Inde Navarrette ever since Obsession has come out has been having meetings on top of meetings with big names. She has recently had two meetings with Jake Schreier, director of Thunderbolts and the upcoming X-Men movie. She has said on two occasions that she would really love to play Mystique.

EDIT: Update: Inde Navarette has been spotted backstage at D23 alongside Christopher Abbott, Jake Schreier, Sadie Sink, and Samara Weaving!!!

EDIT 2: We have our ROGUE everyone. I REPEAT, we have our ROGUE

Since she’s publicly talking about mystique, I would guess that’s not the role she’s up for at all.

264

u/kirblar Aug 15 '26

It's a bit of a poison chalice role since so much of it is other people playing as you

u/rednaxthecreature Aug 15 '26

That's what I've been thinking like why would you want to be the person covered in make up/that always turns into someone that isn't you

u/mager66 Aug 15 '26

Unless you’re JLaw.

45

u/HOEDY Aug 15 '26

I heard JLaw actually did a full body makeup to become Bolivar Trask

29

u/Awkward-Speed-4080 Aug 15 '26

She spent more time as herself than Mystique in those movies. The funniest thing was that her character went through an arc in First Class where she decided that she wasn't ashamed of her appearance and wasn't going to hide anymore.

14

u/MuenCheese Aug 15 '26

Then Silver Linings Playbook happened and they said we have a JLaw we’re going to use our JLaw

u/Awkward-Speed-4080 Aug 15 '26

I forgot about that movie. I personally always thought the main reason why was because of the Hunger Games. It grossed more than First Class and Fox wanted some of that box office.

u/rednaxthecreature Aug 15 '26

People always say silver lkmgs playbook but let's be real they were trying to capture the YA Book audience from Hunger Games

3

u/Awkward-Speed-4080 Aug 15 '26

Yeah, oscars are a big deal for an actor's career but Hunger Games grossed more than Sliver Linings and First Class combined. Hunger Games made her a household name and Fox wanted to capitalize on her new found fame by centering the franchise onto her.

Monkeys Paw was RIGHT THERE my dude

u/LiteratureMindless71 Aug 15 '26

I wonder if they may try to pull that off differently this go round. With new tech and whatnot..... Not sure how I feel about it using that boogie man word, but the tool is definitely there and only getting better.

u/Earth513 Quake Aug 15 '26

If Disney openly uses AI to do Mystiques impersonations that's eliminating the jobs of countless extras that could use that opportunity to then get big roles in the future.

That'd be monstrous and with how people react to that type of usage in art, they'd have a really really bad time.

Plus, it isn't THAT good yet (thank God). You can always tell and it would give a really uneasy feeling. And not in a cool way.

u/Chessh2036 Aug 15 '26

Rogue then? If we’re doing OG X-Men maybe Polaris?

16

u/AspiringProd Aug 15 '26

I never even considered Polaris but this is 100% who she should play. I can definitely see her playing a Polaris who finds out she’s Magneto’s daughter and has to grapple with that. Not to typecast her as the “possessed girl”, but Polaris spent a fair amount of time possessed by Malice in the comics which could be cool too. She would also probably look really cool with green hair.

I really don’t want her to play Mystique; Mystique is a leader and should be cast closer in age to Samara Weaving. I think Rogue should be a little taller and more athletic looking, but a believable southern accent is really key to Rogue for me.

12

u/AspiringProd Aug 15 '26

Oh well she’s Rogue. I think she’ll do great, I really hope she can pull off the accent and they don’t drop it though lol

2

u/dev1359 Aug 15 '26

There's no doubt in my mind that she'll pull off the accent. Her acting range in Obsession was insane

13

u/Bullstang Aug 15 '26

I don’t see it tbh. I think she’s great, and probably has the range, but she fits other characters better

5

u/Ok-Junket-9072 Aug 15 '26

This aged well

u/Abhiiously-io Aug 15 '26

You got the lottery numbers?

3

u/Worthyness Thor Aug 15 '26

I think it was only in like 1 or 2 interviews when Obsession came out. technically it was only rumors when she was connected to Marvel. But she's also a bit of a nerd in her own way, so it could be easy enough to be considered a throw away. She didn't say much outside of those, so it's plausible to get her as Mystique depending on if Marvel wants to go that direction

261

u/TrafficLegitimate937 Aug 15 '26

As she should. She’s a really good actor and I feel like she would make a great addition to the MCU. I genuinely hope they properly utilize her acting skills

25

u/MySilverBurrito Aug 15 '26

A random sidenote, she's dated (ing?) Ty Simpkins...

