Hold onto your seats, Marvel fans, because the Multiverse Saga is about to get even more epic! But here’s where it gets controversial: Marvel Studios is reportedly gearing up for not just one, but two X-Men projects, and the internet is buzzing with speculation. With Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars already on the horizon, Marvel is clearly pulling out all the stops to ensure the next saga starts with a bang. And this is the part most people miss—while everyone’s eyes are on the Avengers, a quieter but equally exciting development is brewing in the background.
Though nothing’s official yet, the new saga, kicking off in 2028, is rumored to begin with Jake Schreier’s X-Men reboot and Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther 3. But that’s not all—a Fantastic Four sequel and a potential Midnight Sons team-up film are also in the mix. As fans eagerly await more details, a new contender has emerged for the spotlight: an X-Force project, according to industry insider Daniel Richtman. Bold move, right? But is this a fresh idea, or could it be tied to Ryan Reynolds’ earlier plans for an ensemble film featuring Deadpool, Wolverine, Cable, and a new Storm? The lines are blurring, and fans are divided.
Let’s rewind for a moment. Back in May 2025, THR reported that Reynolds was “working on various treatments for an ensemble film featuring three or four X-Men characters.” Soon after, whispers surfaced that this project was actually an X-Force film, reuniting Reynolds’ Deadpool with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, Josh Brolin’s Cable, and a new actress as Storm. Richtman’s latest report doesn’t confirm this connection, but it’s hard not to wonder if these projects are one and the same. And this is where it gets even more intriguing: If true, how will Marvel balance the gritty tone of X-Force with the broader MCU? Will it stay true to the comics, or take a bold new direction?
For beginners, X-Force is essentially the edgier, more tactical counterpart to the X-Men, often dealing with darker missions and moral gray areas. Pairing this with the MCU’s family-friendly vibe could be a game-changer—or a recipe for controversy. What do you think? Is Marvel biting off more than it can chew, or is this the perfect way to expand the universe? Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned as we unravel more of this multiversal mystery!
