According to reports, Elle Fanning in the race for the role of the main X-Men in the MCU

The X-Men are coming and Marvel fans are already analyzing every voice, theory and ignition of casting. While the old team of the fox era should make a multivale splash Avengers: DoomsdayMarvel Studios is clearly building towards his final version of the X-MenAnd a family name has returned to the mix.

According to the Insider Entertainment Jeff Sneider on the Podcast Hot Mic with John Rocha, Elle Fanning It is once again taken into consideration for an important role in the future X-Men range of the MCU. In particular, according to what reports from the eyes for Jean Gray, one of the most iconic and complex characters of the mutant canon.

Sneider mentioned that Fanning is on the next list Margaret Qualley AND Daisy Edgar-Jonessaying the Predator: Badlands The actress is “Back on the list” for Jean with the new class of mutants of Marvel.

The potential connection of Fanning to the role is not new. Previously he was in the running for X-Men: Apocalypse Before the Disney-Fox merger, a part that in the end went to game of Thrones star Sophie Turner. The reason? Apparently, they were Instagram followers.

Fanning said on the Podcast Happy Sad confused in May 2023: “I tried for … I’m not going to say what it was, but once I didn’t have a part for something great because – it may not have been this reason, but this was the feedback I heard – it was because I didn’t have enough Instagram followers at the moment.”

“So it was a bit like … I don’t firmly think I don’t have a part [for that]. It was for a bigger thing, something in franchise. “

Turner later confirmed that situation with his own words: “I auditioned for a project and was between me and another girl who is a much better actress than me, much better, but I had the followers, so I got the job. It’s not right, but now it’s part of the film industry.”

With the Marvel Studios preparing for what is not officially called “saga mutant”, it seems that the X-Men will be a fundamental part of the next chapter later Avengers: Doomsday AND Avengers: Secret Wars.

Kevin Feige He made fun of a long -term roadmap for mutants, saying that Marvel is throwing a 10 -year -old plan, just like he did with the Infinity saga.

We are still in a territory of voices here, but with Stranding of death 2 And a constant flow of acclaimed performances to his assets, Fanning is riding a new wave of visibility and critical respect. If he landed the role of Jean Gray, he would score a poetic return to a part for which he had once been broadcast, this time only on talent.
