Marvel says its time to recast the X-men, Tony Stark and Steve Rogers for their upcoming films
Superhero enthusiasts have their new avengers and their new Fantastic Four team, but they've yet to see or hear anything about the new X-men team until today.
Longtime Marvel film producer Kevin Feige admits that after the release of Avengers: Secret Wars, the company will recast their lovable mutants for newer X-Men movies. Exciting fans with the endless possibilities of X-Men content they can expect to enjoy across the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe over the next 5 years.
Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden and Kelsey Grammer will reprise their roles as the aforementioned 'X-men'one last time in the upcoming Secret Wars movie releasing next year. All before they pass the hypothetical torch to a new generation of actors and take their final bow at Marvel Studios. Longtime fans are beginning to realise that the cinematic reset may arrive sooner than expected.
'Endgame was, quite literally, about endings. Secret Wars is about beginnings,' Kevin Feige said, reassuring fans that what lies ahead marks the dawn of something new—and exciting.
But the announcements don't stop there. After 5 years of Marvel fans mourning the loss of actors Robert Downey Jr. as the witty Tony Stark and Chris Evans as the idealistic Steve Rogers, Marvel is finally ready to consider recasting new actors in these familiar roles.
So it's confirmed that Iron-Man and Captain America will return to film screens sometime soon, just not in the way everyone initially suspected. While it can be difficult for us to picture anyone else playing the part, Marvel has consistently proven to us that they are capable of making the impossible possible – in fiction and in reality.
Let's hope that whoever they end up choosing for these roles will be just as brave and daring as the heroes that came before them.
