According to reports, Marvel Studios approached Ryan Coogler to direct X-Men restarts

Before Thunderbolts* director Jake Schreier Filmed at the top of the list of filmmakers to face Marvel’s X-Men film, a new relationship reveals that the study also had eyes on Black panther director Ryan Coogler At one point.

According to the veteran film journalist Jeff Sneider:

“I know they talked to Ryan Coogler at some point … but Coogler, with the times, you know, should have concentrated on Black Panther 3. It is necessary in another corner of the universe.”

Coogler is currently riding with his vampire thriller that bends the genre Sinnersthat is beating the box office records. But it is easy to understand why Marvel would consider it how it has shown that it can build complex characters, draw on rich cultural themes and give a show with the heart.

This is the type of balance that an X-Men and Schreier film needs will be able to deliver it. His work on the Netflix series Beef AND Thunderbolts* It was fantastic, and with Thunderbolts who marked an 88% approval evaluation on marci tomatoes from critics, it seems that Feige and the company are happy with what the director has delivered.

As for where the X-Men The restart is located creatively, Michael Lesslie (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes) was brought last May to write the first draft. But if Marvel’s history is an indication, wait for more writers to unite before the production starts.

President of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige He clarified that the return of the mutants is fundamental for the next chapter of the MCU. In a previous interview, he shared:

“… knowing that, thanks to various agreements of the company in the company, now we have thousands of characters – characters that I had not frankly thought for many years because we did not have the rights for them.

“Now that we do it, it’s very funny to think [about who we can finally use]. Our animated series X-Men ’97 was a kind of first taste of people who meet with X-Men mythology and the plot. The answer to that series has just excited us on how to bring the soap work and the saga of mutants to the MCU “.

There was also talk of a point of Jordan Peele taking the reins of a X-Men Project, but those discussions, according to reports, did not go far, since it focuses on telling original stories.

With the Multiverse saga that ends in a few years, the X-Men should be at the center of the scene in the future of the MCU. Feige “he told colleagues to have a 10-year-old plan” for the X-Men characters after they were introduced correctly and formally in the MCU.

It will be really interesting to see how the next X-Men film appears.
