X-Men MCU Movie Finds Beloved Director

Jake Schreier is being eyed to direct Marvel Studios’ forthcoming X-Men movie.

At the moment, Marvel Studios is developing an upcoming X-Men film penned by Michael Lesslie. As of now, there’s no announced release date for this movie, though industry insiders anticipate it will come out following the releases of ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ and ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’.

Per Deadline, Schreier is now in “early talks” to helm the X-Men movie for Marvel Studios.

What do we know about the possible Jake Schreier X-Men movie?

It’s logical because Schreier just finished directing Thunderbolts for Marvel Studios, a film that has been praised by both viewers and critics. Moreover, this movie has already earned an impressive $172.9 million at the worldwide box office to date.

Here’s another way:

It follows logically since Schreier recently directed Thunderbolts for Marvel Studios. This film has received positive feedback from both fans and critics, and it has also generated a substantial $172.9 million at the global box office thus far.

According to a recent report by Deadline, it’s unclear where things currently stand in the negotiations, but sources suggest that Schreier is now the leading contender to work on one of the studio’s highly-anticipated upcoming projects following a meeting last week.

Prior to Thunderbolts*, Schreier was behind the scenes for films like Robot & Frank in 2012 and Paper Towns in 2015. He has also been involved with various television productions, including Lodge 49, Dave, Brand New Cherry Flavor, Minx, Beef, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, and others.

*Thunderbolts is a Marvel Cinematic Universe film directed by Jake Schreier, scheduled for release in July 2024.

Before positive responses started pouring in about Thunderbolts, studios had already been seeking business opportunities with the director. However, it’s reported that he has recently started declining job offers, as indications suggest he might secure one of the highly sought-after directing positions in town. Deadline’s article also notes that Schreier is an avid fan of X-Men comics.

At present, specifics about the X-Men movie’s storyline are kept secret. Although it seems probable that a fresh ensemble of actors will be involved, no official word has been given yet on whether any actors from previous X-Men films, such as Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen who are appearing in Avengers: Doomsday, will make an appearance in the upcoming MCU film.

Thunderbolts*, meanwhile, is currently playing in United States theaters.
