Thunderbolts* director Jake Schreier is in talks to return to Marvel to direct the X-Men reboot. After Thunderbolts* garnered some of the best reviews for Marvel in quite a few years, sources confirm that Schreier is engaged in early talks for the X-Men gig.

Although the X-Men haven’t had their own movie since Dark Phoenix in 2019, Marvel Studios has reportedly decided on the director it wants to bring the mutant heroes back to the big screen.

Screenwriter Michael Lesslie, who recent credits include “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes,” penned the screenplay with Kevin Feige on board to produce the newest “X-Men” entry. No other details about the film, including the cast or plot description, have been revealed.
