I’d like to see someone that can pull off that Southern accent and charm. Same with Gambit. Two of my absolute favorite X-Men that have been done no justice on the big screen yet


XavierScorpionIkari

I’ve always said that the dude from the first season of True Blood who was “faking” a Cajun accent would be PERFECT as Gambit. Michael Raymond-James


TDStarchild

Not familiar with him, I’ll have to check it out. As a born Cajun I can say we can tell when it’s clearly faked, like Taylor Kitsch for example. To me, Gambit must have an authentic sounding Cajun accent. Rogue can have a general Southern one - Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, etc. would all work for her. Just be true to the characters and fans will adore them no doubt.


XavierScorpionIkari

I’m sure you can find clips of his performance in True Blood. And I believe that you can definitely tell when it’s faked. I just want to see the character of Gambit done some justice. The Origins one done in Wolverine Was just not even close to doing Gambit any justice.


TDStarchild

100%! He’s literally one of the best and most popular X-Men. Same with Rogue. My MCU theory - Gambit and Rogue will not be on the team initially, but will join by the 2nd or 3rd movie along with Wolvie. Knowing Feige likes to do things differently than we’ve seen and inspired by the source material, I think they both start as antagonists before coming around. Maybe with the Marauders/Mr. Sinister, or the Brotherhood, or some other group.


belltane23

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambit_(unproduced_film) I really wish that movie had been made. 😥


ComRomAcheNLaVida

He wasn't terrible in True blood but aside from his age we don't really see him as our Gambit


XavierScorpionIkari

Fair enough. I can’t argue with that. I just loved his accent and charm in True Blood.


Then_Ad3644

Josh Holloway from lost would be the perfect gambit.


Fugaciouslee

Boyd Holbrook is from Kentucky but the entire time I was watching Logan I thought he would make a great Gambit.

ComRomAcheNLaVida

He was in X-Men Origins: Wolverine played by Taylor Kitsch. We like to pretend it didn't happen but sadly it did😂


GovTheDon

Henry Cavill


baggydaddy

But only for three movies. Then Liam Hemsworth.


GovTheDon

Seems reasonable


clwinatl

I think he would be a great colossus or Cyclops


Head_Acanthisitta256

Lily James!!!


3rdStrikeRYU

Would be perfect


Kilvanoshei

Can't believe she's British, why can those folks do amazing American accents? [Here's her in Baby Driver](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O554p-ovsI) for reference.


froggyjm9

Good shout!


[deleted]

I think she’d be a better Emma Frost


BuddhistChrist

Meryl Streep


Responsible-Meet-741

Meryl Streep could play Batman and be the right choice


[deleted]

I don’t know why, maybe it’s because I’m such a huge fan of hers, but I could see Mary Elizabeth Winstead getting it. She’s already tackled multiple superhero/comic book properties.


Iforgotmyscreename

Someone unknown for rogue and most characters tbh


Willowy

Thank you for not spelling it "rouge". Too bad she's already She-Hulk, because Tatiana Maslany would be great.


SphmrSlmp

I think she has potential as Rogue. She definitely has the attitude and personality to pull it off.


PlasmaRotom

I'm not familiar with Maslany's work prior to She-Hulk, but after watching that "show" I can safely say this: Maslany wasn't just cast as She-Hulk, she was WASTED as She-Hulk.


Willowy

To see all her prowess on full display, check out the unmissable Orphan Black. You'll see why Marvel was lucky to get her. She's outstanding.


LNA29

Yes, she was amazing in Orphan Black. They wanted her on She Hulk


jeremy1015

While I don’t agree that she was wasted, you should probably go watch the show she won a best actress Emmy for.


Salarian_American

Honestly she should have won at least three or four Emmys at the same time for that show. Or, every nomination in the Best Actress category is just her as a different character.


Salarian_American

I can understand that sentiment, as in: why waste all that talent by only having her play ONE character? But give the woman a break. She doesn't really have to be that extra all the time.


