The Marvel Cinematic Universe is gearing up to conclude the Multiverse Saga while laying the groundwork for the franchise’s next chapter. As Marvel prepares to usher in a new era, several key roles in its upcoming 2028 X-Men movie has reportedly been cast.
Industry scooper @MyTimeToShineH shared the update on X, claiming that Marvel Studios has quietly attached three additional actors to the superhero team-up. The claim arrives just days after reports surfaced that Ben Wang is currently in talks to play Bobby Drake, better known as Iceman.
Marvel Studios has not issued an official response to the rumor, and no additional cast members have been formally announced beyond the initial lineup revealed at D23.
