After her standout role in 2024, Margaret Qualley is being envisioned as an eagerly awaited X-Men character before the character’s potential debut into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Lately, there has been a lot of buzz about who could be chosen to play the MCU’s official X-Men squad member, with whispers suggesting a younger lineup for the mutant superhero group. Margaret Qualley is being considered as a possible cast member due to her breakthrough performance in The Substance, and recent fan art depicts Qualley as none other than Rogue.
In the artwork by spdrmnkyxxiii, Margaret Qualley is depicted in a costume reminiscent of Marvel Comics’ Rogue character. She sports a yellow top and gloves, a green jacket, and a distinctive white streak in her hair. Since making a strong impression as Jill Garvey in The Leftovers, Qualley has garnered increasing acclaim, leading some to speculate that she may soon join the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Although Montana, where Qualley hails from, is geographically distant from Rogue’s Mississippi origins, many believe she would be an excellent fit for the role and could bring a faithful live-action interpretation of Rogue to life.
In the 20th Century Fox’s X-Men series, which takes place on Earth-10005, Anna Paquin played the role of Rogue. Throughout the original trilogy, she served as a key character, guiding audiences through their initial encounters with the X-Men and Charles Xavier’s school. However, her portrayal in the franchise differed significantly from her counterpart in Marvel Comics, leading to some debate. Margaret Qualley, known for her captivating performances in films like Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Nice Guys, Maid, and Poor Things, could make an excellent Rogue given her talent. Moreover, her role in The Substance showcased her ability to lead a production.
In my opinion, Rogue could take center stage in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s X-Men narrative, receiving more focus than she did in the Fox’s X-Men series. It might be intriguing to see Rogue initially portrayed as a villain, similar to her comic book origin. This could involve her acquiring Captain Marvel’s abilities and eventually joining the X-Men, transforming into a powerful hero. Margaret Qualley has shown she can convincingly play both good and evil characters, as evidenced in The Substance’s Sue.
There’s been talk that Margaret Qualley might be part of a group that includes Harris Dickinson, Jesse Plemons, Hunter Schafer, Julia Butters, and Sadie Sink in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as the X-Men team. Among them, Sadie Sink from Stranger Things is slated to make her MCU debut in Spider-Man: Brand New Day in 2026, although it’s uncertain if she’ll play Jean Grey as previously speculated. It won’t be much longer before Marvel Studios gives official updates on the X-Men cast, so it’s possible that Qualley will soon be confirmed to be joining the MCU.
