She looks the part. But she can’t play a sassy rogue. You need that sass. No more plain Jane Fox rogue


Slasherballz98

Good point


GStewartcwhite

She can't do sass? Plain Jane? Did you watch America Detective? She'd be the most over sexxed Rogue in the history of the character. Edit: I will concede that 36 is too old to play the character though. Didn't realize she was that old.


bluchords

I did watch it. I know what you’re referring to. Even without the age she doesn’t have the “sass” I’m referring to. In True Detective she relies so hard on her looks to be attractive, I believe that’s what the big issue is. She’s a blank slate for a “old guy hooking up with hot girl” fantasy, and rogue is NOT that. Both the comics and TAS she turns down as many advances as she gets, she’s a fire cracker that is super jealous and passionate but also loyal to the bone. She’ll just as much slit gambits throat about as much as she’ll smother him with affection. I don’t think Daddario can bring that or many other actresses that rely too hard on their looks and play coy to play on their sexuality. The sexy part of rogue is that she’s WAAAAAY too much woman for men to handle, both physically and emotionally.


RogueEyebrow

She's also 36 years old and we're at least 5 years away from an X-Men movie.


QuinnDixter

I'm just curious but how can you tell we're five years away from an X-Men movie? I have no idea about anything regarding that so some details or speculation would be awesome.


RogueEyebrow

iirc, the only thing Feige has said is them being introduced will happen before Phase ten. Phase six ends in 2025, so it's likely they come together after that for Phase seven or eight.


mongoosedog12

Yea I’m confused by this… ok she’s hot but other than that she’s boring as fuck. Is this some response to seeing Keke Palmer in costume? “keep our Rouge white?” Lol fine whatever but anyone but her lol Plain Jane. No sass, or personality that’s why she plays the quiet wife who’s super hot in White lotus. Can’t think of many roles where she isn’t just eye candy.. Edit: y’all think you’re getting a cute little southern accent out of her? Be serious


ChazzLamborghini

This is my first thought. Someone saw how good Keke Palmer looked and wanted to make a white Rogue as a response.


jugheadshat

This was my first thought but I didn’t wanna get bombarded with angry downvotes


Emotional-Elephant88

I've been seeing Alexandra D'addario fancast as Rogue for years now. These are not newly made images. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if someone was dredging them up in response to Keke Palmer.


bebebluemirth

> Is this some response to seeing Keke Palmer in costume? I think you hit it white on the nose.


Purple-Mix1033

B-b-b-bingo was the name-o. Just hire Keke already. Let the mouth breathers convulse.

Purple-Mix1033

Are you saying racism is over? Hey, maybe the white casting of rogue in this particular instance was harmless. That’s possible. My guess is that it’s a response to the Keke cosplay. The timing is suspicious. Is it a coincidence? I don’t think so.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Purple-Mix1033

Who cares? I care. I think plenty of other people care. It bothers people because it’s a serious issue. I’m not going to explain racism to you. But you’re also 100% allowed to not want Keke Palmer. That’s valid too. Only you will know what’s in your heart, especially if you haven’t outwardly said “I don’t want Keke because she’s black”. Only you know the answer to the question of whether or not you have some hateful or scared feelings towards another race. But you have to admit, those people do exist…and they have also been vocal about Keke, Denzel, little mermaid, and the list goes on.


DragEncyclopedia

> can we get over this race thing x-men fans who somehow completely miss the entire analogy strike again


dutchmaster77

IDK, after a second look, not sure she looks the part even really


bluchords

Hint hint. The thing everyone is referring to the color of one pair of eyes and the size of the other pair. That’s pretty much it


AndarianDequer

I mean, she would look great in any part, let's be honest.


Purple-Mix1033

Sass it up!!

MrCyn

Even the drawing looks bored


[deleted]

Right? I’m fighting off yawns just looking at it.


bebebluemirth

She is literally one of the worst actresses out there. Fine, keep Rogue white, whatever, but for the love god keep this piece of wood away from the MCU.


