The rumor that a Marty Supreme actress has been cast as Rogue can no longer be ignored. The upcoming X-Men Reboot movie has many cast-related rumors but Rogue’s casting is almost confirmed.
What’s the update on the X-Men Rogue casting rumors?
A few months ago, scooper Jeff Sneider stated that Odessa A’zion from Marty Supreme is being cast as Rogue in the X-Men Reboot. Recently, scooper James Mack also stated the same, which was followed by a quick apology claiming that he did not know the former “had already reported on her being in the role.”
That said, this report is still a rumor, like the other rumored cast, as Marvel Studios has not officially released any statements. In fact, the X-Men Reboot director, Jake Schreier, recently responded to these rumors. But with two scoopers claiming the same, fans are starting to believe that A’zion could truly be the next Rogue.
It’s also worth noting that Sneider was a former reporter who has previously worked for Variety and TheWrap and now runs The InSneider newsletter. Mack scoops originate from social media and are often shared as unconfirmed rumors before official statements are released.
Apart from Marty Supreme, A’zion recently voiced the character Nikki in Netflix’s Stranger Things: Tales from ’85. She previously acted in I Love LA, She Rides Shotgun, Until Dawn, and Pools.
Her future project credits include Nickels, Mother Courage, and For the Night. If her role as the memory and power-absorber in the X-Men Reboot film is confirmed, it would be a major milestone for her.
Along with her, Hunter Schafer is rumored to play Mystic, while Inde Navarrette recently confirmed that she met with the X-Men director. Although the casting details are under wraps and the project is still in the early stages of production, Schreier confirmed that writers Lee Sung Jin and Joanna Calo are actively working on drafting the script.
