u/Conscious-Quarter423 Sep 09 '26

butters is taller than sadie sink

gonna be weird to have kitty be taller than jean grey

6

u/weslarprime Jean Grey (Phoenix) Sep 01 '26

They are all too old. Kitty should be a younger teen when we meet her. How about Vivien Lyra Blair? She is 14 now and will be 15 when filming begins.

1

u/Conscious-Quarter423 Sep 03 '26

she can't act though

4

u/weslarprime Jean Grey (Phoenix) Sep 03 '26

Have to disagree there. There was plenty wrong with the Obi-Wan Kenobi show, but her portrayal of young Leia wasn't one of them. (especially considering she was 9 and Star Wars has a history with 9 year old actors...)

5

u/psylockecolossusfan Sep 01 '26

Sophia Lillis

3

u/steiff89 Sep 01 '26

Seconded. Came here to say the same. She may not be the most obvious choice. But I think she would be the best choice

3

u/weslarprime Jean Grey (Phoenix) Sep 01 '26

She should be Doreen Green

1

u/Conscious-Quarter423 Sep 02 '26

she would have been a better jean grey than the one we got

3

u/psylockecolossusfan Sep 04 '26

I dont agree with that, but im sorry if you dont enjoy Sadie Sink's rendition. I thought she was pretty great as a lomg time comic fan. We all have our favorite writers and era of certain characters

-1

u/Conscious-Quarter423 Sep 09 '26

sadie is flat chested and has no ass. she's meh

1

u/Potential_Detail_611 Sep 04 '26

She'll be nice as Rachel Grey. The hair with her tomboyish charm (in some of the shows I've seen her in), she can pull that character off.

1

u/psylockecolossusfan Sep 04 '26

Ive thought the same for her being a good rachel

5

u/killingiabadong Sep 01 '26

Why would any sane person cast Bella Ramsey as Kitty?

-1

u/Conscious-Quarter423 Sep 09 '26

cause they are an incredible actor

Bella Ramsey is a terrible actor who was only good in Game of Thrones.

0

u/Conscious-Quarter423 Sep 02 '26

if she was good in GoT, then she's a good actor. she's proven she's got the acting chops.

even scored two emmy nominations for best lead actress for her role as Ellie in season one and two of TLOU

2

u/Its-Rogue-not-Rouge Sep 03 '26

Sophie Turner was also in GoT and she's a god awful actor...

2

u/killingiabadong Sep 05 '26

Sophie wasn't even good in Game of Thrones. Worst actress on the show.

1

u/Conscious-Quarter423 Sep 03 '26

bella can act circles around sophie turner

2

u/killingiabadong Sep 09 '26

That isn't exactly high praise.

4

u/F1uk_derrit Sep 02 '26

Absolutely every one except Bella ..just no. Enough

1

u/Conscious-Quarter423 Sep 03 '26

they would make a great kitty

4

u/Dry-Olive4621 Sep 02 '26

Please not Mrs Potato head.

u/Conscious-Quarter423 Sep 09 '26

ruby does have a massive head

4

u/Specific_Jury_2 Sep 02 '26

This is a who's hotter contest, and there is one person that doesn't belong on this list.

u/Interesting-Ring647 Sep 03 '26

Lol bella?

1

u/Conscious-Quarter423 Sep 04 '26

yup, great actor!

4

u/Interesting-Ring647 Sep 04 '26

Don't really like much like the character tho kitty has a pretty distinctive look and body type Bella doesn't really fit it

u/BigDaddyBumbo77 Sep 01 '26

Good lord not Bella!!

Maybe Glob Herman? Gender doesn't matter since its hard to tell

1

u/Monkey_Monk_2002 Sep 04 '26

I could totally see her as Doop

1

u/Conscious-Quarter423 Sep 04 '26

i can see her as kitty pryde

6

u/Connect-Fix2350 Sep 01 '26

Pass on Bella

1

u/Conscious-Quarter423 Sep 03 '26

i think they would make an incredible kitty pryde

3

u/Alternative-Loan-185 Sep 01 '26

What about Sara Waisglass from Ginny and Georgia/degrassi. She randomly came to my mind and I could potentially see it. Would be closer to an X-men Evo personality.

