Jake Schreier may direct another super-squad Marvel movie.
Joe Maher/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty ImagesDeadline reports that Thunderbolts director Jake Schreier is currently being eyed to direct Marvel’s upcoming X-Men film, the natural next step for the mutants after planned upcoming appearances in Deadpool & Wolverine and Avengers: Doomsday.
Even Marvel’s next scheduled movie, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, is from a repeat director: Matt Shakman directed the acclaimed Disney+ series WandaVision previously.
Marvel has proven that bringing back proven directors creates successful stories.
If that’s what this movie will dwell on, then Schreier is absolutely the man for the job: he created an entire Marvel movie where the villain was just a giant symbol for depression.
