Kevin Feige addresses Adam Driver's 'X-Men' casting rumours

Kevin Feige finally broke his silence on Adam Driver’s X-Men casting rumours.

Setting the record very straight, the Marvel Boss admitted that the Ferrari star has yet to join the verse.

He confirmed that the 42-year-old keeps passing on the Marvel role. He even jokingly stated that working with Driver remained a “long lived tradition” of rejection.

“It’s no secret we’d like to [work with Driver],” Feige said in the Happy Sad Confused podcast. “But it’s a tradition to Zoom with him, and then he passes.”

“That’s a long-lived tradition,” he says of Driver repeatedly turning down their proposals.

Feige said that the Girls alum “couldn’t be more cordial” in his conversations about working with Marvel Studios, adding, “He’s usually upfront about how he is feeling.”

The rumours about Driver’ inclusion in the X-Men became rampant as filmmaker Jake Schreier is set to direct the reboot from a script being developed by Beef creator Lee Sung Jin and The Bear showrunner Joanna Calo.

Marvel is set to introduce a new generation of X-Men actors in the reboot after Avengers: Doomsday says goodbye to the actors who played the mutants across the Fox era.

Speculations have been circulating for weeks, with conflicting reports that the Star Wars: The Last Jedi actor is up for roles like Magneto, William Stryker, or Mister Sinister.
