0:00It's April 7th. I'm Cory with the story. This is Entertainment and celebrity news today, driven by AI and Bill for the Culture. Jake Shryer is stepping up to direct Marvel's new X-Men movie after his solid run with Thunderbolt star in 2025. That flick with Florence Pew got love from fans and critics alike, building on his earlier hits like Robot and Frank in 2012 and Paper Towns. In 2015, word drop last July that Shryer was tapped for the X-Men gig, kicking off big plans for the mutant team in the MCU. No official cast yet, so we're all guessing who leads the pack in this fresh take and its follow-ups. Fans are buzzing about rumors like Sadie Sink possibly as Jean Grey tying into other Marvel projects, but nothing's locked in. Thunderbolt's star success has folks hyped for Shryer's vision on these iconic heroes. Latest group is Lee Sung Jin and Joana Kalo are drafting the script now, picking up from Michael Leslie's work back in May 2024. No release date on the horizon, keeping the anticipation high.
