Disney and Marvel announce new casting for their upcoming “X-Men” reboot with Adam Driver set to play the supervillain Mister Sinister and Inde Navarrette cast as Rogue. The news is reported in connection with Disney’s D23 event and Marvel Studios’ recent announcements about the project.
Multiple outlets note that the announcements come from Disney Entertainment’s D23 presentation, which also includes updates beyond Marvel. In the “X-Men” reboot news, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige is cited as presenting the new cast lineup. Alongside Driver and Navarrette, other roles mentioned across coverage include Christopher Abbott as Professor Charles Xavier and Maya Boyd as Storm.
The reporting aligns on the actors’ roles and the production’s broader context within D23, while differing in emphasis. Some outlets highlight the MCU “entrance” for Driver, others focus on the specific D23 timing and the parallel “Star Wars” announcements featured at the event. One source also states the film is scheduled for release in May 2028, though the core casting details are consistent across coverage.
