With Spider-Man: Brand New Day behind us, and its reveal of Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, Marvel is finally ready to officially welcome the X-Men into the MCU. At the D23 event in Anaheim yesterday, the company revealed the cast for its upcoming, untitled X-Men film, which is scheduled to hit theaters on May 5th of 2028. Though, seeing as that’s quite far into the future, we wouldn’t be surprised if that date shifted slightly before then.
In addition to Sink, the film will star Kit Connor as Scott Summers (Cyclops), Christopher Abbott as Charles Xavier (Professor X), Samara Weaving as Emma Frost, Maya Boyd as Storm, and Inde Navarrette as Rogue. Navarrette is fresh off a potentially star-making turn in the surprise critical and commercial hit Obsession. The team will be facing off against Nathaniel Milbury, AKA Mister Sinister, played by Adam Driver.
The addition of the X-Men to the MCU has been highly anticipated and teased several times over the years, but it was only in the latest Spider-Man that the Marvel mutants were finally brought into the fold.
