New Mutants Includes Professor X; 2017 Filming Start Planned

However, the X-Men film franchise is far from being done, what with solo X-Men film sequels Wolverine 3 and Deadpool 2, as well as spinoffs Gambit and New Mutants, all being in various stages of development.

“Right now, as the movie exists, Professor X would be a part of a New Mutants movie.”

Furthermore, Kinberg said New Mutants is specifically targeting an early 2017 production start date.
