The rumors are swirling that Marvel Studios is starting to cast the MCU’s X-Men, with the latest rumor offering Margaret Qualley is up to play Rogue.
The rumor comes via Jeff Sneider who says he doesn’t really know what’s going on – if the X-Men will appear in Avengers: Doomsday, Secret Wars, etc. – but Sneider references an article from EW.com that says Marvel is going to start to sprinkle the X-Men into the MCU. Kevin Feige has confirmed the new age of mutants will follow Secret Wars.
What did Jeff Sneider say about Rogue?
While Sneider doesn’t know specifically what Marvel has planned for the X-Men, he says that names have been surfacing regarding casting the team of mutants.
“Another name has surfaced on the X-Men front. Someone who just signed on to a Disney/20th Century Studios movie. Miss Margaret Qualley,” said Sneider.
Sneider continues and thinks Margaret Qualley, who recently starred in The Substance, is among the young Hollywood stars that Marvel is looking at for the X-Men.
Anna Paquin played Rogue in the X-Men movies, and Rogue is popular in the X-Men and X-Men ’97 animated series voiced by Lenore Zann.
Who is Margaret Qualley?
She’s currently 30-years old from Kalispell, Montana, and is also known for Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood, Maid, and starred in The Leftovers. She’s also starring in Netflix’s upcoming Happy Gilmore 2.
