The casting comes after Marvel unveiled a big Hall H presentation at Comic-Con last weekend, introducing Ryan Gosling as Ghost Rider and revealing that "Alien: Romulus" actor David Jonsson will take over the mantle as the king of Wakanda in "Black Panther 3."
Weaving most recently appeared in "Ready or Not 2: Here I Come" and "Over Your Dead Body." Other credits include "The Babysitter," "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri," "Scream VI" and "Bill & Ted Face the Music."
"The X-Men" will be directed by Jake Schreier, who oversaw last year's "Thunderbolts," reported Variety.
The mutant heroes, at least the ones from the 20th Century Fox films, will be seen in 'Avengers: Doomsday' with the likes of Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart and James Marsden appearing in the gangs-all-here mashup.
Disney, which owns Marvel, acquired Fox in 2019 and with it the rights to integrate the Marvel heroes it had licensed to the studio into the MCU. (ANI)
