After her impressive turn as a British Intelligence Agent in Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, many fans hoped to see Rebecca Ferguson land the role of Bel Boudreaux alongside Channing Tatum's Remy Lebeau in the Gambit movie, but alas it wasn't to be. Deadline reports that the Swedish actress has taken herself out of the running to play Anna in the Tate Taylor-directed adaptation of Paula Hawkins' novel, The Girl On The Train, with Emily Blunt.

This means that - unless another contender emerges - the role of the daughter of the leader of the New Orleans Assassins' Guild will be played by either Lea Seydoux (Spectre), or Abbey Lee (Mad Max: Fury Road). The site makes no mention of which one might be the frontrunner.

Rupert Wyatt will direct the X-Men spin-off, which is on schedule to start filming in October, and is set to open in theaters on October 7, 2016.

Abbey Lee has a very creepy look to her,
I hope she is cast as another mutant someday, she's perfect for this franchise.

But I'm hoping for Lea Seydoux, she's so sensual, and sexy.
I can see her giving Gambit a run for his money in the charm department.

She was Oscar worthy in Blue is the Warmest Colour

Ive been rooting for Lea since the 1st rumour. But the more I look at her, the more I think she fits a 'hero' role, I mean... I cant help but think she would have been a GREAT Rogue.

I like Anna and would like to see her reprising her role with OTHERS directors, so they could make her justice, but..... Lea would have been an awesome Rogue, look wise and vibe wise, she has a great mix of qualities that would be perfect for an iconic version of Rogue

Are you crazy? Fox just landed Channing Tatum, who's a huge star.
Also, OSCAR ISAAC, an incredible actor.
I don't see the point in senselessly putting studios against eachother based on the talent they get?
Fox and Marvel Studios get amazing talent on board their projects. Let's just appreciate that.

He's psychotic.

And yes, my vote is for Lea Seydoux as well. Because then I can post this video without irony.

My pick would be Lea Seydoux, she seems like the best fit out of those choices. But I can't really say I'd want her to take the role, because I kind of feel she might be somewhat wasted in this movie.

@CherryBomb Lea Seydoux is on every studios radar after being cast in Spectre.

I could see Fox being eager to cast her in the movie.

She is French too, which is perfect because New Orleans is steeped in French culture.
