Marvel’s ‘X-Men’ Reboot Gets the ‘Beef’ and ‘Thunderbolts’ Gang Back Together With New Writers

Marvel’s upcoming “X-Men” film is getting a rewrite, and it will be a “Beef” reunion. According to director Jake Schreier, “Beef” creator and writer Lee Sung Jin has been tapped alongside writer Joanna Calo to tackle a new draft of the script. Schreier previously worked with Calo on “Thunderbolts*,” which she wrote and he directed. Schreier was announced as director of the MCU’s “X-Men” film last summer, following the success of that film. The director revealed the news of the “X-Men” rewrite in a Monday interview with Collider, in support of the newest season of “Beef.” “We’re still developing,” he said of the current status of his next Marvel film. “You know, one of the exciting things that’s tying into ‘Beef’ is that Sonny [Lee Sung Jin] and Joanna [Calo] both worked on this season,” Schreier continued. “Obviously, I mean, ‘Beef’ is Sonny’s show, and Joanna worked on the season as well, and we worked together on Season 1 of ‘Beef’ and on ‘Thunderbolts*.’ They have come in and are working on a draft right now, which is really exciting to be able to put that group of people together again.”
