Marvel Boss Kevin Feige Confirms Who Will Direct the X-MEN Film Reboot — GeekTyrant
We have some fun films coming up as we move through the MCU's sixth phase, and one that fans are looking forward to is the reboot of X-Men . Little is known about the film, except that it will be the main focus after the events of Avengers: Secret Wars , which will hit theatres in December 2027.
Now we have a little more info on who will be behind the camera, bringing the film to life. Feige confirmed to Comic Book, while making the rounds for The Fantastic Four: First Steps , that Thunderbolts* director Jake Schreier will be helming the X-Men reboot.
Feige said, 'It's official, Jake Schreier is doing X-Men for us, and we're very, very lucky to have him and very excited to have him. And so we're beginning. It's all starting now. The script's underway.' The producer confirmed that the positive response to Thunderbolts* played a role in Schreier getting this gig, but his faith in the director extends beyond that.
He went on to add, 'Jake's an incredibly smart guy, and he's an incredibly talented filmmaker. We had a great experience with him on Thunderbolts* . And if you saw that movie, what he did with those character interactions, he also has his pulse on, shall we say, a younger demographic.
He's younger than me for sure, but he's tapped into that in a way that I think was important for Thunderbolts* , much more important for X-Men . Because X-Men , as it was in the comics, will be a very youth-oriented, focused and cast movie.'
I think this is a great match, and I can't wait to see what Schreier does with these beloved characters. Stay tuned for more updates.

Tyler, the Creator releases new album, 'Don't Tap the Glass'
Tyler, the Creator has been busy. The Los Angeles rapper early Monday released 'Don't Tap the Glass,' his second LP to drop in less than nine months. The new 10-track project closely follows 'Chromakopia,' which came out in October, just before Tyler's annual Camp Flog Gnaw festival at Dodger Stadium, where he performed songs from the album including 'Noid' and 'Sticky' and welcomed cameos by Sexyy Red, Doechii and ScHoolboy Q. In February, Tyler set out on a world tour behind 'Chromakopia' that touched down for a six-night stay at Arena and stopped last week in New York for shows at Madison Square Garden and the Barclays Center. According to album credits on Apple Music, 'Don't Tap the Glass' — which features no officially billed guest appearances — was produced by Tyler himself; the album has a funky, club-geared sound full of old-school stylistic touches. In a post on X, Tyler said the LP grew out of a conversation he had with friends about why they don't dance in public. His friends, he said, blamed 'the fear of being filmed.' He added: 'I thought damn, a natural form of expression and a certain connection they have with music is now a ghost. It made me wonder how much of our human spirit got killed because of the fear of being a meme.' 'This album was not made for sitting still,' Tyler wrote. 'Dancing driving running any type of movement is recommended to maybe understand the spirit of it.' Get notified when the biggest stories in Hollywood, culture and entertainment go live.
