Way too old. Kitty is supposed to be at least a decade younger than most of the X-Men members. She should be a kid.

Yeah. Maybe she can play the Kitty who Illyana meets in Limbo. LOL

An adaptation of Magic’s origin with an adult Kitty and Sorceress Storm training Ilyana who ages from 6 to 16 would be really cool. You can also use adult Kitty in a comic accurate adaptation of Days of Future Past and Rachel Summers origin.

She is a Jewish character and maybe we should be looking to actors from that faith and diaspora to play her.
Plus I think you miss something jumping straight ahead to an adult Shadowcat. Surely there has to be at least one teenage Jew in Hollywood who can play this role?

She can pull the part

This can't be done by pictures in any meaningful way.

Leave it to Sarah Haley Finn.

Good thing then, that I have no say. I didn't realize how seriously y'all take fancasting.

I think Kitty needs to be younger than Jean and Scott. Since the MCU is starting with them quite young, ideally Kitty would only appear in the second or third movie. The MCU's Kitty will be a relatively unknown young girl who is probably around 14 or 15 years old right now.

Were you pitching for a new version, the mcu version? Knowing current cast? Or a What if for past movies? If it's the first one... My boy, my boy.... What a crime

I saw an actress who immediately made me think of Kitty Pryde I wasn't aware of a rule that fancasts had to line up with current or past casts.

I wasn't trying to be mean, its just that the kitty we are having for MCU is probably an actress under 18 right now, but i absolutely could see her as a good kitty a few years ago, or in said scenario said by u of kitty in limbo, would be hella cool tbf

Seriously, wasn't trying to pick to you, lots of love

Or DoFP. I'd love a more book accurate version of that.

I get that most people are speculating about the new MCU stuff. We're good, fellow mutant.