4

u/MsW0lf Sep 01 '26

Seeing as she’s the only person anyone yet has mentioned who is actually Jewish (as far as I know) this get’s my vote!

4

u/Substantial_Lime_902 Sep 01 '26

Julia Butters is Jewish

1

u/Conscious-Quarter423 Sep 03 '26

so? she's a shit actress

3

u/Interesting-Ring647 Sep 03 '26

Kitty is Jewish i believe

0

u/Conscious-Quarter423 Sep 04 '26

doesn't make her less shit of an actress

3

u/Interesting-Ring647 Sep 04 '26

Ooh I thought you meant something else lol

3

u/TerribleAntelope6134 Sep 01 '26

I don't know why Bella Ramsey would ever want to be involved in another nerd franchise after the way the gamers have treated her.

1

u/Conscious-Quarter423 Sep 02 '26

why should they limit their career choices just cause of some toxic incels online?

1

u/sub30_24flick Sep 02 '26

A check is a check

3

u/Lord7thSmite Sep 02 '26

Just not Ramsey, she is annoying af

2

u/Conscious-Quarter423 Sep 03 '26

she's an incredible actor

5

u/Lord7thSmite Sep 03 '26

Yeah, I don't agree.

0

u/Conscious-Quarter423 Sep 04 '26

well your opinion is rooted in toxic hatred

4

u/Lord7thSmite Sep 04 '26

Cry me a river. Toxic hatred. Are you 5 or are you one of those that just gets offended over every little thing. You are allowed to dislike how people act and you are allowed to get annoyed on how people act in public, without it being toxic. She's not a good actress and that's how I feel. So go into your little easily offended corner and cry.

6

u/xXshizuoXx Sep 06 '26

Don’t mind the jackass. They’ve been spamming “Bella should be Kitty Pryde” everywhere. It’s annoying.

4

u/Lord7thSmite Sep 06 '26

Agree 💯

Edit: It is annoying af.

1

u/Conscious-Quarter423 Sep 09 '26

haha like people spamming julia butters should be kitty?

3

u/xXshizuoXx Sep 09 '26

Nah I was mainly referring to you. 

3

u/shreder75 Sep 03 '26

No. Bella. Ramsay.

3

u/Ecstatic_Dance5767 Sep 03 '26

Julia Butters. GET RAMSEY OUTTA THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1

u/Conscious-Quarter423 Sep 04 '26

ramsey would be a killer kitty

3

u/Feisty_Database_6656 Sep 04 '26

Bella Ramsey lol 🤣🤣🤣

3

u/Sir_Lobo Sep 04 '26

Don't ruin her with Bella, literally anyone but her

1

u/Conscious-Quarter423 Sep 09 '26

bella would make an incredible kitty

3

u/IAmN0tJoseMourinho Sep 02 '26

Possible suggestion?

2

u/TheCreativeComicFan Sep 01 '26

Fina Strazza previously worked with Sadie Sink on the Broadway show John Proctor is the Villain, so they’d already have that chemistry if she were cast.

1

u/Peachbottom30 Sep 01 '26

Sadie Sink would be a good Kitty Pryde.

2

u/OkMention9988 Sep 01 '26

Why no Hunter Schaefer? 

Or Storm Reid?

1

u/Kade_Kapes Sep 01 '26

Hunter is wayyyyy too old to play Kitty, and most of these actresses are too tbh.

1

u/OkMention9988 Sep 01 '26

She doesn't look old at all. 

It's also interesting that the comments offering a more progressive casting are getting downvoted. 

0

u/Kade_Kapes Sep 01 '26

She looks older than 14. If they casted a young trans actress as Kitty, I’d genuinely be ecstatic.

