US Edition‘X-Men’ Reboot Director Says ‘Beef’ Creator and ‘The Bear’ Writer Are ‘Working on a Draft’ of the Script: ‘We’re Still Developing’
Schreier reunited with the Beef and The Bear writers after Thunderbolts, as Marvel develops a younger mutant team for its first X-Men film.
- On Monday, director Jake Schreier announced he enlisted Beef creator Lee Sung Jin and The Bear co-showrunner Joanna Calo to write a new draft for the upcoming X-Men film, revealing the news during a Collider interview.
- Previous script drafts were written by Hunger Games screenwriter Michael Lesslie, who revised earlier versions by Aaron Rabin and Zach Dean before being replaced by the new creative team.
- The move reunites Schreier, Lee, and Calo after last year's Thunderbolts, where the trio proved their ability to balance action with character-driven storytelling on a Marvel film.
- Seeking to capture the comics' 'ideology' and 'interpersonal drama,' Schreier emphasized finding writers who understand how to drive these themes from personal stakes for an honest adaptation.
- The X-Men project remains in early development following Disney's 2019 acquisition of 21st Century Fox assets, which brought the mutants under Marvel Studios' creative control.
