An X-Men film from Marvel Studios is something that fans have been hoping to see made for some time now. Currently, there are no casting or even crew decisions that have been made on a possible new X-Men film.
However, several actors have been floated around in rumors. This includes Giancarlo Esposito, who has openly said that he’d love to play Charles Xavier — Professor X — in the film.
While no live-action news is available as of yet, Marvel Studios is still showing love to the X-Men franchise. References to the X-Men in the MCU have come in the Disney+ series Ms. Marvel.
