An MCU Star Already Nailed the Perfect Mystique Casting

During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter at the 2025 San Diego Comic-Con in July, Dafne Keen endorsed Sophie Nélisse as a fitting choice for Mystique in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). “I’ve been saying this, but I believe Sophie should play Mystique,” Keen said when asked about which character she thought would suit Nélisse. “She’d be fantastic as Mystique, she’s already sporting blue, I think she’d be excellent for the role. Somebody should cast her,” added Keen, who made her film debut as X-23 in Logan and reprised the beloved character in Deadpool & Wolverine. Her endorsement is sure to catch the attention of MCU producers.
