to Fantastic Four the X-Men are the piece of Marvel mythology that longtime fans want to see most.

Since then, we’ve seen an uptick in mutant mentions on screen. The 2024 release of and the upcoming trumpet the official arrival of those angsty mutants into the greater MCU. has been a critical success for Marvel.

Breaking free from the epidemic of superhero fatigue that swept the nation in 2023, the show became the first must-see Marvel entry in some time.
