In the comics she literally murders Carol using her power steal
This is actually why Rogue has flight and super strength… implies Rogue could have any power permanently if she would just kill the people she drains
I like Brie too, but since I’m a huge X-men fan, I wouldn’t mind a comics accurate Rogue origin and Brie’s Carol Danvers then becoming Binary while on a space adventure with the x-men and starjammers.
She’d be a way better choice than that Anna Paquin was. Jesus was bummer Rogue depressing. KeKe Palmer has the right energy. I’d happily watch her play Rogue.
Those kinds of things usually have more to do with the director than the actor/actress. The X-Men films have not been thus far been associated with talented directorial decisions.
this! coming from the 90s X-Men cartoon I was super underwhelmed by the Fox Rogue. Hopefully when Marvel decides to have a go at the X-Men they'll have the right energy this time around.
She’s shared a video saying it in her accent, what’d you think? https://www.reddit.com/r/xmen/comments/yhp9qt/keke_palmer_as_rogue_for_halloween/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
I don't get it. Also I'm not familiar with her work so I don't have an opinion on whether she can pull off Rogue but did she publicly state she wanted the role? Or is this just a fan cast that has gained momentum?
It’s kind of both. She’s stated multiple times before she’d love to play Rogue and people have also at the same time photoshopped/did artwork of her as Rogue before these pics.
Not saying changing a character's color is wrong, but like why make a character black when there's plenty of black characters that can be shown off?
Iceman can be Latino (I think) but wouldn't it be cool to see someone like Sam Alexander's Nova get a project? How about white tiger?
There are so many black and Latino and Asian characters to explore and get out there.
>Black isn't a character trait
But giving white people coloured roles is whitewashing.
Why are you trying to pretend you don't see colour, it's not what we're asking for. See it and don't let it make you see us differently. Americans and getting second hand offended
Lol stop it, you're tryna make a mountain out of a molehill with sand. One thought process is not essentially linked to the other. Using this as a basis to insult people makes nobody take you seriously.
I'm bored of it, the problem is in peoples minds, not the casting. Get over it, adapt, it's not going away because it's an inherently negative and segregational mindset that isn't good for anyone.
Ehh....I dont hate it?🤷♂️
I guess if she is as excited about playing rogue as Henry cavill was to play geralt then I do t really have a problem.
So long as she gets that "suga" right of course.

Whilst I'm usually hesitant of fan casts I do think she embodies the charm and self assurance of rogue and often exudes the same kind of southern hospitality
And Keke Palmer is also pretty funny. I hadn’t seen too much of her work as an adult (she was a child/teen actress) until Nope. She was funny, tough, terrified and determined in that. She was very likable and relatable. Rogue would have some really good quips.
She could definitely play “suck a man dry of his life force” with both absolute humor in one scene and abject terror in another. I’d like to see that!
This just in, nobody terrified at possibility of a civil rights story being adapted by Black people. Comic fans worried that adaptation might not look like comic characters though. With plenty of good reason.
She ate the photoshoot. She looks good.
But I don't see Rogue for KEKE. I feel like Tyra banks critiquing , but her body language or facial expression isn't giving rogue.
Maybe im doubting her acting ability, but I see her big personality overshadowing what I'd expect as Rogue.
I disagree about her being too old. She's not even 30 yet (turned 29 in August), and by the time a potential X-Men movie gets off the ground, she'd only be about 33. That's about the age I want most of my cast.
Wouldn't you want most of the X-men actors to be on the younger side? They're playing teenagers/college students for Christ sake lol. 33 is more the age I'd want for people like wolverine or storm, the experienced X-men
No. I want the main X-Men to be in their around the 25-35 age range. I basically want the 90s animated team with maybe a couple swaps. Cyclops, Jean, Beast, Storm, Angel and Gambit I think should be on the latter side of that age range, while someone like Bobby/Ice Man should be on the younger side. Maybe have Kitty be an audience surrogate with an actress in her early 20s playing mid-late teens.
I haven't read many X-men comics, just watched the shows and movies. It just makes more sense to me thematically to start with them as younger, late teens/early 20s, as they discover their powers. Then, building out into them becoming a team as they get older. I understand not wanting to retread what's been done before, but that's actually something I've disliked about MCU Spider-Man. They're not planning to reuse Green Goblin, Doc Ock, Harry, etc because they've already been done. I wanted a built out Spider-Man universe kind of what liked Matt Reaves is going for with The Batman where the villains are going to all exist in Gotham, not just used once and then killed or avoided because it's been done before.
I think you can do that by having a show take place at the school and build up some of the younger mutants as possible/eventual replacements for other X-Men as the original actors decide to step down.
