“Beef” creator Lee Sung Jin didn’t think twice before agreeing to work on the latest script for the upcoming “X-Men” reboot.

“No matter how much you got going on, you have to say yes,” he told me Wednesday night at the Season 2 premiere of “Beef” in Hollywood.

Jake Schreier, who has been tapped to reboot “X-Men” for the MCU, recently told Collider that Lee and Joanna Calo, “The Bear” co-showrunner and “Beef” creative, were taking a pass on the latest draft of the upcoming superhero adventure.
