Disney reveals 'X-Men' cast, slate of sequels at D23 fan event
Adam Driver, Inde Navarrette and Sadie Sink will be among those joining the cast of Marvel's next "X-Men" movie, Disney announced at its biennial D23 fan gathering in California on Friday.
Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige took to the stage at Honda Center on the first night of the three-day convention to give more than 10,000 fans a sneak peek of the so-far untitled film, which is slated for a May 2028 release.
Sink will reprise her role in "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" as Jean Grey, while Navarrette will play Rogue. The cast also includes Kit Connor (Cyclops), Samara Weaving (Emma Frost), Christopher Abbott (Professor Xavier) and Maya Boyd (Storm).
Driver, who joined the event via video, will play the villain Nathaniel Milbury.
"Kevin and I have been talking for years about maybe joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And I think we finally found the perfect film at the perfect time," Driver said.
Feige also showed footage from "Avengers: Doomsday," set to be released in December, which will bring together the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, X-Men and Wakandan warriors in an epic clash against the evil Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr.
Another highlight was the first look at Ryan Gosling in Lucasfilm's "Star Wars: Starfighter," which will hit the big screen in 2027 to coincide with the 50th anniversary of "Star Wars."
- Sequels announced -
Disney CEO Josh D'Amaro, who took over in March, kickstarted this year's D23 event, which has become a platform for studios to showcase their latest projects alongside stars, creatives and directors.
Pixar offered previews of its Italian fable "Gatto" and supernatural tale "Ghost Market," as well as "The Incredibles 3" and "Coco 2."
Other sequels unveiled include "Lilo & Stitch 2," "Ice Age: Boiling Point" and "Frozen 3," promoted by stars Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel and Josh Gad.
"Everything's a sequel here," said attendee Gary Aurin, who came to D23 with his son.
"That's Disney, so you just gotta get used to it."
Director Jon Favreau took to the stage to introduce "Oswald the Lucky Rabbit," a mini-series to debut next year on the Disney+ platform.
The cartoon rabbit Oswald preceded Mickey Mouse and was created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks in 1927 for Universal Pictures. Disney acquired the rights to the character in 2006.
D23 will wrap up on Sunday.
