Development

The film was confirmed to be in development in July 2023 without a director or any writers attached to develop the film. Goodwin announced he is being very picky in choosing a director and writer for this film and confirmed that the film would be set within the universe that 20th Century Fox created back in the early 2000s. In a interview in 2024, Goodwin stated the film would be similar to that of Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) and that it will be set in the Mob Cinematic Universe, but most of its events are from the original universe/timeline. In March 2024, Hugh Jackman announced he will portray Wolverine in at least three films in the Mob Cinematic Universe, but didn't confirm which films he will appear in. During a interview that was held in July 2024, Goodwin confirmed that film Adventures with Wolverine (2026) will feature a different actor portraying Wolverine.

Production on this film officially began in 2019, a year following the beginning of Deadpool & Wolverine's development began. The film was greenlit by Goodwin in 2020 and was given a release date of early 2024, but was removed from all release schedules a month afterwards. Goodwin was looking at Peyton Reed work and had a idea to have him direct the film, however decided the film wouldn't be a "successful film" based on the performance on Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023). By March 2021, it was confirmed that the film would feature more than one mutant and will open gateways for more characters to appear in the MCU. Goodwin later confirmed that this film is the "final 'big' film of the newer films" and confirmed that it will open the door to Avengers appearing in the film. In May 2021, James Mangold was approached to direct the film but he rejected the offer and instead decided he wanted to be a producer alongside Goodwin.
