Jake Schreier is giving an update on the much-anticipated X-Men reboot in the works at Marvel Studios .

In a new interview, the Thunderbolts* director teased working on the next generation of mutant heroes.

“I can’t say anything about it, but we’ve started work on X-Men, and that’s obviously very, very exciting,” he told Empire .

The filmmaker noted that working on Thunderbolts* was a learning experience, adding, “The biggest learning curve for me was the proportion of the action to the more emotional, character-driven scenes, and how, even though it’s more shooting days than I’ve ever had, they get eaten up quite quickly by the action stuff. By the time we got to the end of it, it felt like, ‘Oh, now I feel like we get how to do this a little bit better.’”
