MARVEL: Sadie Sink Adresses X-Men Casting Rumours

[OliviaRodrigoStan 4,926]

After being confirmed as a part of the cast for Spiderman 4, Stranger Things' star Sadie Sink was asked about her role in the Marvel cinematic universe. 

The actress has been rumored to be the company's top choice to play the X-Men's strongest telepath, Jean Grey

However, the confirmation of her role in Spiderman 4 left fans confused. Who is the redhead talent actually playing? is it Mary Jane Watson? Spiderman's often forgotten mutant ally, Firestar? Black Cat? . 

Or is it actually just Jean Grey, making her MCU debut, in a Spiderman film? . For context, Peter Parker has crossed paths with the fiery mutant, on several occasions, going as far as stealing a kiss from her, early on in the comics: 

But when confronted about it, Sadie kept it vague: 

She did not really confirmed, nor denied, whether or not she was playing the fearsome Phoenix, or somebody else . Personally, I think she looks a bit too young for the role, I feel like someone like Zoey Deutch would be a better choice: 

But I guess soon enough we'll know. Will you be watching Spiderman 4 besties?  are you excited about miss Sadie joining the MCU?

Zendaya is MJ.

I'm really not in the mood for another round of young X-Men.

imo the original team should be in their 30s, the New Mutants and other teams in the early 20s.

And please, no more Phoenix storyline for at least 30 years 

I really want Krakoa to be a thing, it's so refreshing.

Zendaya's character has a whole different name. Still, I obviously don't think they'll retire Zendaya as the romantic interest, so it's highly unlikely that Sink will play Mary Jane. Some fans speculate Black Cat, but I don't see it, she's too naive-looking for that role. I think it's either Firestar or Jean, and I hope it's Firestar cause I want someone else to play Phoenix

I agree, specially because so many characters do not work at all as 20 somethings. Mainly characters like Storm, Wolverine, and Gambit, would not really click if portrayed by really young actors.

Oh they will do Phoenix for a third time, rest assured . Specially if they intend to ever do Krakoa, that whole thing was 90% Phoenix . 

I think their only way to avoid a third Phoenix film, is if they adapt that story as a series instead, like they did with Wanda. 

Personally, I hope Sadie is not playing Jean. Her playing Jean implies a young Cyclops too, and I think he should finally get a proper gigachad adaptation in film 

Literally everyone got at least 1 cool casting except Scott in the movies  (Madsen was way too young in the first films, he was giving underwear model, not mutant papi ).

also casting them young kills all the possibility for Madelyne / Nathan-Stryfe / Hope / Rachel

Would be nice to have Havoc too and Vulcan, I mean, we're already exploring space, so the Shi'ar are obviously there.

I'm asking too much I know, I'm just so bored of the same old stories and characters, Fox really didn't do justice to the X-Men.

 

Also pleaseeeeeeeeeee recast wolverine properly, gimme a hairy short daddy and adapt make this happen:

See, I could see Sadie as Hope, or Rachel. But not as Phoenix or Madelyne.

Oh, but they will 100% do the same popular characters from always. X-Men '97s success is most likely the main reason why Marvel got excited about this reboot, and the message was: the audience wants the classic team, with the classic outfits. 

I think they will include lesser known characters, but later on. My delulu request would be Keke Palmer as an adult Bronze 

I know she's supposed to be a teen + is a completely flop character that no one cares about, but in my head, Keke could play an amazing adult version of her. I just love Bronze's fashion and color palette, and I want Keke to be on the franchise  (and I doubt they'll cast her as Rogue, despite her interest in the role). 

But upon release... I see Jean, Storm, Cyclops, Iceman, Jubilee, Gambit, Rogue, Wolverine and Beast for sure. Kitty Pride was rumored, and maybe Angel or Psylocke, hopefully Polaris too. 

The rest might show up on the second or third films.

He will get recast, I love Hugh, but he's like, 90 . I doubt we'll get his gay variant though, the closest we could possibly get to that, was Deadpool & Wolverine, and they didn't even include it for comedy relief, despite having so many Logan variants on the film . I think we'll get gay Iceman and that'll be it

I'm yet to read From The Ashes so I don't really know Bronze much, I'm reading Trials of X atm, I'm doing the whole Krakoa by chronological order including the big events, I'm THAT masochist lol

Yeah Sadie is more a Rachel/Hope than Jean.

I wonder which Psylocke they are aiming for, original Betsy, Kwannon body Betsy, Kwannon or new Betsy.

Polaris would be awesome, even Eye Boy, I kinda like him now, he's cool

and Akihiro, Imagine an R rated tv series with him

 

I can see Prodigy popping up in Vision Quest with Speed and then going straight to Children's Crusade, Doom is here so I guess the plotline with Wanda fits perfectly.

but just without the no more mutants, which is sad..

 

 

BYT I HAVE A DIFFERENT WANDA MESS

 

MCU ends with wanda watches everyone fighting each other, villans, heroes, everybody.. then she says NO MORE MCU and the screen goes blank. and OVER.
