Marvel Studios Rumored Plans for X-Men Villains Apocalypse and Mister Sinister in the MCU: What to Expect in the X-Men Reboot
Marvel Studios is rumored to have plans for X-Men villains Apocalypse and Mister Sinister in the MCU after Avengers: Secret Wars. The characters set to appear in the X-Men reboot have not been officially announced yet. Director Jake Schreier, known for Thunderbolts, will be helming the upcoming X-Men reboot.
According to scooper Daniel Richtman, Marvel Studios is reportedly focusing on Mr. Sinister and Apocalypse for the next saga, similar to the roles of Thanos and Doctor Doom in previous storylines. While the casting for these roles remains undisclosed, Marvel seems to have some actors in mind for the characters.
In addition to the villains, Ryan Reynolds is said to be working on a mutants team-up movie for the upcoming saga. The details about Marvel's X-Men reboot are scarce at this point, as the project is still in its early stages of development.
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige emphasized the importance of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters in telling stories about young individuals who feel different and isolated. This theme of mutants feeling like outsiders will be a central focus in the upcoming X-Men reboot, as stated by Feige and director Jake Schreier.
While Avengers: Secret Wars is scheduled for a 2027 release, Marvel is reportedly aiming for a 2028 debut for the X-Men reboot. The anticipation for the inclusion of Apocalypse and Mister Sinister in the MCU post-Secret Wars is building up among fans and followers of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
