Another Rumor Claims Hunter Schafer Is "Still Being Considered" for Role of Mystique in X-MEN Film Reboot
We are eagerly awaiting the release of the cast list for the upcoming reboot of Marvel’s X-Men, and while we wait, rumors continue to swirl about who could play these fan-favorite characters.
One recurring name that has popped up once again is that of Hunter Schafer (Euphoria), who according to scooper MTTSH (via CBM), is "still being considered" for the role of Raven Darkhölme, aka Mystique, in the upcoming movie.
Mystique was played by Rebecca Romain in the 20th Century Fox franchise, and Jennifer Lawrence from X-Men: First Class on. The character was originally introduced as a villain, but was given a lot more screen time as a member of the team in the later movies.
Rumor has it that the core team will consist of the OG mutant heroes from the comics (Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Angel, and Iceman), which means there's a good chance Mystique will once again take on an antagonistic role, possibly alongside her adoptive daughter, Rogue.
During a recent episode of The Hot Mic, Jeff Sneider mentioned that Marvel is looking at Odessa A'Zion (I Love LA) to play Rogue and Peter Claffey (A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms) to take on the role of Beast.
As always, we will just have to wait and see if these rumors end up being true. Until then, who would you cast as the X-Men in this new era?
