Rumor: MCU’s X‑Men Reboot to Spotlight Cyclops and the Summers Family

Marvel has not confirmed details, with development led by director Jake Schreier alongside writer Michael Lesslie.

Overview

  • Commentator Kristian Harloff reports the Mutant Saga will prioritize Cyclops and the Summers family, with Wolverine not positioned as the primary focus.
  • Harloff later clarified that this emphasis pertains to the broader saga rather than specifically to Avengers: Doomsday.
  • Jake Schreier has said work on X‑Men has begun, and reporting indicates Michael Lesslie is writing, while casting and plot specifics remain unannounced.
  • Harloff also shares an unconfirmed claim that Avengers: Doomsday features three Earths colliding and gives rise to Battleworld ahead of Secret Wars.
  • Unverified threads continue to point to Mr. Sinister and Inferno‑style elements, reports suggest some Fox‑era X‑Men actors will appear in Doomsday to seed the reboot, and a May 5, 2028 release date is circulating without official confirmation.
