Inde Navarrette Cast as Rogue in Marvel's X-Men Reboot

During Disney's D23 showcase, Marvel announced the cast for its forthcoming X-Men reboot, featuring Inde Navarrette, known for her role in the horror sensation Obsession, as Rogue. Joining her are Christopher Abbott as Professor X, Samara Weaving as Emma Frost, Adam Driver as Mr. Sinister, and Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, a character first seen in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Although Navarrette had shown interest in portraying Mystique, her casting as Rogue surprised many fans. Rogue, a mutant with a southern drawl, has the ability to absorb the powers of other mutants but cannot touch others without draining their life force. Previously, Anna Paquin portrayed her in Fox's early X-Men films. The film is scheduled for release on May 5, 2028, after Marvel's Doomsday and Secret Wars, which are anticipated to reboot the cinematic universe. Navarrette gained recognition for her performance in Obsession, a low-budget horror film that grossed over $488 million, experiencing a remarkable second weekend surge of over 30%, driven by social media buzz and TikTok memes.
