Marvel Studios X-Men Reboot Casting Rumors: Adam Driver, Sabrina Carpenter

Entertainment outlets report that Marvel Studios is developing an MCU X‑Men reboot and that two high‑profile stars have entered the rumor mill. A Twitter post by the account MyTimeToShineHello, dated July 13, 2026, claims that Adam Driver has been cast as the unnamed villain in the project, though no specific character has been identified.

Separate reports indicate that pop‑star Sabrina Carpenter is being considered for a major mutant role, with speculation focusing on the White Queen Emma Frost or the musical superhero Dazzler. Neither casting has been confirmed by Marvel, and the studio’s usual secrecy means the information remains unverified. Kevin Feige has described the upcoming reboot as youth‑oriented, and speculation is expected to intensify ahead of the San Diego Comic‑Con event in late July.
