Houston, TX, August 15, 2026 —

Anaheim, CA – Marvel Studios used its presence at Disney’s D23 convention to reveal key casting and release details for its forthcoming “X-Men” reboot. Actor Adam Driver is set to embody the villainous Mister Sinister, and Inde Navarette has been cast as the mutant Rogue.

The “X-Men” reboot is slated for a theatrical release in May 2028. Further details regarding the film’s plot and supporting cast were not immediately available following the announcement at the D23 convention held in Anaheim, California.

The D23 convention, a biennial event for Disney enthusiasts, served as the venue for a range of major announcements across Disney’s various studios. Alongside the “X-Men” news, updates were also provided on upcoming “Star Wars” film projects and other initiatives under the Disney banner.

The casting of Adam Driver as Mister Sinister marks a significant addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s slate of characters. Mister Sinister, a geneticist with a focus on mutant powers, has been a prominent antagonist in the “X-Men” comic book lore.

Inde Navarette’s portrayal of Rogue, a character known for her ability to absorb the powers and memories of others through physical contact, also generated considerable attention. Rogue has been a central figure in many “X-Men” narratives.

The “X-Men” franchise, previously managed by 20th Century Fox, is now under the purview of Marvel Studios following Disney’s acquisition of the former studio. This reboot signifies the official integration of the X-Men into the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Additional information regarding the director, writers, and other cast members for the “X-Men” reboot is expected to be released closer to the film’s production start date.
