Marvel Studios' X-Men reboot is slowly taking shape, with writer Michael Lesslie (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes) and director Jake Schreier (Thunderbolts*) set to bring a new team of mutants into the MCU.

Casting rumours persist, with Daniel Day-Lewis recently named as a possibility for Magneto and Bryan Cranston potentially in the running for Professor X. However, as the movie isn't expected to be released until 2028 at the earliest, it will be a while before the cast is officially revealed.

Today, we've learned that the reboot's production company is called "Atlas Hall Productions." This comes after the movie's working title was unearthed as "Chunnel."

A company like this being set up for an MCU movie isn't anything unusual; in the case of Avengers: Doomsday, for example, its production company is named "For All Time Productions." That's seemingly a nod to Loki and the TVA, both of which should be key to the story.

What significance does "Atlas Hall" have? The Agents of Atlas immediately come to mind, but it's unlikely that they'll factor into whatever Marvel Studios is planning for the X-Men. However, many fans have suggested that this could be a nod to Atlas Comics, the 1950s comic-book publishing label that evolved into Marvel Comics.

That marked the beginning of a new era for comic books, and the introduction of the X-Men in the MCU promises to be a similarly exciting fresh start for Marvel Studios.

Avengers: Secret Wars will be released on December 17, 2027, with the expectation being that X-Men could follow as soon as February 18, 2028 or May 5, 2028. This production company has also been registered in the UK, confirming that the bulk of shooting on X-Men will take place there.

The UK seems to be Marvel Studios' new go-to hub, as the next Avengers movies and Spider-Man: Brand New Day are based there, along with the upcoming Vision TV series.

It was recently reported that Kevin Feige has "told colleagues he has a 10-year plan for the [X-Men]." The team's future being mapped out like that is extremely exciting, and potentially even confirms reports about us seeing mutants in team-up projects, solo outings, and small screen spin-offs.

Addressing the X-Men's future in the MCU, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said last year, "I think you will see that continues in our next few movies with some X-Men players that you might recognize. Right after that, the whole story of Secret Wars really leads us into a new age of mutants and of the X-Men."

"Again, [it’s] one of those dreams come true. We finally have the X-Men back." Reading between the lines, it appears the "Mutant Saga" is very nearly upon us as we rocket to the end of the ongoing Multiverse Saga.

Stay tuned for updates on X-Men as we have them.

I'm going to keep saying it with the hope those involved will listen.

X-Men is the one Marvel/Disney property they should produce for film and television hand in hand. There's so many rich characters that will not get their due service in film format.

With their push for streaming they can easily use that platform more appropriately as it's only a corner of the MCU.

They can still be 'woke' if they want as the stories can easily lend itself to real world issues and find an audience from dam near everyone...the mutants are true GOLD.

I would say this is also the one properties that can be have alot of cast member from differing backgrounds for equal representation that doesn't need to swap races or gender to placate the extra woke mob and still be done as a faithful adaption.

Please don't [frick] this up Marvel. This can actually be the one that unifies fans.

@MakeAmericaGrea -

Man i hope they don't, but i will say, i won't be mad at the casting of Hunter Schaffer (who's openly and not closet-ly trans) as Mystique if that pans out.

hue66 - 6/2/2025, 11:06 AM

@Conquistador - - Been saying this for awhile. Maybe take the Inhumans approach starting in the theaters of course with a better story, budget and directing, then continue and branch the story telling over 2 years on the small screen leading to a cliffhanger into a bigger story in the theaters.

MakeAmericaGrea - 6/2/2025, 11:25 AM

@Conquistador -

Hunter isn't attractive or talented enough to play Mystique.

Get a woman with a really nice body and better acting chops than C/D list Hunter to play Mystique.

If Hunter was a biological woman almost no one would want him to play Mystique.

Mystique does not have a face and nose like that.

@Conquistador - nah be diverse but don't be woke. Woke is bad for biz. Just be the Uncanny Xmen and you'll serve everyone well. That doesn't mean you can't have some gay characters but don't pander and virtue signal your way thru runtimes over and over and over ad nauseum. No one has an issue with Xmen being diverse other than @MakeAmericaGayAgain

CorndogBurglar - 6/2/2025, 12:53 PM

@Conquistador - If they were to do film and TV for X-Men then it should be like this (in my opinion).

The show is called The Mutants. Or Children of the Atom. Or whatever. Its an anthology series where every episode focuses on a particular mutant living at the mansion.

