Variety reports that the company wants to cast younger talent for the new X-Men as part of a way to “keep the cost down,” according to an agent.
Casting is reportedly set to begin soon, with Marvel calling on reps, with the field “wide open.”
It was already previously revealed that the X-Men would be recast for an upcoming movie directed by Jake Schreier, who recently helmed Thunderbolts*. There are also set to be new mutants making their film debut!
The decision follows changes in 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.
If you forgot, Avengers: Secret Wars will come out after Avengers: Doomsday.
