Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on Sept. 10 that Asa Germann is in final talks or set to play Warren Worthington III, aka Angel, with The Hollywood Reporter leading the initial report and Deadline and others corroborating the news.
- Sources say Germann originally auditioned for Scott Summers/Cyclops before Marvel offered him the Angel role; Marvel and Disney declined to comment to reporting outlets.
- Jake Schreier is attached to direct the film, writers Lee Sung Jin and Joanna Calo are reported to be working on the script, Kevin Feige is producing, and the movie is scheduled for release on May 5, 2028 though principal photography has not been publicly scheduled.
- The casting fills out a growing young core that Marvel publicly unveiled at D23 — including Kit Connor as Cyclops, Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, Christopher Abbott as Professor X, Samara Weaving as Emma Frost, Inde Navarrette as Rogue, Maya Boyd as Storm, and Adam Driver as Mr. Sinister — while a few major roles remain unconfirmed.
- Angel is one of the original X‑Men with a long comic history that includes a later transformation into Archangel, and industry coverage notes that much reporting comes from trades and unnamed sources so studio confirmation on further casting and story direction is still pending.