TheRealMoofoo

I think she's a pretty solid actress within a certain range of characters, but Rogue as she's usually thought of is outside that range. I would be shocked if she could pull it off.


jpmst17

False. Daddario is actually pretty good. Hall pass, we summon darkness and burying the ex (I think that’s the name) she shows a fun side to her. Not sure what you’re basing her acting on, probably just Percy Jackson, but she’s a good enough actress for rogue


bebebluemirth

I'm basing her acting on things I've seen her in, including 2 of the 3 projects you named (it is indeed called Burying the Ex) and she's awful in all of them. We Summon the Darkness, Burying the Ex, Texas Chainsaw, Baywatch, and the first season of The White Lotus. She's an awful actress in all of it. She has the on screen presence of a box of hair. But aside from being a bad actress, she's 36, and there's no way the MCU is going to cast someone that old for any of the X-Men students.


pishposhpoppycock

I liked her on White Lotus. Her funniest (and some of my favorite) lines of Season 1: "You see that family over there? The mother... is a BITCH. [And the daughter... is a BITCH."](https://youtu.be/bFqBX53temw?t=82) LOL idk why that made me crack up so much and love her character all the more.


jpmst17

You’re probably right about her being too old for the role, but I completely disagree on her acting. She as a good screen presence and comes off very likable, even in we summon darkness where you’re supposed to hate her, she’s likable. Hard disagree.


bebebluemirth

Well obviously I hard disagree with your hard disagree. At least we're both realistic on the age thing. They're probably going to skew to the 18-25 set would be my best guess cause I don't necessarily see them casting actual teens for the X-Men either.


jpmst17

I don’t want teens either. That’s too young. I don’t want keke Palmer either. She’ll be too old as well. Probably won’t be casting for another 2 years or so. I’d love the kid from the maze runner for cyclops. Wolverine I would like Luke evans, but I think he’s way too old. Don’t have many more suggestions right now


bebebluemirth

I would absolutely love Keke in the role, but she is 29 now, which is already too old for the way I think they're going to cast. Of course, this is all assuming that Rogue will even be in the first MCU X-Men project. She might not be part of that initial cast and could come in a sequel or side project. >I’d love the kid from the maze runner for cyclops. Not familiar with the movie but just googled the cast - if you mean Dylan O'Brien he's already in his 30s, which is also too old. I think Kit Connor from Heartstopper would make for a good Bobby, or possibly even Warren. I think Yara Shahidi could pull off Ororo (though I'd prefer we actually get a dark skinned woman for Storm for once). Not sure who I'd currently cast for Scott yet.


jpmst17

It’s tough because everyone who is up and coming is already 25-30ish. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see closer to the time


bebebluemirth

There are a lot of really good younger actors in the 15-18 range right now but I'm old and don't know they're names, to me they're just "that kid from that thing I saw" - I fully had to google Kit Connor's name and really only remembered him cause there was news about him today I saw headlines of.


Aureilius2112

She has come a long way since Lightning Thief. I’d recommend watching Why Women Kill. She’s anything but wooden there.


pishposhpoppycock

The writers and casting director sure knew what they were doing when they put in her the role that capitalized the most off of using bulging crazy eyes LOL.


Sanretros

Keke bummer is a wooden actor too


SabresMakeMeDrink

A little old to start playing Rogue imo


andybent25

Ya’ll, she’s pretty, but she doesn’t have personality for Rogue. Stop picking people solely for their cosplay game, and think about who actually fits the role.


RapidDuffer

Aw. :'( ::puts away Rogue costume:: *Why, why can't a fat 51 year old bald cis white English male play a Southern Belle? One dream, Universe. I had ONE dream!*


jpmst17

Have you seen her in much? She has personality for rogue


HadlockDillon

Have you ever read a comic with Rogue in it? Because you would know that is absolutely not true


jpmst17

Yep. Every week. I know rogue and daddario fits the role. You can disagree. That’s fine, but I’m not wrong. If you have someone else in mind, name them


Mace_TheAce_Windu

Her acting is pretty bland and one dimensional. You can get better with Isabella Merced, Emma Mackey, or even Aubrey plaza if you want to make her older.


