The X-Men franchise will have a new life within Marvel Studios and they are already looking for a director for the mutant movie
Since Disney acquired the rights to Fox, the fans are living in a very long wait to know the future of the X Men at the cinema. Marvel Studios already confirmed that during the MCU Phase 4 we would have a movie The Fantastic Four directed by jon watts, Director of Spider-Man: No Way Home. But what about the mutants? What will happen to one of the greatest superhero groups of all time? When are we going to see them?
Initially, the study Kevin Feig He warned that he had no short or medium term plans with the mutants on the big screen. After the end of the franchise on Fox, with the weak adaptation of the saga of dark phoenix, The X-Men I had to breathe for a while. Stay fallow, wait for your opportunity, leave considerable space for the new generations to join the UCM.
However, now that we have been in Phase 4 of Marvel Studios for a year and we have had a lot of cool news like Yelena Belova as Florence Pugh, Kate BishopHailee Steinfeld, Shang Chi (Simu Liu) and even the family The Eternals…Maybe it’s time to bring in the X-Men! Perhaps the time has come to start confirming projects, actors, directors and other cinematographic paraphernalia!
Which director will handle the new franchise?
Apparently, in the study chaired by Kevin Feige they already think like us. As reported in Mutants Update, they are already looking for a director to take charge of the project. No name has come out of the arena, but we would love for it to be Chloe Zhao. The filmmaker has already demonstrated in Eternals the ability it has to integrate a lot of emotionally sensitive and diverse characters in a pre-established universe. It would be ideal.
