Fans Think X-Men Will Release in 2028 After Marvel Schedules New Date

by

2028 will see a new Marvel movie hitting the screens, leaving fans guessing which superhero team or character might take center stage in this upcoming production. Some enthusiasts are even suggesting that this could be the long-awaited introduction of the X-Men. If accurate, this film may indicate a significant change in Marvel’s narrative trajectory following Secret Wars and introduce mutants to their cinematic world.

Marvel schedules secret fourth movie’s release date for 2028

Disney has formally included another unnamed Marvel Studios movie in its schedule for a 2028 release on December 15th, 2028. This is in addition to the previously declared Marvel films set for February, May, and November in the same year.

Should Marvel release all four movies in one year, that would signify a shift away from recent reductions in film output. In May 2025, Disney CEO Bob Iger admitted that the studio had been spreading itself thin by producing too much content, leading Marvel to reduce its production rate to prioritize quality.

In my enthusiasm as a fan, I’d rephrase it like this: During an investor call, Iger admitted that we, the studio, have learned over time that producing more doesn’t always lead to better quality. Honestly, we’ve all acknowledged that we strayed a bit by making too many films. Now, our focus is shifting towards creating fewer but higher-quality movies instead.

It’s unclear if the scheduled release in December 2028 will actually be used, as Disney has a tendency to keep dates without revealing titles. For instance, Marvel’s Blade was pulled from its November 2025 slot once Disney decided to replace it with Predator: Badlands instead.

Marvel fans are sure X-Men will arrive in 2028

After the official announcement of December 15, 2028 as the release date, many online fans have been discussing the possibility that this could be the introduction of Marvel’s X-Men within the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). On various social media outlets like X (previously known as Twitter), there’s a strong sentiment that the unnamed movie might serve as Marvel’s initial X-Men production following the Secret Wars saga.

It hasn’t been disclosed yet which movie will occupy the December 2028 release date by Marvel Studios. Potential candidates for this slot could be Blade, Black Panther 3, Thor 5, Shang-Chi 2, another Fantastic Four installment, and the eagerly awaited X-Men remake. However, it’s been announced that Jake Schreier, director of Thunderbolts, will take charge of Marvel’s first film centered around mutants.

In December 2027, Secret Wars marks the end of the Multiverse Saga. Following this epic conclusion, Marvel is expected to move its focus towards characters formerly owned by 20th Century Fox, such as the X-Men. This transition has sparked excitement and speculation about their potential appearance on the big screen in 2028.