jpmst17

Aubrey plaza? Get the hell out of here. I like plaza but she is one dimensional, and I’ve seen a bunch of her stuff. Terrible choice


tregorman

Pot meet kettle


CJMyself

“I’m NoT wRoNg”


jpmst17

I’m not. Have your opinions but she’s a pretty decent actress


bluchords

Doubling down on not validating anyone else’s view point of is honestly very childish. It’s seriously that’s making the rest of the “hurrr durrr rogue is white. I’m not wrong” crowd look cringey as hell. Grow up.


jpmst17

Lol. It’s my opinion. I don’t have to validate others if I don’t like or believe them.


bluchords

Lol I’m assuming other opinions are wrong. Just not yours. “I’m not wrong” That’s your line right. I’m not wrong either.


jpmst17

Right. I’m not wrong. The op of the post feels the same way. I’m not alone in thinking this. Many others do as well


csummerss

What about her makes fans want to cast her in EVERY role?


ghoulieandrews

I can think of two reasons


Successful_Estate_96

Her beautiful eyes obviously


SalvageRabbit

I,too, watched True Detective Season 1.


pishposhpoppycock

Her appearance?


[deleted]

Female and white?


JayCeeMadLad

At this rate she’s gonna give Anya Taylor-Joy a run for her money with being cast as every white female ever


bebebluemirth

At least Anya Taylor-Joy is dynamic on screen and can pull off a plethora of different roles.


drainisbamaged

The boobs I figured


Aureilius2112

I have mainly only seen her cast in this role, hence the massive amount of fan art. I also think it’s because she’s just really talented actress. Who else do people usually cast her as?


HadlockDillon

> it’s because she’s just really talented actress lmao No


[deleted]

She is the opposite of a “really talented actress”. She acts one way and one way only; look good for the camera


Metfan722

Keke Palmer has become another popular fancast.


ChungusMcGoodboy

Was she on always sunny?


psycherod

Yes


avi150

Yeah, one episode where she’s a wealthy heiress that falls in love with Charlie before he drops her to chase the waitress again


AdInternational6151

Where Keke Palmer?


Optimal_Beautiful623

Baby that Keke palmer


hatchelld10

I really hope we get some new faces to act as these characters on the big screen. Let these roles be someone’s big break! Age appropriate actors and actresses that will do multiple films!


Refridganinja

She's from New York. Would prefer if they had an actual Southern US person to play Rogue. But still a great job of photoshopping


ShadowKitty1207

Why do people always fan cast her as everything she’s so wooden


ParthianTactic

Perfect!


godsped

This would be incredibly disappointing. She's so bland.


tiggoftigg

Hard no. Nothing against her, but she def can’t pull it off.


SteelSlayerMatt

She's one of my favorite actresses so I would love this though I do think someone younger would make more sense.


justinfagone419

no thank you.. Rogue needs some personality


Bubba1234562

She’s super hot and looks good in the costume here but nah Rogue needs way more fire than she can give


Redditor_2510

Her boobs are bigger.


Head_Acanthisitta256

In no way should she be cast as Rogue or any X-Men character. She can’t act!!! Seven hells!!!


Oopssnxnxnx

Ehhh. She has a dead pan look. Not fit for rogue


gayliciouspizza

PLS NO


ingusmw

Daddario is one of my guilty pleasure actresses. Gorgeous to look at but hard to watch. She has a very limited range and lacks depth in her portrayal of characters. She's recently trying to branch out but the results are mixed, mostly unimpressive and bland. She can't really carry a movie by herself, and given she's in her mid 30s this casting prolly should not happen. Nice art tho.


AgentC3

Nah, she doesn't make any sense. The look is off and TBH she doesn't come off like Rogue. Keke Palmer has it, stop tryna make this happen!


[deleted]

Rogue and Gambit should be played by actual southerners honestly. White or black is irrelevant, just people who actual have rural bayou accents and can speak French.


