According to a Variety report, Feige said that the casting will be done for the upcoming X-Men film, set to be directed by Jake Schreier.
Many of the original X-Men actors are returning to their iconic roles, including Patrick Stewart (Charles Xavier),
(Magneto),
(Nightcrawler),
(Mystique),
(Cyclops), and Kelsey Grammer (Hank McCoy).
However, the characters will be played by others moving forward, the outlet stated.
The decision has been taken in view of the changes in the 'Secret Wars' comic storyline, which involved timelines collapsing, resulting in the epic mix-up of the characters in the process.
"We're utilising the story not just to round out the stories we've been telling post-'Endgame,' just as importantly -- and you can look at the at the 'Secret Wars' comics for where that takes you -- it very, very much sets us up for the future.
Endgame,' literally, was about endings. 'Secret Wars' is about is about beginnings," Feige said, according to Variety.
The Marvel boss though clarified that the changes are not any "reboot," but will serve as a reset for the MCU.
"Reboot is a scary word. Reboot can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. Reset, singular timeline -- we're thinking along those lines. X-Men is where that will happen next," he added.
Elsewhere during the conversation, Feige suggested that other Marvel characters will also be recast, including the beloved Iron Man and Captain America.

'Fantastic Four's Pedro Pascal hated his look in 'Wonder Woman 1984'; refuses to shave again
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Hollywood star Pedro Pascal has revealed that he was shell-shocked on watching himself in 'Wonder Woman 1984'. The reason behind the same? The actor hated his clean shaven look in the film. Pedro Pascal faced off against his 'Fantastic Four' co-star Vanessa Kirby for a video series, in which they were asked to debate which is sexier: Mustaches or beards, reports 'Variety'. Pedro has long rocked facial hair throughout his career, but there was one role that required him to go clean shaven. I grow such sh... facial hair As per 'Variety', that would be the villainous Maxwell Lord in "Wonder Woman 1984," Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot's superhero sequel that released in theaters and HBO Max simultaneously on Christmas Day 2020. He said during LADbible's 'Agree to Disagree', "I grow such shit facial hair, but if I were to shave it all off... I really look very [awful]. Strongly disagree with a clean shaven me. I was so appalled by the way I looked in 'Wonder Woman 1984.' I loved the movie, but I was so appalled by the way that I looked that I never have gone back. Unless it were completely necessary". He further mentioned, "If they asked me to clean shave for 'Fantastic Four' and insisted then I would've done it. But it was a very collaborative creation for all of our looks in the movie". by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Pascal rocks his trademark mustache as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic in the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe tentpole, a choice that has sparked a bit of backlash amongst superhero obsessives who are committed to the clean-shaven Reed from the comic books.
