Ramsey joins a growing list of rumored names surrounding the reboot. Julia Butters has also been mentioned for Kitty, while other casting whispers include Bryan Cranston as Professor X, Daisy Edgar-Jones as Jean Grey, and Hunter Schafer as Mystique.

It's expected to land after Avengers: Doomsday , which will feature the return of Fox's legacy X-Men actors.
When asked about his approach, Schreier kept things vague but hinted at a character-driven vision: "Even if I were confirmed on that movie, I don't think I would be allowed to answer that question.
"I guess what I would say is that it always starts from character and working with great writers and collaborators, and certainly thinking about how to do something different with any project that you take on. That's as much as I can say."
