Marvel Studios' X‑Men reboot casting rumors focus on Adam Driver and Cooper Hoffman
Multiple industry sources are circulating unverified casting rumors for Marvel Studios' upcoming X‑Men reboot. A former scooper who previously linked Adam Driver to Magneto now says Driver is being considered for the villain Mister Sinister, while the role of Magneto remains undecided. Cooper Hoffman, the son of Philip Seymour Hoffman, is reported as the studio’s leading candidate for Cyclops. Other names tied to the project include Bill Skarsgård as a possible young Professor X, Cailee Spaeny in talks to play Rogue, Sadie Sink rumored for Jean Grey, and Ayo Edebiri suggested for Storm. The film is being developed by director Jake Schreier with writers Lee Sung Jin and Joanna Calo, and a cast announcement is expected at San Diego Comic‑Con. No official casting decisions have been confirmed by Marvel Studios, and the reports remain speculative.
