Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 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.

Marvel to have new Iron Man and Captain America, will bring new actors for ‘X-Men' film
Marvel is set to recast characters in its upcoming X-Men franchise and Tony Stark, a character that became synonymous with Robert Downey Jr in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Kevin Feige, chief of Marvel Studios, has confirmed that the company has decided to recast the actors following the events in the Avengers: Secret Wars, slated to release in December 2027. Many actors from the previous X-Men films, including Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, and Kelsey Grammer, are, however, reprising their roles in Avengers: Doomsday. It will release in 2026. 'We're utilizing that not just to round out the stories we've been telling post-Endgame (2019), just as importantly — and you can look 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 beginnings,' he told reporters, according to Variety. Feige said the MCU's first X-Men movie, to be directed by Thunderbolts director Jake Schreier, will be a 'reset,' not a 'reboot' of 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 said. He gave a reference of Amazon MGM's film producers searching for new actors to essay the role of James Bond and the recently released Superman, as he spoke of replacement. "Amy Pascal and David Heyman are now searching for a new James Bond. David (Corenswet), the new Superman — he was awesome. That will always be the case," he said. Feige mentioned actors Downey Jr and Chris Evans, who have retired from their MCU characters and said it becomes difficult to replace an actor who has done commendable work, but it's not impossible. Downey Jr's Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, dies at the end of Avengers: Endgame, while Captain America chooses retirement. 'I think it's hard for anybody to do that when an actor has done such a great role,' he said. 'How are they going to ever replace Sean Connery (as James Bond), right," he added.

Marvel Plans to Recast X-Men, Tony Stark after "Secret Wars"
Yara Sameh A new X-Men and an all-new Tony Stark are coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In a wide-ranging conversation with press on Saturday , Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige confirmed that the company will introduce a new cast for the mutants in its upcoming 'X-Men' movie, directed by Jake Schreier ('Thunderbolts*'), following the events of 2027's 'Avengers: Secret Wars,'. Many actors who starred in the 'X-Men' movies of the 2000s and 2010s are reprising those roles in 2026's 'Avengers: Doomsday,' including Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, and Kelsey Grammer. In future films, the X-Men characters who appeared in previous movies will be played by new actors, along with mutants making their big screen debut. The decision echoes changes in the composition of the Marvel comics following the 2015 'Secret Wars' storyline, which involved multiple timelines collapsing and re-converging, mixing up the characters of the main Marvel timeline in the process. 'We're utilizing that [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,' Feige said. ''Endgame,' literally, was about endings. 'Secret Wars' is about is about beginnings.' Feige, however, was also careful not to label the changes as a 'reboot,' instead, the executive said 'Secret Wars' will serve as a 'reset' for the MCU. 'Reboot is a scary word,' he said. 'Reboot can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. Reset, singular timeline — we're thinking along those lines.' Later, he added, ''X-Men' is where that will happen next.' Feige noted that the X-Men comics, with their focus on Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, naturally centered on stories about adolescent characters. 'They have been a place to tell stories about young people who feel different and who feel Other and who feel like they don't belong,' he said. 'That's the universal story of mutants, and that is where we're going.' Even more intriguingly, the executive also indicated that other Marvel characters will eventually be recast, including its most iconic roles, like Tony Stark and Steve Rogers. He pointed to many other major film franchises that have done the same thing, multiple times over. 'Amy Pascal and David Heyman are now searching for a new James Bond,' Feige noted, referring to the producers of Amazon MGM's upcoming Bond film. 'David [Corenswet], the new Superman — he was awesome. That will always be the case.' Feige acknowledged that stars who've retired their original MCU roles like Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans have made it difficult to imagine anyone else in their characters' shoes. But it isn't an impossible task. 'I think it's hard for anybody to do that when an actor has done such a great role,' he said. 'How are they going to ever replace Sean Connery [as James Bond], right?'. At least two legacy actors may still appear in the MCU, as well. Asked about his plans for a follow-up to Marvel's 2024 blockbuster 'Deadpool & Wolverine' with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, Feige, in typical fashion, made no definitive statements, but also did not close off any possibilities. 'I think there is more fun to be had with both of those characters,' he said. 'But we'll see where.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs
