Marvel Studios‘ upcoming live-action ‘X-Men‘ reboot movie will feature Gambit and Kitty Pryde, as confirmed by trusted scooper Daniel Richtman (@DanielRPK). The film is scheduled to begin production in Q4 2025.
Rafe Judkins (The Wheel of Time, Agents of Shield, Uncharted) and Michael Lesslie (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, Assassin’s Creed) are reportedly the finalists to write the script for X-Men. Marvel is also eyeing Ryan Coogler (Black Panther, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever) to direct.
Scooper MyTimeToShineHello has revealed that Angel, Iceman, and Jubilee will be featured in the upcoming X-Men film.
Will Channing Tatum Return as Gambit?
In Deadpool & Wolverine, Gambit was played by Channing Tatum, and fans hope he will reprise his role in the upcoming movie. Tatum made a 15-minute appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine wearing a comic-accurate suit.
Recently, Production Weekly revealed a short synopsis for the upcoming live-action ‘X-Men’ film.
The plot is as follows: “Charles Xavier’s team of merry mutants is charged with the mission of protecting a world that hates and fears them for their unusual appearances and abilities.”
There are rumors that Marvel wants their X-Men film to focus on female characters. They also want to introduce characters we haven’t seen in live-action yet, alongside the original members. It’s not clear how this will play out.
Back in 2023, during an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Feige was asked about what fans could expect from the X-Men in the MCU.
Feige replied, “It’s super exciting. But the X-Men are as solid, rich, and great a concept and characters as exist. There’s the return of the animated series [X-Men ’97’] next year, which we’re very excited about. I saw some new final episodes today, which really brought you back to the core of who the X-Men are and the soap opera that those characters represent. And then, in live action, people will see… perhaps, soon.”
With Deadpool & Wolverine, the X-Men are fully integrated into the MCU. Marvel Studios will reveal new information about upcoming projects in a major panel on August 9 at D23. We hope to see an X-Men announcement.
