Marvel Movie News: X-Men Reboot, Robert Downey Jr., Upcoming Movies, Blade, Deadpool

July 31, 2025
Casting will commence shortly, and Marvel is seeking younger talent and wants to stay away from 'A-Listers' for the new X-Men movie. Jake Schreier is set to direct an upcoming X-Men movie from a script penned by Michael Lesslie. This is to control costs, according to an agent. Marvel has scheduled a film for July 23, 2027, but sources say it is not the X-Men film.

Robert Downey Jr. will reprise his role as Doctor Doom for Avengers: Doomsday. This return comes with a significant price as Downey Jr. stands to earn $500 million to $600 million across seven Marvel films and three guest spots. He will not accept a reduced rate for Doomsday. Chris Hemsworth, returning as Thor, will also command a high salary. Marvel plans to release the film on December 18th, 2026.

The upcoming Marvel film set to release in theaters is Spider-Man: Brand New Day on July 31st, followed by Doomsday in December and Avengers: Secret Wars in December 2027.

Marvel is not rushing the Blade reboot or a new Deadpool film; however, there are discussions about a potential Black Panther 3 directed by Ryan Coogler.

I am glad to hear they plan to cast young unknowns for X-Men. I am beyond ready to move on from the entire Fox cast.

It's weirdly phrased and oddly mentioned. They are casting for THE X-Men movie.On an unrelated note, there's a film slated for July 23, 2027. It is NOT the X-Men movie.

Ah I see this now, so it's just a bad phrasing job, yes they are casting THE X-Men movie, but also there is a movie sceduled for 23rd of July 2027 which is a different movie and it's unknown.

Um first point is, So they are casting "X-Men movie" , but it's not "THE" X-Men movie, none of that even really makes sense, and sounds like some cyberjocky troll is just typing things to get a hit.

Marvel Studios is remaking the X-Men movie and will be looking for fresh faces, rather than actors we have seen before in major movies. Sources are saying Marvel has a movie scheduled for July 2027, but it's not the X-Men reboot.

Well Downey is already richer then Doom anyways, so this just makes him seem like a j-erk, I don't care how much you are paying him, but "he will not accept a reducded rate" wow...bro relax.

Should have cast someone who wasn't such a money hungry celeb, Who really should thank marvel for making him a career and getting him rich, honestly cast someone who isn't Tony Stark, and try to re-capture the glory days, spending more money then anyone can imagine on a marvel movie...

No, Can you let Black Panther rest, we don't need a 3, do you know how many potential characters could have movies Marvel Studios? Chadwick passes, and the last film was a nod and tribute, we don't need more, let it go.

I've been complaining about this for a while. They spend 300 million before shooting a scene due to the actor salaries. Now it needs to be a billion dollar theater run to be a success. The main issue for me though, is I don't picture super heroes as being in their late 40s to early 60s.
