- Marvel schedules the untitled X-Men movie for May 5, 2028.

- Marvel says more X-Men casting announcements are still to come.
When does Marvel Studios’ X-Men movie come out?
The confirmed theatrical release date is Friday, May 5, 2028. The countdown uses 05:00 UTC so every visitor sees the same reference moment. Actual first screenings can vary by country, time zone and cinema; local listings should take priority once tickets become available.
A Wednesday, May 3 opening is possible in France because major films commonly open there before their American Friday release. Marvel and Disney France have not separately confirmed that local date, so it is not used as the target for this page.
Why X-Men is the next countdown to follow
X-Men gives Avengers Countdown a destination beyond Doomsday and Secret Wars. The Sentinels shown in current Doomsday marketing make the mutant storyline especially relevant, but Marvel has not confirmed how those events connect to Jake Schreier's movie.
This page will keep confirmed release information separate from theories. New trailers, title announcements and cast additions can be added as Marvel publishes them, creating one permanent place to answer how long remains until the MCU's new X-Men arrive.
