News circulated this past week that Adam Driver was in talks to join Marvel Studios’ upcoming X-Men movie. We can confirm that Driver is indeed being eyed for the project, though not for any of the previously reported roles. Sources tell Nexus Point News that Driver is being considered to play a villain in X-Men and it is likely the iconic anti-mutant villain William Stryker.
Meanwhile, Tramell Tillman is set to make his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut as William Metzger in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, as we first reported. Sources tell us Tillman will reprise the role in the upcoming X-Men film, aligning with our earlier report that the actor signed a multi-project deal with Marvel Studios. The crossover is fitting, as Metzger is another character known for his hatred of mutants. Nexus Point News has reached out to Marvel Studios for comment.
