Keke Palmer has become one of the most in-demand actresses in Hollywood following her scene-stealing turn as Em in Jordan Peele's Nope.
With her profile continuing to rise, it probably won't be too long before the superhero movie offers come flooding in (if they haven't already), but Palmer recently set her sights on a somewhat surprising character.
After a fan shared a video explaining why he feels Palmer would be a perfect pick to play Rogue (as opposed to the heroes she's usually fan-cast as, such as Storm) in the upcoming Marvel Studios X-Men reboot, the Alice star responded with the following Tweet.
It doesn't happen very often, but actors expressing their desire to play certain characters does sometimes land them on a studio's radar, and ComicBook.com asked Palmer if Marvel Studios has been in touch.
"That's confidential, sugar," she responded, using one of Rogue's favorite endearments. "No, I'm kidding. I don't know. I just know that the fans... the way that the fans have me booked, honey, online, I got to do a gig every week. So if we're adding Marvel to it, hey, let's do it. I'm ready for Rogue."
Marvel Studios hasn't even begun to cast this elusive X-Men movie yet, and is unlikely to do so for quite some time. In fact, a recent rumor claimed that contractual issues are preventing Kevin Feige and co. from introducing new actors as established mutant characters such as Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, etc to The MCU, and they may not be able to move forward with a reboot until 2025.
That remains to be seen, but don't hold your breath for updates on this one until 2023 at the earliest.
