MCU X-Men Movie Gets a Release Date

The timeline for the introduction of the new mutant team into the Marvel Cinematic Universe is becoming clearer. The highly anticipated X-Men reboot film is reportedly scheduled for a theatrical release on May 5, 2028.

This film is poised to be a monumental turning point for the MCU. It is expected to be the first Marvel Studios film released after Avengers: Secret Wars, and is slated to mark the beginning of the “Mutant Saga” within the shared universe.

The New Saga and New Leadership

The reboot is reportedly being directed by Jake Schreier, known for his work on Thunderbolts*. Placing the X-Men film immediately after the conclusion of the Multiverse Saga with Avengers: Secret Wars highlights its importance; the film will essentially launch the next overarching narrative for the entire MCU.

Following the multiversal chaos that will undoubtedly conclude Secret Wars, the introduction of the X-Men will bring a renewed focus to Earth-based threats and the complex social dynamics surrounding mutantkind.

The confirmed release date in May 2028 is a classic, high-stakes summer slot for Marvel, demonstrating the studio’s confidence in the future of the beloved franchise.

Fans are now eager to see how the new film will differentiate itself from previous iterations and what role the original legacy characters will play in ushering in the next generation of mutants.

With the X-Men reboot now positioned as the film to launch the next era of the MCU, what major storyline do you predict the new “Mutant Saga” will explore?
