Marvel's X-Men reboot reveals its cast and schedules a release date for 2028.

      The mutant saga is on the horizon, and after weeks of speculation regarding the cast, we now know who will be joining Sadie Sink’s Jean Grey in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's reboot of the X-Men.

      During yesterday’s Marvel presentation at the Disney D23 Expo, which also featured trailers for Avengers: Doomsday and the Disney+ series VisionQuest, Marvel chief Kevin Feige brought director Jake Shreier (Thunderbolts*) to the stage with the cast. He confirmed the previously announced Kit Connor as Cyclops and Samara Weaving as Emma Frost alongside Sadie Sink’s Jean, while also revealing Christopher Abbott (Kraven the Hunter) as Professor Charles Xavier, Inde Navarette (Obsession) as Rogue, and newcomer Maya Boyd as Storm.

      The presentation concluded with Adam Driver, who appeared through a video message to confirm his role—not as Magneto, but as Nathaniel Milbury, an alias of Nathaniel Essex, more commonly known as the supervillain Mister Sinister.

      X-Men will launch the post-Avengers: Secret Wars MCU with a release date of May 5, 2028, joining Ghost Rider and Black Panther III as part of Marvel’s major film lineup for that year. Additional cast announcements are anticipated soon.