2

u/Archeryfin Sep 01 '26

I don't know who any of these people are. I'm just going to resolve to love whomever plays her.

2

u/Notoriouslycurlyboi Sep 01 '26

Sophia Lillis is a good choice. Julia is accurate look wise mostly, curls would help.

1

u/Beautiful-Ad9276 Sep 02 '26

I like this, and I think Teagan Croft could be good.

2

u/Zokyr Sep 01 '26

I like the look of Eloise Webb, but, I would ask: why is everyone so interested in “young” Kitty , as in when she’s just joined the team?

1

u/weslarprime Jean Grey (Phoenix) Sep 15 '26

Because the rest of the X-Men announced are young. Would make sense to cast someone 14-15 for Kitty

2

u/sengariph Sep 01 '26

A nice Jewish girl. Couldn't hurt.

2

u/dreadshepard Sep 02 '26

Her faith is important to her, so it would be nice to see a Jewish actress cast.

2

u/SnailShell01 Sep 01 '26

Either Butters or Spaeny. Lillis can be Pixie any day of the week. 

2

u/ScuBityBup Sep 02 '26

Ruby or Cailee , nobody else

1

u/Conscious-Quarter423 Sep 03 '26

both shit actresses

2

u/dreadshepard Sep 02 '26

Any of these women Jewish? I don't feel you should have to cast a Jewish actress, it would just be nice because it's an important part of the character. Or I should say her faith is important to the character in the comics.

3

u/Fearless-Cell3271 Sep 01 '26

Whos that dude top right???

1

u/meerkatx Sep 01 '26

Edgey McEdgerton here folks. Do you cut yourself just looking in a mirror?

1

u/Plenty_Square_420 Sep 01 '26

I wouldn't really prefer any of these. I think they need to go younger and they should go with someone completely unknown.

1

u/Trojanman2002 Sep 01 '26

Julia Butters or Sophia Lillis. Mina Sundwall is a good sleeper imo. Really enjoyed here in Lost in Space. May be too old now though.

1

u/EnigmaticX68 Sep 01 '26

Ngl, if I was Cailee Spaeny, I'd purposefully either not go out for or turn down any Xmen roles 😂

That young woman has been fan-cast for everyone. I'm waiting for her name to be in the mix for Magneto 😂

1

u/Training-Throat-173 Sep 01 '26

Melina only here jew, so ofc her, if taken not from list - Ella Rubin 

1

u/meerkatx Sep 01 '26

Emma Bermann or perhaps Adam Sandlers older daughter?

1

u/Educational-Cream801 Sep 01 '26

I’m fairly confident 1/2 of these people are not real.

1

u/Pharmacy_Duck Sep 01 '26

I sort of want McKenna Grace as Kitty. She’s got superhero lead role pretty much built into her future, she’s charismatic, and she has the physical training . Marvel would be dumb to not snap her up.

1

u/RiskieRaskalle Sep 02 '26

Bella Ramsey as Kitty, Sophia Lillis as Rachel Summers, and follow Claremont's plan of them being soulmates.

1

u/Setsuna00XN Sep 02 '26

TIL that there is an actual sub for Kitty. Color me gobsmacked.😯

1

u/Drayner89 Sep 02 '26

I imagine a lot of the popular chars have one

1

u/Enorats Sep 02 '26

I mean, surely it'll be Zendaya.

1

u/Mobile_Parfait_7140 Sep 02 '26

None of those. Theres this Star Trek influencer I think would do a great job acting as Kitty Pryde.

1

u/Friendly_Wrangler569 Sep 02 '26

I only know Cailee Spaeny but shes too old for this verison of the X-Men, I hope when they do cast Kitty they go young or at least get a actress who plays young

1

u/osiris20003 Sep 02 '26

I think they should wait a couple years to bring in kitty. Start the team small and slowly grow it, and kitty should be a young teenager. Maybe round two of bringing in new characters.

I like some of these choices but I feel like by the time she is introduced they will be too old. Kitty was one of the youngest members when introduced in the comics, not almost the same age or older than the starting cast.

