It’s finally official: after tons of reports, rumors and speculation, the cast of the new X-Men movie has been announced. Overall, it’s made up of folks I fully expected to see. However, there is one casting choice that really surprised me.
Alright, let’s get into this. At D23, the new cast of X-Men was brought out during the part of the event dedicated to upcoming Marvel movies and TV shows. Of course, it includes Sadie Sink, who will be reprising her role as Jean Grey after being introduced in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Alongside her will be Samara Weaving as Emma Frost and Kit Connor as Cyclops, both of whom we knew about.
Now, getting into the new additions, Christopher Abbott will play Professor X, Adam Driver will play Nathaniel Mayberry, Maya Boyd will play Storm, and Inde Navarrette has been cast as Rogue.
So, to put that all into a nice list, here’s everything we know about who is in the new X-Men movie:
- Sadie Sink as Jean Grey
- Kit Connor as Cyclops
- Samara Weaving as Emma Frost
- Maya Boyd as Storm
- Inde Navarrette as Rogue
- Christopher Abbott as Professor X
- Adam Driver as Mr. Sinister
Again, we anticipated a lot of this, thanks to rumors that have broken over the last few days. However, I was still surprised to see this list and specifically Inde Navarrette’s casting as Rogue. That’s because she’s been open about her love for Mystique, and it was speculated that she could play her in the MCU. However, she’s taking on another iconic X-Men role instead, and I cannot wait to see her!
More to come…