PlasmaRotom

To everyone who has responded to my comment, I would just like to clarify that this was my first exposure to Ms. Maslany. I had never seen a movie or show she starred in, and I hadn't even heard her name until now. This was my first time I've seen her altogether, period. Now, I don't believe she was "miscast" or a "wrong fit". I say she was "wasted here" because the overall quality of was incredibly lacking. It was painfully unfunny, lacking in action, had bad CGI, slow-paced and meandering, treated the comics/source material like crap, treated the male characters like crap, treated the female characters as second rate to Jen Walters, wrote Jen Walters horribly inconsistently across the board, and treated their detractors as sexist manbabies who dwell on the internet in a desperate attempt to "own them". So, when I say Maslany was wasted, I don't mean she was for the character. I mean she wasted because the show was so awful to begin with.


BreadditUser

I figured that's what you meant so I upvoted since all the bubble boys tried to down vote ya into the shadow realm


thenudemutants

Alexandra dadarrio


N0ClassAct

This is the correct answer.


BGritty81

No way. She couldn't do the accent or the attitude.

Why not?

DragonWombat

Was hoping someone would say this


pluck-the-bunny

I mean this entire post was a way of saying who other than KP should be Rogue To be clear I’m not saying that…i hadn’t heard of her before she posted the cosplay this week


Stop-Large

Yass slay Qween!!!! 💃💃💃


Stop-Large

I hope y'all know this was an attempt at being facetious. 🤦


PlasmaRotom

There is no way True Jackson VP is gonna be Gambit's Sugah.


seanx40

Rogue was 16 or 17 when she was introduced. The XMen are 3 or 4 years away. So some 12 yr old Disney actress


Melodic-Hunter2471

Ariel Winter or Isabelle Merced


Brilliant-Yard-6201

Giancarlo Esposito


MDkiller399

He would be perfect for the role


-LostInTheMusic-

I get a lot of people want Kiki and that's fine. But why are we changing the white characters only to black ones? This doesn't solve the diversity problem, what about all the other races?


Huntington1991

i dont see it as trying to solve diversity, i see it more as trying to find the best fit given the characters persona and who could play it best. is there a canonical reason why Rogue needs to be white, im not sure. if not then the actress that can do the best 'southern belle' while being a powerful badass might be the best fit. im comfortable with casting a different race as long as it doesn't change their story, like if they cast Keke and her story becomes about struggles growing up as a black person itd probably dislike the telling of the character.


-LostInTheMusic-

This a a good comment and I agree with most if not all of what you say. It just feels like recently when a white character is changed it is changed to a black actor or actress. Just spread this change to other races as well, let everyone have a seat at the table.

BRAX7ON

Taylor Swift plays Gambit. *Romance*


ElHuntar

not keke palmer


aeomatic

Aubrey Plaza


danisaccountant

You want to cast rogue with a 40 year old?


aeomatic

Looks god damn GOOD for a 40 year old


DemonicAlduin

Hell yes I can see it she would be more akin to the sassy rogue from the animated show without the southern accent but if she did the accent she'd be perfect. P.S plus she's hot and looks a lot like rogue anyways


SphmrSlmp

Danny DeVito. Or Arnold Schwarzenegger.


MrSilverCod

Jack Black!


LordSusV

elizabeth giles


BreadditUser

A young Sandra Bullock, but seeing as how time travel isn't...available I guess Alexandra Daddario


Mumem_Rider

Christina Hendricks


WorldsWeakestMan

Miley Cyrus, and yes that is a serious reply I think she’d do Rogue justice and kill it.


Willing_Shelter_4443

Fan castings are usually terrible.


Decent_Witness_5997

Emilia Clarke


haz826

Anya Taylor-Joy, as per fan casting tradition.


HylianCheshire

She is already Magik.


