Reynolds' Deadpool is expected to be the only iteration of the X-Men to make the jump to Disney, with Disney CEO Bob Iger having
confirmed multiple times that a popular, R-rated version of the character could exist at the studio.
But before it reboots the X-Men, Disney is inheriting two projects from Fox.
Dark Phoenix (June 7) will be the first X-Men movie marketed by the studio and comes from longtime X-Men producer Simon Kinberg, making his directorial debut.
The fate of the other film, writer-director Josh Boone's
New Mutants, remains in the hands of Disney execs, who will decide its future after seeing it.
New Mutants still has an Aug. 2 release date, but is said to be troubled. The idea of reshoots has been brought up, although the film could ultimately end up on a streaming platform, such as Disney+ or Hulu rather than a theatrical release.
