As long as there’s all the time an upcoming Marvel film on the books, then you possibly can depend on some wild rumors rising, from announcement by means of to manufacturing. An image like 2026’s Avengers: Doomsday alone put that exact mill on extra time, and the most recent is a wild piece of hypothesis on Rebecca Romijin’s return as her X-Males character Mystique. Properly, go away it to Romijin’s husband, Jerry O’Connell, to flip the state of affairs right into a lovably goofy second of levity.
Jerry O’Connell Deflected A Reasonably Attention-grabbing Mystique Declare With Humor
The declare of the second has speculated that this blue tinted member of Doomsday’s in depth solid “gained’t be bare in Avengers: Doomsday.” Sharing that message together with his followers, O’Connell’s Twitter reply got here down to 1, easy phrase:
Dammit.
Now that could be a supportive and loving husband. It’s additionally a reasonably on-brand response, seeing as Jerry O’Connell’s congratulations submit additionally clowned round about Rebecca Ronijin being launched to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
However past the plain gag involving “nudity,” my very own learn on this rumor leaves me scratching my head – as current approaches to the character of Raven Darkholme have already appeared to render this piece of dialogue out of date.
This Mystique Nudity Rumor Is Bizarre On Two Fronts
If we’re going by the unique timeline of X-Males films, then X-Males: The Final Stand could be the largest trace that might have identified the necessity for clothes. As Raven Darkholme misplaced her powers by means of the mutant treatment in that notorious threequel, we already knew she may not shift her look. So nudity would have been a non-starter in that respect.
Nonetheless, even from a cinematic standpoint, we’ve seen Mystique strolling round in garments earlier than. Actually, Jennifer Lawrence’s rendition of the character had her personal X-Males uniform to indicate off. Contemplating the No Onerous Emotions actor’s tales in regards to the intensive Mystique make-up course of, that was definitely a no brainer.
However even when Rebecca Romijin continues to be comfy with getting made up, and if her Raven in some way nonetheless has her powers, then utilizing a uniform of some type would nonetheless assist maintain that point within the chair at a minimal. That facet considerably helps if you’ve bought a solid as massive because the one we’ll be seeing in Avengers: Doomsday, which is at present in manufacturing.
If the clothed Mystique rumors are correct, Jerry O’Connell’s famed “Mystique Shelf” of memorabilia is about to seek out at the very least one new variant added to the gathering. Typically silver linings are what it is all about, my mates. Doomsday is upon us, as the following Avengers film might be hitting theaters on Could 1, 2026. Within the meantime you possibly can see “The New Avengerz” in Thunderbolts*, which is in theaters now – and will have a special title, relying on the place you catch it.
