The news cycle was naturally dominated by Superman In the past two weeks, we have thought that we would break things a little with a good old ” X-Men rumor of casting.
Now that the long -awaited restart of Marvel Studios has awarded a director to Jake Schreier (Thunderbolts *), the cast should start very soon (if not already the case), and we now have another name to add to the list of actors who were mentioned as part of the key role of Jean Gray.
On the episode of this week of The hot microJeff Sneider said that she could be in the mixture to play the powerful mutant, who was previously portrayed live by Famke Janssen in the original films of 20th Century Fox and Sophie Turner in X-Men: Apocalypse And Black phoenix.
Fanning’s recent projects include A complete stranger, all the brilliant placesand hulu The bigFor which she was nominated for the best actress – the musical or the comedy of television series in the Golden Globes 2021. Then she has a double role in Predator: Badlands.
During a recent appearance at the Mediterrane Film Festival in Malta, Schreier was invited to approach the restart and what he would do differently from the previous films of the era of the 20th century studios now disappeared.
“Even if I was confirmed on this film, I don’t think I would be allowed to answer this question” Schreier replied. “I guess what I would say is that it always starts from character and work with great writers and collaborators, and certainly think about how to do something different with any project you undertake. This is as much as I can say.”
It seems quite obvious that Schreier will eventually walk behind the camera, and we will probably have an official announcement at the SDCC this month.
Schreier has proven that he can acquire a story featuring a team of unsuitable characters (Thunderbolts * Perhaps underperform at the box office, but he was well received by fans and criticism), but he always seems to be a somewhat divisor choice for this project.
The tastes of Harris Dickinson, Margaret Qualley and Julia Butters would be on the studio radar (they would have been in the running to play Cyclops, Rogue and Kitty Pryde, but we do not know if it is always the case), as well as Alien: Romulus Star David Jonsson and Trinity Bliss, who can be online to play jubilee.
The other names that arose in the rumor mill include Hunter Schafer (mystical), Ayo Edebiri (Storm) and Javier Bardem (M. Sinister).
Here is what Kevin Feige had to say about his “10 -year plan” for the mutant saga in a recent interview.
“I think you will see that it continues in our next films with X-Men players that you could recognize. Just after that, the whole story of the secret wars really brings us to a new era of mutants and X-Men. Again, once again, [it’s] One of these dreams comes true. We finally have the X-Men. “”
Macbeth (2015), The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023) and Assassin’s Creed (2016) The scribe Michael Lesslie wrote the script, but we would not be surprised if another writer (or two) was brought to give him another pass before the film comes into production.
No release date has been set.
