The appearance of Adamantium in “Captain America: Brave New World” and the subsequent references to Ms. Marvel and Namor as mutants strongly hints at the upcoming introduction of the X-Men in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, sparking whispers about potential actors for these iconic characters. Debuting in 1963 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, “The X-Men” is one of Marvel’s most influential series. Similar to the anticipation surrounding “The Fantastic Four: First Steps”, expect numerous rumors and speculation about casting choices for key X-Men roles before official announcements are made.
Based on information from Jeff Sneider (via Gizmodo), Marvel Studios is reportedly considering Harris Dickinson, Sadie Sink, and Julia Butters for the roles of Scott Summers/Cycops, Jean Grey, and Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat respectively. Harris Dickinson gained prominence in recent years with his performances in films like “Triangle of Sadness”, “The Iron Claw”, and the A24 thriller “Babygirl”. Sadie Sink is widely recognized for her portrayal of Max Mayfield on the popular Netflix series “Stranger Things“. Julia Butters, a young actress, first caught attention with her role in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” and later in Steven Spielberg’s “The Fabelmans”. She will soon appear alongside Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis in “Freakier Friday”.
Few facts are available regarding Marvel Studio’s future plans for the X-Men franchise, but it’s been confirmed that Michael Lesslie, a co-writer of ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes’, is currently working on writing the script for the upcoming X-Men film. Although an official release date has yet to be announced, speculations suggest that Marvel may launch the movie post-‘Avengers: Secret Wars’, marking the beginning of Phase 7 and a new era following The Multiverse Saga. There’s a possibility that the X-Men film could claim either the July 23 or November 5, 2027 release date reserved by Marvel Studios.
The X-Men Could Have a Major Role To Play in the MCU’s Next Phase
It’s important to note that these are merely rumors about Sadie Sink potentially playing Jean Grey, similar to how Vanessa Kirby was initially linked to Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman in Fantastic Four: First Steps. If these rumors hold true and Sink, Dickinson, and Butters are being considered for the X-Men, it seems the Marvel Cinematic Universe might be going for a younger version of the X-Men team. Interestingly, Dickinson, at 28 years old, is older than James Marsden was when he first portrayed Cyclops in 2000’s X-Men. On the other hand, Butters is still a child actor, which could imply that Marvel Studios is returning to the original concept of Kitty Pryde being a 14-year-old member of the X-Men.
It seems quite probable that some X-Men characters, such as Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Kitty Pryde, could make their way into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With actors like Cynthia Erivo (of “Wicked” fame) expressing interest in playing Storm and various names being tossed around for Wolverine, it’s likely we’ll hear more X-Men speculations soon. The X-Men could play a significant role in Marvel Studios’ future plans given their extensive roster, numerous comic book series, and the potential for them to spearhead their own Marvel narrative, theoretically. Casting the X-Men is anticipated to be as crucial as casting the Fantastic Four, if not even more so.
