X-Men are here. Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige has just announced the cast for the Marvel Studios X-Men film, releasing on May 5, 2028. Sadie Sink (Jean Grey), Kit Connor (Cyclops), Chris Abbott (Prof. X), Samara Weaving (Emma Frost), Inde Navarrette (Rogue), Maya Boyd (Storm), and Adam Driver as Mister Sinister round out the main cast. Sink will, of course, be playing Jean Grey for a second time, having debuted as the character in Spider-Man: Brand New Day last month. This ends months and, really, if we are being honest, years of speculation as to who would be in the film and which X-Men characters would be there. The film is being directed by Jake Schreier, who helmed the Thunderbolts film. Hopefully, you saw the news pop up in our very own Kaitlyn Booth's live blog, as she is in the room taking it all in.