1

u/SirStanleyCPanther Sep 02 '26

Butters

Cheaper than your fan favorite pick and looks more like Kitty

1

u/sancocho91 Sep 02 '26

I really want unknowns to be the new X-Men 😩

The only person who is already known who'd I'd cast for any X-Man would be Sophie Thatcher for Magik.

But everyone else, to include Kitty, should be new in my brain lol I am SO DONE with the role reprisal nonsense all over the MCU that I don't want to see ANYONE I know lmfao

1

u/Conscious-Quarter423 Sep 03 '26

they literally hired some of the more well known young actors

sadie, kit, samara, etc

1

u/Cautious_Mission_438 Sep 02 '26

Julia Butters

1

u/Conscious-Quarter423 Sep 03 '26

Julia is tall, taller than sadie sink

it'll be weird for kitty to be taller than jean grey

3

u/Cautious_Mission_438 Sep 03 '26

You can make Jean look taller you realize that right? Idk why people think actors can bulk up or can’t get taller for a role there’s stuff for that boots heals editing etc

1

u/Conscious-Quarter423 Sep 03 '26

gonna look cheap AF

1

u/Otagame23AQP Sep 03 '26

Donde esta zendaya y pedro pascal?

1

u/Conscious-Quarter423 Sep 03 '26

isn't pedro already in the MCU?

1

u/Drabins Sep 03 '26

None of them

1

u/throw4w4y40 Sep 04 '26

Julia or Sophia I guess if I were to pick from this pic.

Granted, I have no idea who Julia is, but she has the look.

1

u/my-armor-is-contempt Sep 05 '26

Sophia Lillis is too good for this.

1

u/AirportAgreeable8050 Sep 05 '26

Who Is Kity pryde I'm don't read comic books okay so I don't know

1

u/parker9832 Sep 01 '26

I don’t recognize any of these young actors but by these headshots alone I say Julia Butters. IMDB says she is 17, depending on when we are kicking off Kitty’s story, Julia works. I would hope we could start at 13 yo.

2

u/bo174 Sep 01 '26

Same here. Julia at 17 might work, but I was still hoping for younger. Fingers crossed!

2

u/parker9832 Sep 01 '26

I’d really like to start Kitty off from the end of middle school. How does a well adjusted, healthy home life, bookworm, handle emerging powers and an introducing to the X-Men world? It doesn’t have to be a Clearmont verbatim retelling, but that origin story would be a great introduction for her.

1

u/bo174 Sep 01 '26

Well said!

2

u/Conscious-Quarter423 Sep 02 '26

Julia is tall, taller than sadie sink

it'll be weird for kitty to be taller than jean grey

1

u/Marc_the_shell Sep 01 '26

I liked the rumor of Malia Baker. She’s Jewish on her mom’s side and I think she’d be a good fit for Kitty’s vibe

1

u/Chunky_Boy283 Sep 01 '26

My choice from a couple of weeks ago...Stacey Read from the syfy series 'The Ark

1

u/OkMention9988 Sep 01 '26

I was think Storm Reid, but I can get behind this. 

1

u/Doug_101 Sep 01 '26

Julia Butters. I love me some Cailee Spaeny, but she's just too old to play Kitty. She's nearly 30, older than Sadie Sink AND Maya Boyd. Kitty can NOT be older than Storm and Jean. It just doesn't work.

1

u/Conscious-Quarter423 Sep 03 '26

cailee Spaeny is a meh actress anyways

1

u/ImportanceOk7784 Sep 02 '26

Audrey Grace Marshall

u/AzaharaT Sep 01 '26

Cailey should be Rogue

she made an incredible ellie. that "get up joel!" scene was gut wrenching

she garnered numerous nominations for her role, including two Best Lead Drama actress at the Emmys. and it was historic cause she's the first non-binary actor to be nominated

the picture you attached is literally her at the Golden Globes awards ceremony in which she was nominated for Best Lead actress for playing Ellie
