In a recent announcement, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has revealed sweeping changes coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Following the events of the upcoming "Avengers: Doomsday" in 2026, the X-Men characters will be recast for a new "X-Men" movie directed by Jake Schreier.

While many of the original "X-Men" actors, including Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, and Kelsey Grammer, will reprise their roles in "Doomsday," future films will feature new performers in these iconic mutant parts. Feige explained that the "Secret Wars" storyline, set to unfold in 2027, will serve as a "reset" for the MCU, allowing for the introduction of fresh faces in other beloved superhero roles as well, such as Tony Stark and Steve Rogers.

He noted that the X-Men stories, with their focus on young people feeling like outsiders, align well with the MCU's future direction. Fans can expect to see a diverse new generation of mutants make their big-screen debut in the coming years as the Marvel universe expands and evolves.
