Warning: This post contains potential spoilers for the upcoming X-Men reboot.
Marvel Studios’ X-Men movie was officially announced during the Disney D23 event, with the cast and release date set to be revealed five months after Avengers: Secret Wars. The film is set in the MCU and will reportedly be a coming-of-age story that follows a younger team as they grow over time.
According to a scooper, the X-Men movie will focus on Sadie Sink‘s Jean Grey and Kit Connor‘s Scott Summers against the backdrop of Mr. Sinister’s obsession with them. The plot is said to be inspired by a comic storyline in which Adam Driver‘s Sinister reveals that he had been manipulating Scott since childhood, after Scott was taken to an orphanage secretly controlled by Sinister.
The movie may also feature Magneto, Beast, Iceman, Angel, Storm, Rogue, Wolverine, Colossus, Havok, and Psylocke.
According to Deadline, Lee Pace, Henry Cavill, and Matt Smith are reportedly among the actors being considered to portray Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto.

Knight Edge Media reports that Cailee Spaeny is still speaking with Marvel Studios about joining the project in a smaller role, with the possibility of a larger role in future movies. While her character has not been revealed, fans are already fancasting her as Kitty Pryde.
The main premise is: “After years in hiding out of fear of rejection and persecution, the mutants would finally step out of the shadows to save the world and prove they’re not a threat.”