Each episode introduces us to the character, shows their origin, and how ended up at the mansion.

So like, Cyclops' episode would be all about him and Havok parachuting from their parents' plane, their parents going missing, and Cyclops being placed in an orphanage and eventually recruited by Xavier.

Then, in the movies with Sinister, we can learn that Sinister ran that orphanage and thats how he knows about Cyclops and that he wants his DNA.

Then the movies should have a core team in every movie. Let's say Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm, Wolverine, and Beast.

But in every movie they can pull someone up that has already had an episode on The Mutants. So like, if the plot requires breaking into someplace and being sneaky, they grab Nightcrawler and Gambit. And we have them in that movie too.

Or if they need extra muscle they bring Rogue and Colossus.

The TV show already did the heavy lifting if introducing these extra characters so no time needs to be spent on that in the films.

It would be like the old Justice League Unlimited show, how they would bring another JL member with them each episode.

This way we get all the characters want to see one way or another. Either in the movies or the tv show.

@CorndogBurglar - Peronsally i feel like the formation of the team and Xaviar's origin, like A more fleshed out and contemporary version of the first class movie should be done in series format then the movie can be their first huge conflict they need to resolve, which for the movie going audience can be done in a way that doesn't need them to have watched the series but... going back to the series will certainly enrich the viewing experience giving the format more longevity

Marvel would be smart to cast nobodies who would be easier to lock into long term picture deals and birth the next generation of stars to be in both the movies and series.

Should series one and movie 1 be successful they can go any direction they want.

Anthology series, Exaclibur series, x force series, x-treme series, Movies focusing on certain characters, one shots, or special presentations etc, so many characters! And that's just with the mutants, they've got the larger mcu they can connect to.

WhatIfRickJames - 6/2/2025, 10:16 AM

If they get Daniel Day Lewis and Bryan Cranston...whoo boy

ObserverIO - 6/2/2025, 10:20 AM

@WhatIfRickJames - Daniel Day Lewis is one of the few people that could successfully bring a Stan Lee/John Buscema Silver Surfer to life. Never thought he'd ever be in a cbm though.

Conquistador - 6/2/2025, 10:20 AM

@WhatIfRickJames - I'm HIGHLY doubtful of DDL, but Cranston seems alot more plausible.

BUT, the fact Mags has been played by two actors of such high regard already, may give some credibility to them casting a niche net, and IF they get him, then woah! what a get, but you know for sure he's one and done, and that would be pretty shitty for that character.

Matchesz - 6/2/2025, 10:24 AM

@WhatIfRickJames - as fire as that’d be idk if i’d want a Daniel Day Lewis Xmen risking being cheapened by these new MCU writers. That being said having professor x actually be american like in the comic would be a welcome change

TheVisionary25 - 6/2/2025, 10:16 AM

That’s a cool Easter egg/reference if true!!.

No doubt imo that post SW that we will get a new-ish MCU…

I don’t expect us getting recasted versions of Tony ,Nat & Steve but the integration of the FF & mutants amongst others as they have always been here will certainly freshen things up to an extent.

SethBullock - 6/2/2025, 10:30 AM

Cranston and DDL are almost 70, I think they should cast younger actors for these roles, maybe in their 40s, with the X-Men team being much younger.

Anyways, I still think it's a huge mistake to bring back the Fox-Men before introducing the proper MCU X-Men, same way I think it was a mistake to use Krasinski for Reed in MoM if they were not going to cast him for the same role in FF First Steps, or that it was also a mistake to introduce villains like Osborn or Octopus from the old Spidey movies before the MCU versions of the same characters, for me all of this just ruined the MCU forever (that and the terrible writing of so many post- Endgame movies and shows).

Conquistador - 6/2/2025, 10:33 AM

@SethBullock - I won't be mad if they brought back Fassbender. If it weren't for his casting i don't think those first class series of movies would have been successful.

NGFB - 6/2/2025, 10:40 AM

New era, fresh start, soft reboot, hard reboot, reimagining. . . nobody cares. Just make good movies.

Shivermetimbers - 6/2/2025, 11:01 AM

There is absolutely ZERO chance of Daniel Day Lweis starring in an Xmen movie. One of the least believable rumors I have ever heard.

ModHaterSLADE - 6/2/2025, 12:25 PM

Cranston as Xavier would be awesome.
