Thunderbolts* director Jake Schreier has been rumored as Marvel's top choice to take on the job of directing a reboot of the X-Men film franchise. However, Schreier himself has now denied that he's been confirmed to direct the X-Men reboot, though he does have a few thoughts about where he'd start if he were to take it on.
"Even if I were confirmed on that movie, I don't think I would be allowed to answer that question," Schreier told an audience at the Mediterrane Film Festival in Malta (via Collider). "I guess what I would say is that it always starts from character and working with great writers and collaborators, and certainly thinking about how to do something different with any project that you take on. That's as much as I can say."
