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

0:00It's April 7, welcome to Entertainment and celebrity news today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. Jake Shryer, 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 on script duty, but Shryer wasn't locked in as director until July 2025. That left plenty of time for changes once the team came together. Fans are buzzing with worry over the script, getting a fresh rewrite by Lee Sung-jin and Joanna Callow, seeing it as a red flag for production hiccups. Turns out, this crew has serious chemistry. They teamed up on Netflix's beef, and Callow co-runs FX's The Bear. They're vibe with team dynamics and deep character work from Thunderbolt's star screen's perfect fit for X-Men. With that kind of firepower, this X-Men movie could redefine the mutants in the MCU, so keep an eye on how it builds from here.
