Marvel returned the Russo brothers for more Avengers projects while expanding the MCU with teams like the Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four, and X-Men. Jake Schreier, who directed Thunderbolts after work on Beef and Skeleton Crew, has begun work on the MCU's X-Men reboot. Schreier learned to balance action with emotional, character-driven scenes and to manage shooting days heavily consumed by action sequences. Thunderbolts provided practical experience with Marvel's expectations and cinematic language. The X-Men reboot is positioned as a pivotal project that could significantly reshape the MCU's future.
I can't say anything about it, but we've started work on X-Men, and that's obviously very, very exciting,
There are so many things that I didn't know about before I started [ Thunderbolts], he said. The biggest learning curve for me was the proportion of the action to the more emotional, character-driven scenes, and how, even though it's more shooting days than I've ever had, they get eaten up quite quickly by the action stuff. By the time we got to the end of it, it felt like, 'Oh, now I feel like we get how to do this a little bit better.'
