Few superhero franchises have had quite the journey of “X-Men.” From the original 2000 movie that helped usher in the modern superhero era to Hugh Jackman’s emotional farewell in “Logan,” the franchise has delivered some genuinely brilliant highs, as well as a fair few forgettable lows. Across 14 movies, we’ve had time travel, mutant cures, apocalyptic villains, alternate timelines and, of course, plenty of Wolverine. However, the X-Men are far from finished.
Marvel Studios is finally bringing the mutants into the MCU with its new “X-Men” movie, which is set to hit theaters on May 5, 2028. Marvel unveiled its new ensemble at D23, with Sadie Sink set to play Jean Grey alongside Kit Connor as Cyclops, Christopher Abbott as Professor X, Inde Navarrette as Rogue, Maya Boyd as Storm and Samara Weaving as Emma Frost. Adam Driver will also join the cast as the villainous Mister Sinister, with “Thunderbolts” director Jake Schreier at the helm.
