According to producer Simon Kinberg, Charles Xavier will be in the planned New Mutants movie if and when it hits the big screen.
Speaking to Collider[2], Kinberg -- who wrote and produced X-Men: Apocalypse -- said, "Right now, as the movie exists, Professor X would be a part of a New Mutants movie." He also he hopes New Mutants will begin shooting in early 2017.
It's unclear how many characters from the previous X-Men movies may have roles in New Mutants, or whether James McAvoy will be reprising his role as Professor X in the movie.
This lines up with what Kinberg recently told ComingSoon.net[3]. When asked about the follow-up to X-Men: Apocalypse, Kinberg said, "The next one is set in the '90s." Considering when New Mutants begins filming, it seems likely he's referring to that film.
Created by Chris Claremont and Bob McLeod, The New Mutants[4] debuted in 1982. Professor X was in charge of teaching and guiding them, and eventually Magneto also took that role.
Given that Apocalypse, which is set in the '80s, introduces young Jean Grey, Cyclops, Storm, Jubilee and Nightcrawler, it's easy to see how New Mutants movie could fit into the X-Men timeline. Meanwhile new characters will seemingly join the series[5], as Maisie Williams was reportedly courted to play Wolfsbane and Anya Taylor-Joy might be playing Magik.
When IGN spoke to Kinberg recently[6], he said of New Mutants, "Traditionally, the New Mutants have some characters that cross over from the mainline X-Men movies. As we are going, I would say it's likely that you will see some familiar faces."
He added that the movie will have "more of a YA [Young Adult] vibe to it."
X-Men: Apocalypse[7] hits theaters on May 27, 2016. Also on the horizon is Wolverine 3, which will be rated R[8] and be "like a western in its tone." The as-yet-untitled movie will be released on March 3, 2017.