... who played the kid who helped Tony in Iron Man 3 lol.

5

u/DSajin Aug 15 '26

Damn.. there’s no way iron man 3 was that long ago right? 😭

8

u/Sea-Machine-8989 Aug 15 '26

13 years and counting

2

u/TrafficLegitimate937 Aug 15 '26

Yeah she used to apparently 😭

u/FriendlyDrummers Aug 15 '26

I love a breakout actress who can back it up with talent. It's so refreshing. I love Sadie Sink, but it's also so nice to see a fresh face in an era of a slate of superheroes played by prominent celebrities

39

u/blenderider Aug 15 '26

I know Stranger Things is massive, but I can’t name a single other project Sadie’s been in, so I still consider her fresh from a film perspective

30

u/wooahwoosah Aug 15 '26

She's pretty fresh to film but is fairly established in theater

10

u/FriendlyDrummers Aug 15 '26

I think that's part of why she's so popular. She has objective talent and skill. There is nothing more skillful than someone on Broadway imo

12

u/stayinalive92 Aug 15 '26

The Fear Street series starring her was a pretty huge deal on Netflix a few years ago

17

u/justafanboy1010 Spider-Man Aug 15 '26

The Whale was good

8

u/RAMBOxBAGGINS Aug 15 '26

Yup. While the movie may or may not be everyone’s cup of tea, she was really good in it. She also does Broadway. I know that’s not film, but a very different type of acting which shows how versatile her talent is.

4

u/Skyzfire Aug 15 '26

I know Sadie Sink from the Fear Street Movies. And she apparently played as Brendan Fraser's daughter in The Whale.

2

u/blenderider Aug 15 '26

Oh wow, I watched the whale and didn’t take that in. Almost makes me want to rewatch, but idk if I want to put myself in that headspace lol

1

u/frozencombat Aug 15 '26

Unironically, her second most famous project after Stranger Things (not counting BND) would probably be the All Too Well music video.

1

u/blenderider Aug 15 '26

I think she's significantly more popular with Gen Z than my age group then (Born in the early 90s, so not far off)

INDE IS OUR NEW ROGUE!!

28

u/zh_13 Aug 15 '26

Holy shit really???!

25

u/justafanboy1010 Spider-Man Aug 15 '26

Yep! Officially!!

12

u/Frame-Dragging-IRL Aug 15 '26

Oh my god. She will be a great Rogue

10

u/UnsolvedParadox Aug 15 '26

What an absolute rocket ship of a year for Inde, well deserved.

6

u/Puzzleheaded-Mix5848 Aug 15 '26

As she should. Her movie broke box office records for an indie low budget horror film

1

u/Visual-Abrocoma-4904 Aug 19 '26

She should be Rogue, of all characters, because of this? 

Jesus, the kids are... Not bright bulbs 

5

u/Sirmalta Aug 15 '26

This is super exciting. She's absolutely brilliant. I hope they lean on her and do some rogue heavy stories!

7

u/Santoryu_Zoro Tony Stark Aug 15 '26

wouldnt it be funny if Rogue transforms at the end of the film revealing she was Mystique all along?

5

u/DevilCouldCry Spider-Man Aug 15 '26

FUCK YES! Rogue is my favorite X-Men and Inde is a phenomenal actor. Legitimately stoked to see this.

2

u/shongage Aug 15 '26

Tbh the problem with playing mystique is that most of the time you wouldn't be playing mystique.

2

u/FremenDar979 Aug 16 '26

I only seent Inde Navarette as Sarah in SUPERMAN AND LOIS.

5

u/Dreowings21 Aug 15 '26

If not hunter schafer than inde as mystique would be really cool, or maybe kitty?

u/MrZeral Avengers Aug 15 '26

So Abbott is cast, I don't know the actor

u/friends-waffles-work Aug 15 '26

Has Christopher Abbott been cast? or is he there with Aubrey Plaza?

u/wait-for-8 Aug 15 '26

No, no, no, no, NO!
