Over time, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has change into a behemoth power within the leisure world, with new releases hitting each theaters and streaming with a Disney+ subscription. Arguably essentially the most hotly anticipated upcoming Marvel film is Avengers: Doomsday, which can have a large solid of characters. And after listening to Anna Paquin’s curiosity in taking part in Rogue once more, I believe she must get in on the enjoyable.
What we learn about Avengers: Doomsday is rising, particularly due to that solid announcement dwell stream. Quite a lot of actors from the X-Males films have been confirmed, together with Kelsey Grammer, James Marsden, Rebecca Romijn, Alan Cumming, Patrick Stewart, and Ian McKellen. I not too long ago noticed a earlier video from ET, the place Paquin was requested what it might take for her to play Rogue once more. She responded:
Being requested. I by no means bought to fly, c’mon.
Actually, that appears fairly minimize and dry. Clearly the star of True Blood (which is streaming with Max subscription) is not against lastly chickening out as Rogue. And now that the X-Males are being introduced again for Doomsday, it looks as if the proper time to get the Oscar-winning actress within the MCU.
There may be nonetheless hope for Paquin’s Rogue to make an look. Kevin Feige already confirmed that “some not all” of the Avengers: Doomsday solid was introduced, so there will probably be much more names than those listed in that dwell stream. Whether or not or not Paquin or extra X-Males alum make it into the film stays to be seen, however she’s undoubtedly a beloved determine from Fox’s franchise.
Followers who’ve spent years watching the Marvel films so as have not-so-patiently ready for the X-Males to lastly assemble within the shared universe. Disney’s acquisition of twentieth Century Fox opened the door for this to occur, however the studio did not rush out an X-Males film. It is nonetheless unclear precisely when that may occur, however having so many acquainted mutants in Doomsday is an exciting step ahead.
In her feedback, Paquin talked about by no means with the ability to fly in as Rogue. Her the movie model of the beloved character solely had the mutant capacity to empty the powers of others. However within the comics and most different variations she’s additionally bought the everlasting flight, tremendous energy, and endurance that she bought from draining the life power out of Captain Marvel. Possibly if she will get to hitch the enjoyable of Avengers: Doomsday or Secret Wars she’ll lastly be capable of take flight.
Paquin starred within the authentic X-Males trilogy, though she did not have a lot display time in The Final Stand. He and her co-stars later reprised their roles for Days of Future Previous, however Rogue’s scenes ended up being minimize from the theatrical minimize.
Avengers: Doomsday is at present anticipated to hit theaters on Could 1st, 2026. Since its not on the 2025 film launch listing, we’ll must hope and await extra casting information from the studio.