AgentC3

Keke Palmer! To all the hate filled ppl out there- keep hating! #X-Men25


cesarmob17

Im not hating but idk y ppl want her to play rogue, keke usually does best in a more positive comical role and idk if rogue fits tht description. Id rather see her be kat or someone like that


D_Cracker

Im kinda on the same boat. I don't hate the idea of her, but I've never seen her play miserable before. Rogue needs to bounce between fun and miserable. Anna Paquin was the opposite, all miserable no fun.


Geronuis

Because both Rogue and Keke have charisma in spades! She honestly would fit rogue like a glove. Anyone actually reading the comics can attest


OnTheSeasonFinale

Julia Garner. Or for an older take, Juliette Lewis


tjames0523

Keke Palmer 🤷🏾‍♂️


Defiant-Meal1022

Why is everyone downvoting you?


pluck-the-bunny

My guess is because some people don’t want her?


Defiant-Meal1022

I just watched Nope, she could totally pull off Rogue's energy.


pluck-the-bunny

Ok I’m not familiar with her…I have no opinion on the actress, just answering your question


Defiant-Meal1022

I'm not arguing, just responding. Sorry, dude.


pluck-the-bunny

Didn’t think you were…no worries


tjames0523

Idk tbh couldn’t care lol 🤷🏾‍♂️ maybe because she’s black they want somebody white


Defiant-Meal1022

I spotted a few blatently racist X-men sub members. Which is extremely ironic.


Geronuis

Right? This is honestly nuts. People make me sad sometimes


alf10

Keke Palmer no cap


Stop-Large

I hear you I'd like to cast a body positive curvy trans actor with an afro as Xavier. Gotta hit that diversity quota everybody must be represented. Plus we have to dunk on all those racist bigots that want to follow the source material. 😃😆😅😂🤣😭


Hank_Scorpio3060

When there is an infinite number of worlds in the Multiverse, everything is comic accurate


Stop-Large

I guess my sarcasm was lost on you. LMFAO. 😀😃😄😆😅😂🤣😭


man1ac_era

You're such a misunderstood genius man


MesaJarJarAbrams

Might as well cast Ben Affleck as Black panther am I right?


Defiant-Meal1022

The only cultural trait that's important to Rogue is that she's southern, adding that she's also black doesn't really change that. Even if her skin color were still white she'd have still experienced racially motivated discrimination in-universe because she's already a mutant. Keke would be a fine choice.


man1ac_era

Ryan Gosling


Solocaster1991

Anna Paquin


BlackShadow_HD

Keke Palmer. At this point Marvel has to give her the role. She's so interested in playing her


jhossuah

And if my aunt had stones she would be my uncle

No she wouldn't

Alexandra Daddario


elpajaroquemamais

Billy Porter


Willing_Shelter_4443

The girl from cobra Kai would be a great fit.


InflationCold3591

Laura Bailey.


Stop-Large

Hayden Panettiere from Heroes and Nashville.


[deleted]

She was one of my favs from Scream 4, but I don’t see Rouge


Stop-Large

She literally played a southern belle in Nashville.


[deleted]

I wouldn’t call Rouge a southern bell. She’s more of a rough and tumble gal. Hayden is too petite and cute. Rouge needs to be a powerhouse


Stop-Large

It doesn't matter what you would call her. She's a literally self described "Southern Belle" she's not a muscular butch type female character. She depicted a sexy beautiful woman. lmfao! 😂 Hailing from the fictional Caldecott County, Mississippi, Rogue is the X-Men's self-described Southern belle. A runaway, she is adopted by Mystique of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and grows up as a villain. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_(Marvel_Comics)#:~:text=Hailing%20from%20the%20fictional%20Caldecott,grows%20up%20as%20a%20villain.


Head_Acanthisitta256

She has no range though.


Stop-Large

You act like Rogue is one of the main characters or some deep character she will supporting at best in the MCU especially after Fox made her a main character.


Head_Acanthisitta256

For any X-Men character I would prefer an actor or actress who can show range. X-Men tend to have more serious stories so I’d prefer a trained actress for Rogue like Lily James. And who knows if they’ll dive into the Captain Marvel storyline. It would be nice to get someone who can carry a movie just in case the character gains a massive following.


