Get ready to have your mind blown! Marvel Studios is setting the stage for a game-changing reboot of the X-Men, and guess what? A brand-new Tony Stark is on the horizon too!

In a recent press conference, Marvel chief Kevin Feige laid out an exhilarating roadmap for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Following the epic showdown of 2027’s “Avengers: Secret Wars,” Marvel is prepping to recast some of its most beloved characters, starting with the super-powered mutants in the upcoming “X-Men” movie, directed by Jake Schreier of “Thunderbolts” fame.

For fans of the classic X-Men, there’s a glimmer of nostalgia on the horizon. Many iconic actors from the early 2000s and 2010s X-Men films, including Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), and Rebecca Romijn (Mystique), will reprise their roles in 2026’s “Avengers: Doomsday.” Stewart, who recently returned as Xavier in 2022’s “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” and Kelsey Grammer, seen as Hank McCoy in a post-credits scene in 2023’s “The Marvels,” are just a few names that will ring a bell.

But hold on tight — the future doesn’t just look familiar; it’s about to get a radical makeover! Feige shared that while legacy characters will return, they will eventually be portrayed by new actors, paving the way for fresh stories and mutants making their screen debuts. This shift mirrors the changes in Marvel comics after the climactic 2015 “Secret Wars” storyline, a narrative twist that intertwined various timelines and redefined character arcs.

Feige emphasized that this isn’t merely a “reboot” — which can send shivers down fans' spines. Instead, he described “Secret Wars” as a “reset” for the MCU, laying the groundwork for new beginnings after the epic finale of “Endgame.” “Endgame,” he explained, was all about endings, while “Secret Wars” is focused on fresh starts.

He elaborated on the significance of the X-Men comics, highlighting their core themes of adolescence and inclusivity. “They’re a place to share stories about young people who feel different and out of place,” Feige noted. “That’s a universal sentiment, and it’s exactly where we’re headed.”

But wait, there’s more! Feige revealed that other iconic Marvel characters, including Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, will also be recast in the future. This move aligns with industry trends, as seen with franchises like James Bond and Superman, which have successfully introduced new talent.

He maintained that while it’s tough to imagine these characters without the original actors, it’s certainly not impossible. “When someone nails a role so perfectly, it’s hard to picture anyone else in that role,” he remarked, referencing the challenges of replacing legends like Sean Connery.

As for the beloved duo of Deadpool and Wolverine, Feige teased that more adventures might be on the way, although he kept fans guessing without confirming any details. “I think there’s more fun to be had with both those characters,” he hinted.
