'Thunderbolts*' Has One Specific Element That Proves Director Jake Schreier Is the Perfect Choice To Helm The Next 'X-Men'

Jake Schreier has delivered a bona fide hit for Marvel Studios with Thunderbolts*, and it looks like he might be taking his filmmaking talents to another iconic Marvel team. Recent reports say that Schreier is the top pick to direct the upcoming X-Men reboot, which will feature a screenplay from Michael Lesslie(The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes). This is probably the biggest news, other than Ryan Reynolds scripting a Deadpool/X-Men team-up, that's been revealed about the X-Men's role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — and it's genuinely exciting, because Schreier proved with his work on Thunderbolts* that he could perfectly capture the dynamic between the mutant heroes.
