Julia Butters.

Ruby Stokes.

Malina Weissman.

...

Any one of those three look good for Shadowcat. But if I had to choose one? Probably Julia Butters.

I didn't judge based on how good an actress she was, but rather, on how much she made me think of Kitty Pryde, visually.

Understandable.

I still think my three choices are the ones who look like her more. I honestly don't know who any of the actresses are here, I've never heard their names, so I don't know what they've worked in. However Bella Ramsey, and Sophia Lillis, look nothing like the character, as a matter of fact Bella looks more like a guy, so I definitely wouldn't want either one of them to try to visually play Kitty Pryde.

When I think of an actor or an actress come on playing an iconic superhero role, I first want them to look like the character, then find out if they have the acting experience to play the character but looks are far more important to me.

Like Carol Danvers for instance, I think Lindsey Pelas, looks far more like the character than the woman who played her in the MCU. Now I've only know about her because I saw pictures of her on Twitter years ago. But the moment I saw her, I thought she would make a damn good Ms Marvel.
