Odessa A’Zion has finally addressed the rumors linking her to Rogue in the upcoming X-Men reboot. In a recent interview, the actress was asked about speculation surrounding her casting in the X-Men universe. While she didn’t confirm her role in the film, her statement gave fans a topic to discuss.
The rumors started earlier this year, with reports suggesting that Marvel Studios is considering A’Zion for the role of Rogue. Now, in an interview with Extra TV, when asked about the possibility, she responded, “I don’t know if I can answer that question. I don’t know. I genuinely have no idea.” Although she didn’t confirm or deny the rumors, her response keeps the speculation alive.
Directed by Jake Schreier, the reboot is expected to introduce a new generation of mutants to the Marvel Cinematic Universe following Avengers: Secret Wars.
Actors rumored to play Rogue in Marvel’s X-Men reboot
Odessa A’Zion is not the only actress whose name is getting connected to Rogue. According to reports, Cailee Spaeny is also being considered for the role. Currently, she is one of the popular young actresses in the industry. Following her breakout role as Priscilla in Priscilla (2023), she has been in projects such as Alien: Romulus (2024), Civil War (2024), and Beef Season 2 (2026).
Rogue is expected to be an important part of Marvel’s X-Men universe. Rogue, aka Anna Marie, has the ability to absorb another person’s powers, memories, and abilities through physical contact. At first, she struggled with her powers, but after spending time as a member of Mystique’s Brotherhood of Mutants, she became an important part of the team.
For now, the fans will have to wait for Marvel to officially reveal who will play the role of Rogue. With Sadie Sink confirmed as Jean Grey, many actors are reportedly in talks for the other roles, like Kit Connor as Cyclops (Scott Summers) and Samara Weaving as Emma Frost.
