'X-Men' Movie Casts Inde Navarrette as Rogue, Christopher Abbott as Prof. X, Adam Driver as Mr. Sinister and Maya Boyd as Storm

The MCU’s X-Men new team.

Marvel Studios exec Kevin Feige announced the inaugural members of the mutant team at D23 .

The cast includes Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, Kit Connor as Cyclops, Samara Weaving as Emma Frost, Inde Navarrette as Rogue, Christopher Abbott as Prof. X and Maya Boyd as Storm. Adam Driver will be playing the villainous Mr. Sinister.

The movie will release on May 5, 2028.

The X-Men haven’t assembled on screen since Fox’s 2019 film “Dark Phoenix,” which starred James McAvoy as Prof. Charles Xavier, Michael Fassbender as Magneto, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, Nicholas Hoult as Beast, Sophie Turner as Jean Grey, Tye Sheridan as Cyclops, Alexandra Shipp as Storm, Evan Peters as Quicksilver and Kodi Smit-McPhee as Nightcrawler. This younger cast of actors starred in several Fox prequel films, including “First Class,” “Days of Future Past” and “Apocalypse.” They took over from Fox’s original cast of “X-Men” trilogy stars, which included Patrick Stewart (Xavier), Ian McKellen (Magneto), James Marsden (Cyclops), Kelsey Grammer (Beast), Halle Berry (Storm), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), Famke Janssen (Jean Grey) and Rebecca Romijn (Mystique).

Some of the past “X-Men” stars returned in Marvel’s blockbuster “Deadpool & Wolverine,” starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. Channing Tatum debuted as the mutant Gambit, who will also be returning for “Doomsday.” Fox’s X-Men franchise ended anticlimactically with the 2020 spinoff “New Mutants,” starring Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Heaton and Maisie Williams. Now, the team will return for the first time in years as an official part of the MCU.