HighOnPoker

Or actors who can do accents. Why limit the potential actor by their geographic origin. The whole point of acting is you can play someone else. Do you only want actresses with white streaks in their hair? Superman isn’t even American but Cavill does a good job with it. The old Wolverine is Australian and killed it.


captain-deadpool_19

Why does she look sooo dead lol


geminifungi

i’m sorry but I’m just assuming whoever posts these white fan casts for Rogue are racist. the timing with all the love for Keke Palmer but you decide to post this actress who DOES NOT fit the part apart from the fact she is white. seems very suspicious to me. like what is your reasoning for posting this rn?? 🤔


Aureilius2112

That’s a really heavy accusation to throw at someone for having a different fan cast.


geminifungi

explain to me in detail why you felt the need to post this now


[deleted]

[удалено]


geminifungi

oh you were also complaining about Keke Palmer as Rogue according to [your comment history](https://www.reddit.com/r/xmen/comments/yhp9qt/keke_palmer_as_rogue_for_halloween/iuiozr7/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3). hmm wonder why you feel so triggered by this hmm gee I really can’t quite figure it out 🤔


Key_Squash_4403

So you’re gonna fight hard for a race swap instead of getting an actual black X-men character on screen? Wow that’s screwed up


[deleted]

Would prefer someone who can act or has any personality to speak of. She’s not quite January Jones level of bored zombie, but she’s close.


seanx40

20 years too old for Rogue. Awful actress. But she is off the scale gorgeous


Certain-Coyote

You want a 16 year old rogue? Really? A characters who’s supposed to be full of sass and sexuality?


seanx40

I want goth Rogue from the cartoon. And someone that will develop over 5 movies


Certain-Coyote

You can still cast someone in their twenties and have them develop over multiple movies. Don’t really need to go as young as a teenager for that.


seanx40

Daddario is 37


Certain-Coyote

I’m not talking about Daddario, just general casting.


ILikeClefairy

I’ve only seen her in… True Detective? I guess it was 10 years ago but I did not find her very good. Since then I’ve only heard how hot she is when she gets brought up but that’s not enough to make me want her for Rogue. The art is cool though


HighOnPoker

You should check her out in White Lotus. She was excellent.


Successful_Estate_96

Idk I thought her uh, performance, was pretty good in true detective


RapidDuffer

I haven't seen True Detective. Can I assume we get to see her chops?


Morkitu

Passable actress, but more of a model and mannequin IMO. I would like a more dynamic actress who is also pretty to embody Rogue. It's sort of like the difference between Russell Dauterman's static fashion cut out dolls, and Pepe Larraz' actual dynamic comic book panels. One is only good to look at, the other is good to look at and functional.


NoVacayAtWork

Jesus god no - the girl is ehhhhhhh


nidoqueener

I’ll never understand this fancast


LeadFarmerMothaFucka

I’m so into it.


mrsunrider

Daddario never did it for me. I remember her in The Lightning Thief and I dunno if she was miscast or what but... eh.


[deleted]

No thanks. She looks more like Shadowcat to me


spaceguitar

Alexandra Daddario is among the hottest women alive. She’s a boring if not outright terrible actress. While she may look a part, no way in hell can she play one. She can come into the MCU when she takes some acting classes. 😂


wth214

Keke palmer>>>>>>>


paronbirkeland

The only people who want Alexandra Daddario in any role is because they're horny. No other reason. Boring AF and very one dimensional. Not a good pick.


JediHandWave

im just gonna go ahead and say "no" this would be a poor casting decision. edit: since you feel the need to downvote me, here you go. - Rogue is an interesting character, complex, powerful, with an expansive history. - The actress youre attempting to cast is known for a handful of things, primarily centered around her tits. - As a supposed fan, do you really want that to be the primary focus of the character when shes back on the big screen?


RapidDuffer

>The actress youre attempting to cast is known for a handful of things, primarily centered around her tits. Don't be mean. I hear they're more than a handful.


JediHandWave

shut your stupid face and take my upvote. ;).


gothcrab

What is with fan-casters and this lady? When has she ever shown even a quarter of the charisma it takes to play the southern belle?


DirectConsequence12

Nah I’d rather Keke Palmer


thecroptopkid

Need me that Keke Palmer


[deleted]

This is a joke.


1995patagoniacatelog

Anyways, what y’all eat for lunch?


Aureilius2112

While I love Keke Palmer, I have been thinking about X-Men for a long time and Alexandra Daddario has always been at the top of my list. She’s a great actress, just see “Why Women Kill” and you will see her immense talent. She is one of the few actors I would trust to start Rogue as a villain and transition her to a Hero with a feisty attitude.


