The wheels are turning on Marvel's upcoming X-Men movie, with Thunderbolts' Jake Schreier reportedly now the "top choice" to helm the mutants' MCU debut.

According to Deadline, Schreier held a meeting with Marvel Studios in the past week and is now the number one pick to direct X-Men. Currently, only a script – penned by The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes co-writer Michael Lesslie – is being worked on, with no casting or release date announcements forthcoming.
