Jake Schreier Directs Marvel's X-Men: New Script, Strong Team

0:00On April 7th, Jake Schreyer, the guy behind Thunderbolt star, just got picked to direct Marvel's next big X-Men flick in the MCU. No release date yet, but is slated to drop after Avengers Doomsday hits theaters this December and Secret Wars rolls out in 2027. Back in May 2024, Michael Leslie was hired to pen the original script, way before Marvel locked in Schreyer as director last July. Some fans have freaking out now that Lee Sung-jin and Joanna Callow jumped in for a fresh draft, seeing it as a red flag for production drama. But hold up, this crew has serious chemistry. They teamed up on Netflix's beef, and K-Lo co-runs FX's The Bear. Their vibe fits perfect for X-Men, building team bonds and giving depth to those overlooked mutants. With Thunderbolt star streaming on Disney Plus, this X-Men project is shaping up strong, so fans can chill and watch it all come together down the line.