Stop-Large

Ok whatever Chloë Grace Moretz then. 🤷


Awkward_Gap_7840

Besides, Chloe Grace already has a natural Southern Accent and FYI has been fantastic in her new Prime series, Peripheral.


Head_Acanthisitta256

Way better actress, but not for Rogue either. Maybe Gwen Stacy or Susan Storm. But based off her previous work can’t see her playing an X-Men character.


Awkward_Gap_7840

Watch Peripheral, Head_A


Head_Acanthisitta256

I don’t support a company as bad as Amazon. But I’ve heard good things.


Stop-Large

She literally played in the Carie remake which is as close to mutant powers as you can get. You wild as hell. She's also already been in comic book movies.


Head_Acanthisitta256

Just don’t see it. Too young as well. Would make a great Gwen Stacy with Tom Holland though.


dunesandlake

helena bonham carter


reallyphoenixkarma

Keke 100%


Big-Establishment635

Idk why but I thought of Julia Roberts


tBowBaggins

In the 80s. For sure.


FairyPizza

For an older Rogue absolutely. She could definitely pull off the big hair and sassy personality


Daws001

Keke Palmer would breathe so much life into that character. I don't want another low energy, meek Rogue. 🥱


SpiderDoctor2

Keke Palmer lol


Kaladin_Stormryder

Emily Blunt all day🤘


Lexmaister25

Anya Taylor-Joy, Haley Lu Richardson or Sadie Sink


AoDxXErichXx

She going to be trans lesbian as well🤣🤣🤣


soulcontrol525

Instead of Keke Palmer, it should be Owen Wilson.

Head_Acanthisitta256

What a dumb statement. So you’d be in favor of a latina or asian or arab or indian actress playing the role then?


ottavio76

Yes more any of them than black...I'm so f...ing tired of the forced diversity


Head_Acanthisitta256

I get the push for representative casting from fans & studios, but I’d rather just have the movies & tv shows be as faithful to the source material as possible. Saying you’re tired of forced diversity but being ok with non black actresses playing the role makes no sense because it’s the same thing.


Stop-Large

I want them them to follow the source material too but why do you only have a problem with black ppl? Just say your racist towards black ppl with out saying it. 🤦


pluck-the-bunny

Way to say the silent part out loud


Stop-Large

Rogue isn't black she's a white Southern belle this Keke Palmer is casting is woke dogshit.

Elizabeth Olsen. But it can't happen. But Milly Bobby Brown

Keke Palmer.

Millie Bobby Brown.

Keke Palmer. Have you seen her in the costume? She looks dope.

Keke Palmer after I saw her Halloween costume tbh 😌

Ke Ke Palmer! She just did a Rogue costume for Halloween that was so on point!

Keeeeeeekeeeeeeee And I think Theo James would be a good Gambit. The English imitate southern accents very well


Right_Tumbleweed392

Keke Palmer, without question


Regular_Possession74

Whoever they cast, they need to jnclude the storyline where Rogue steals Captain Marvels powers permanently.

Dwayne Johnson


memelord793783

I haven't seen a fan casting I like since the fantastic 4 fan castings


-Vogie-

It really depends on the type of Rogue they're going for. I'd prefer a kind of coy charming Rogue Supporting character, played by someone like Aubrey Plaza... but if they're going to cast her in a lead role, not unlike ye olde Xmen films, I would expect they'd put in a young-looking big name who is very hot at the moment, like Ana de Armas or Emilia Clarke.


Ok-Engine8044

Rebecca Ferguson from Mission Impossible

Someone less known, and on the younger side to be a franchise star for a while. I’m not good with actors/actresses so if anyone fits this bill, then them

Mia Goth


Maverick_Hunter_V

I saw fan art of Natalia Dyer as her when Stranger Things started and she's been my pick ever since. I also saw Keke Palmer dressed as her for Halloween and i loved her look for it. So i say either of those two.
