While the character appeared in cameos in
X-Men and
X2 it wasn't until
The Last Stand that the character of Kitty Pryde stepped into the cinematic spotlight played by
JUNO actress Ellen Page. That film however left a lot to be desired and when it came to
X-Men: Days of Future Past due to continuity and also FOX's custom Pryde's role in that story was sidelined in favour of Hugh Jackman's Wolverine.
Well the character might finally be getting her proper due as it was reported some time ago that
Deadpool director Tim Miller had been working on a Kitty Pryde project over at FOX as a producer with a line to aslo direct, it's unclear at this point the approach that Miller will take and not much is known about the project in general.
One of the biggest questions naturally is where in the X-Men timeline this film will take place and whether Ellen Page will return as the eponymous X-Person. While talking to
CinemaBlend about her upcoming horror film
The Cured, Page had this to say about returning to the role:
“I loved playing Kitty Pryde, and I think one of the things I always felt was I wish I could have done more. My experience in the films wasn’t necessarily that extensive and she is such a great character. I don’t know anything about the movie to be honest with you, but yeah, of course, that’s something I’d love to do, but I don’t know.”
What do you think? Would you like to see Page reprise the role? Or who do you think would be a better Kitty Pryde? Are you looking forward to this film in general? What would you like to see? Leave your thoughts below.
