X-Men Reboot Skips Wolverine, Redefines Franchise

0:00On April 8th, rumors are swirling that Marvel's upcoming X-Men reboot in the MCU won't feature Wolverine at all. Multiple insiders, including scuba accounts like My Time Toshine Hello and Daniel R.P.K. say the current script draft skips the Clawed Mutant entirely, echoing a tip from September 2023. This lines up with Hugh Jackman's Wolverine sticking around Post-Deadpool and Wolverine's success. He's lined up for Avengers Doomsday in Secret Wars, so the reboot team wants fresh faces without overlapping his run. Fans love Wolverine as the ultimate X-Men icon, but comics fans point out he wasn't in the original line of anyway. Plus, the Weapon X program and Adam Antium just hit the MCU, so his story arc needs time to build. Director Jake Schreyer confirmed the project's moving forward, with writers Lee Sung-Jen from Beef and Joanna Callow from the Bear crafting a script. Schreyer wants to hit untapped paths, blowing up personal team drama into epic scale.
