Marvel‘s upcoming X-Men reboot could have an interesting casting possibility for Jubilee. Avatar star Trinity Bliss has previously expressed interest in playing the popular mutant, and a new rumor has reignited fan speculation about her potential casting.
Reacting to @cosmic_marvel‘s post suggesting Bliss could play Jubilee, scooper @ScoopsRus_ wrote, “Here’s the thing, it actually might happen.” However, the response does not confirm that Marvel has approached Bliss or begun casting negotiations.
New X-Men rumor gives Trinity Bliss’ Jubilee hopes a boost
The latest speculation follows Bliss’s earlier comments about her interest in joining the X-Men universe. During an interview with Daniel Merrifield for The Movie Dweeb, she was asked whether she could become the next Jubilee.
Bliss expressed enthusiasm about the possibility, saying, “I did see that rumour. Wish it was true. I mean like I would be so down. I love Jubilee and that whole world and everything. That’s so cool. I mean, it’s just fan casting, right? But that would be really, really cool.”
Bliss is best known for portraying Tuk, the youngest child of Jake Sully and Neytiri, in James Cameron’s Avatar films. Her performances in Avatar: The Way of Water and Avatar: Fire and Ash have brought her wider recognition. Meanwhile, her interest in the superhero franchise has made her a popular choice among fans discussing possible Jubilee casting.
Jubilee, whose real name is Jubilation Lee, first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #244 in 1989. She is a mutant who can generate explosive energy plasmoids resembling colorful fireworks. The character also became familiar to television audiences through X-Men: The Animated Series and its revival, X-Men ’97. Lana Condor previously portrayed Jubilee in the 2016 film X-Men: Apocalypse, although the character had limited screen time.
For now, Bliss remains a fan-casting choice rather than a confirmed cast member of the reboot. She also told The Direct in March 2026 that she had not been cast as Jubilee. Marvel Studios has yet to announce its casting choice for the role or confirm any discussions with Bliss.