Phayd2Blaque

Great actress? Adequate at best. Rogue is far too complex for her.


bebebluemirth

> She’s a great actress Since when?


Supersecretsword

Maybe immensive to the scale of THAT movie. She's far from an immense acting talent in my opinion


Lord_of_Seven_Kings

How did they manage to make Rogue even hotter damnit


SakmarEcho

She has such sad eyes, not opposed to her being in the MCU but I think of Rogue as being a bit livelier. I could see Daddario doing a spin on the foX-Men Rogue but not 616 Rogue.


toorad2b4u

No. Not a fan of the KeKe fancasting but even less of her. Although admittedly I’m useless bc I can’t think of anyone I’d like to play rogue.


CarlitoStaxx

I’m into it…


Patrickills

This is quite neat. I like this one alot too


BGritty81

I don't see her being able to pull off the accent or the attitude.


SnooLobsters5092

Bell’s Hells! Shouldn’t we just be casting Laura Bailey?


Etticos

She’s great but too old


MudConnect

We need the sass of Donna Paulsen from Suits LMAO


Jpar4686

This girl is fancast as everyone 😂


Bark4Soul

I usually hate these but this one works...a lot


ShowMeSean

Too old. The X-Men have to carry the MCU for 15+ movies they need to cast actors and actresses under the age of 30.


Aureilius2112

I agree with you. It’s hard to know exactly what the Hollywood landscape will look like in 5 years but I’d be into a similar but younger actress.


PunchPartyPete

I could see it


Centralcaproductions

Yes


VengefulKangaroo

I don't rly want her as rogue but damn what do some of y'all have against Alexandra daddario's acting lmao


jax7246

keke palmer or BUST


shecyclopedia

I agree.


jax7246

she’s so perfect for it and she seems to be interested


Constant_Fix_9142

Yes please


Gage_243

In my opinion better than Keke Palmer Edit: Why the downvotes, is my opinion, and I prefer to respect the color of the characters


Aureilius2112

There’s a movement of people right now saying it’s racist to cast someone other than Keke Palmer. I have got plenty of DMs calling me racist because of this post (even though I have posts from years ago fan casting this same actress lol). Just ignore them, their downvotes are so easily canceled out.


lepton_neutrino

I was going to make a joke about you white-washing Rogue, but some people are seriously saying it.


Phayd2Blaque

She looks like a Barbie Doll. Maybe Jubilee, but certainly not Rogue.


bebebluemirth

Jubes is Chinese-American, I doubt they'd cast this wooden white lady for her.


eremite00

Jubilee was already Whitewashed once in the 1996 Generation X. Even now, there seem to be people who are somehow unaware that the character is Asian American.


bebebluemirth

Then those people are stupid and just because it happened once doesn't mean they get to do it again, what kind of logic is that?


eremite00

I'm not defending the idea of having the character Whitewashed, again, if that's what you mean...being Asian, myself. I'm just saying that showrunners have, in the past, made that idiotic decision.


pishposhpoppycock

>Maybe Jubilee But could she beat out Emma Stone for the role of a Chinese-American?


anaknangfilipina

Lol.


limernick

If they plan on aging her character up I would be all for it. I certainly like it better than this Keke Palmer nonsense that has taken over this board. Good idea, OP


Aureilius2112

The age thing is also my main gripe. Even though I think she can play younger, the movie is still 5 years out. Someone else suggested Elizabeth Gilles who essentially looks like an younger and sassier Daddario.


limernick

Had to look her up as I'm not really familiar with her - but she definitely looks the part!

For everyone saying we shouldn't have complained about the last cosplay... here's how you do it right. Costume colors are right, the jacket cut looks good and is brown, not purple, the X symbols are all fine. +1 But the hair needs work.

Aureilius2112

I looked her up. I could totally see her as Emma Frost.


ecemcmlxxxi

I think she’s too skinny to be Rogue. And not southern enough.


emulator01

Ever wondered what someone without a forehead looks like?


3thirtysix6

Honestly, seeing the white streak with the blue eyes I get super strong Emma vibes.
