Marvel's X-Men Reboot Lineup Reportedly Includes 7 Major Mutants, but Is Wolverine in It?

Rumors surrounding Marvel’s X-Men reboot claim the MCU could introduce a roster of seven major mutants, prompting renewed questions about whether Wolverine will be included. A post from industry scooper @ApocHorseman on X named Cyclops, Jean Grey, Emma Frost, Rogue, Storm, Professor X, and Magneto as characters that would “for sure” appear in the film. The same source indicated Beast and Angel were heard but not confirmed, and stressed the list is not necessarily complete. Marvel has not officially verified any of these reports. The project was first teased by Kevin Feige at San Diego Comic-Con in 2019, and Marvel began soliciting writer pitches in late 2023, hiring Michael Lesslie to write the screenplay. The article also notes Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine debuted in Deadpool & Wolverine, while multiverse appearances by Stewart and Grammer have already occurred.
