Included in the lineup of newcomers was Navarrette, the Obsession breakout who, <u>after weeks of rumors<\/u>, was officially picked to play Rogue.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">When she brings her take on the Marvel mutant&#8217;s power-absorbing abilities to the big screen in 2028, it will mark the first time the character has appeared in a live-action Marvel movie in more than a decade. It&#8217;s been a while since Anna Paquin last portrayed the character, so, naturally, Zann took to social media to welcome Navarrette to the X-Men family.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DcEiwwchiq1\/embed\" height=\"710\" width=\"612\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;Well, hey there, y&#8217;all,&#8221; she said, channeling Rogue&#8217;s instantly recognizable Southern accent. &#8220;This here is Lenore Zann a.k.a. Rogue of the X-Men, coming to you today from beautiful Dublin, Ireland. I just want to give a shoutout to Inde Navarrette, the actress who was just named to play Rogue in the upcoming Marvel movie of the X-Men.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;I can&#8217;t wait to meetcha, sugar! I will be coming back to North America in the next month, so I look forward to that day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Zann debuted as an animated Rogue in the original animated X-Men series and returned to play her in the Disney+ continuation series, <u>X-Men &#8217;97<\/u>. While also lending her voice acting chops for spinoff projects like Marvel Rivals, she&#8217;s stood the test of time as one of the more recognizable performances in Marvel&#8217;s long history of animated projects.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;Congrats from Dublin <u>@indenavarrette<\/u> on nabbin\u2019 the role of Rogue in <u>@marvel<\/u>&#8216;s upcomin\u2019 X-Men movie!!&#8221; the description of her post continued. &#8220;Can\u2019t wait to see what you bring to the role!<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;Look forward to meetin\u2019 ya, Sugah! Best of luck. Hugs and High Fives (gloves on of course!).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">It&#8217;s the kind of shoutout that will no doubt help viewers warm up to the idea of a new Rogue before Marvel Studios and director Jake Schreier deliver their X-Men in a few years, and Navarrette seems to have appreciated the gesture, too. The former Superman &amp; Lois actress replied to Zann&#8217;s post with two heart emojis, saying, &#8220;Hello! What a honor! Thank you for this kind message!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Zann got back to her, extending an offer to grab coffee once she&#8217;s back in town. She said, &#8220;Yer so welcome Sugah&#8221; I see a coffee in our future when I\u2019m back in LA.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><button type=\"button\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"jsx-2228525885\"\/><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">MCU X-Men Cast as of D23 2026<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"Inde Navarrette is Rogue.
