X-Men (2015 film)

Uncanny X-Men (also known as The X-Men) is an upcoming American superhero film directed by David O. Russell, produced by Darren Aronofsky and written by David S. Goyer. The film is based off the comic book series of the same name and stars Terry O'Quinn, Chris Pine, Richard Armitage, Denise Boutte, Liam Neeson, and Jeremy Irons.

The film's development began in 2013 when David O. Russell expressed interest in remaking the X-Men franchise into something that will be "much more faithful to the comics." After David O. Russell announced that he will be directing the X-Men reboot, Darren Aronofsky joined as producer and David S. Goyer was hired to write the story as well as the screenplay. Development lasted for three years and filming took place in various locations such as Los Angeles, California, Chicago, Illinois, Columbus, Ohio and finally New York City, New York.

The film will reportedly lean closer to the Ultimate X-Men universe of the comic book series.
