The ongoing speculation about which actors will join the new X-Men reboot film has reached one of the franchise’s veterans.

Speaking at New York Comic Con, Page was supportive of the idea of a completely new cast taking on the iconic roles. The actor confirmed he does not “really follow [the casting rumors]”, but immediately added, “[the fancasts] sound fantastic.”
Page expressed genuine excitement about the franchise moving forward with fresh talent and new ideas. “I mean, it’d be just so exciting to see people do a take on a new iteration [of X-Men],” the actor stated.
This sentiment echoes the idea that the X-Men reboot, which is reportedly set to launch the new “Mutant Saga” in May 2028, needs a clean creative slate.
While many legacy actors are rumored to return for the multiversal crossover films, Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, Page’s comments suggest that the core reboot should focus on developing a new, contemporary team to anchor the next era of the MCU.