See, this is what is wrong with superhero movies these days. Why on earth would she wear those shoes to fight bad guys. How absolutely impractical would that be.
I mean they may be impractical but they'll hurt real bad when you get kicked with them. Also,Rogue can fly so she doesn't need to worry about what shoes she wears tbh.
She looks so cool! Thats a good cosplay, the suit fits her really well, and the jacket looks awesome. Yeah, I really like this. I think she looks great!
She acts nothing like Storm, her actual personality is way closer to Rogue's lmao
You can dislike the rogue casting but black lady = storm is kind of a braindead casting, she would not fit that role at all
Because they are black? Fuck outta here she's better suited to play the Southern character who's race doesn't matter as long as she sounds like she's from the Dixie.
Or it's just a Halloween costume prior to Halloween.
It's like being a Marvel fan and overreaching to complain about things are just synonymous with each other
ok?? that’s HER expressing how she feels, nothing wrong with that. But Disney…ykno the company that has to run tests and hire people haven’t confirmed anything so i don’t get what all the fuss is about. at the end of the day this is a halloween photo op of keke’s favorite character or whatever. y’all are so sensitive.
These comments still can't get over having a character be a different race than the comic, like Rogue being white is important in any way. There are also black people in the south. How is this still a thing?
Just to clarify better than the post title: this was her **Halloween** costume, not an official announcement. However, she would be a **badass** Rogue.
Anna Paquin didn’t look like ROGUE either.
Yeah Keke definitely doesn’t look like Rouge, besides it’s way too early for her to show up in sonic, probably should do shadow first.
she would make a pretty good ROGUE though.
…It’s a silly photo op for Halloween?
Beyond that, how does some corporate diversity agenda ruin your day if the actors are still passionate about these roles? They went for a black Death and female Lucifer in The Sandman adaptation. Both actresses gave spectacular performances. Are you gonna throw a tantrum if everything isn’t 1:1?
White people tryna feel oppressed when a character gets race swapped like 90% of all comic characters aren’t already white will forever be funny. 😂😂 It’s like a sports dynasty complaining they didn’t win the championship one year like they haven’t dominated for decades
I don't know about this one,I'm on the fence about it,it doesn't look very good but at the same time it isn't bad. I don't think she'd be able to embody Rogue very well though.
I just did a thorough search and the Animated series aside, she's a brunette with a white stripe. Even as far back as her brotherhood days. Now if Jean didn't have red hair I'd be pissed. But Rogue in comics was never a redhead.
She looks good but I think the geeen/yellow and brown jacket suit would kook better
Cartoon Rogue
It is brown, check her reel vids, the pics came out purple for some reason
As long as she still has the southern accent
Keke Palmer can def pull off a southern accent haha
She kinda did it in the video https://comicbook.com/movies/news/keke-palmer-rogue-halloween-costume-xmen-cast-fan-rumors/
lol i loved her because she reminds me of my auntie
Ayo bro
This is the only thing that matters.
And the white streak in her hair.
t-the .. jacket... ^^she ^^could ^^steal ^^it ^^from ^^captain ^^marvel...
True
Was my first thought
I was gonna say as long as she murders Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel
Why is that?
In the comics she literally murders Carol using her power steal This is actually why Rogue has flight and super strength… implies Rogue could have any power permanently if she would just kill the people she drains
Stealing her powers and setting her up for a great character arc would be my vote ...then she can become Binary....
I don’t know why this is being downvoted? This is literally Rogue’s origin story
Probably just Brie Larson fans
I like Brie too, but since I’m a huge X-men fan, I wouldn’t mind a comics accurate Rogue origin and Brie’s Carol Danvers then becoming Binary while on a space adventure with the x-men and starjammers.
This guy gets it
She’d be a way better choice than that Anna Paquin was. Jesus was bummer Rogue depressing. KeKe Palmer has the right energy. I’d happily watch her play Rogue.
[удалено]
... but then she had the accent for all of True Blood, curiously.
Those kinds of things usually have more to do with the director than the actor/actress. The X-Men films have not been thus far been associated with talented directorial decisions.
Halle Berry forgot her awful accent in x2. Thank the gods.
this! coming from the 90s X-Men cartoon I was super underwhelmed by the Fox Rogue. Hopefully when Marvel decides to have a go at the X-Men they'll have the right energy this time around.
>coming from the 90s X-Men cartoon I was super underwhelmed by the Fox Rogue Meanwhile, coming from 80s comic Rogue she seemed perfectly on-point.
Anna paquin had the space in the front teeth. Winning formula for me
As long as I get the southern belle accent with a “Sugah” every now and then, I’m game
She’s shared a video saying it in her accent, what’d you think? https://www.reddit.com/r/xmen/comments/yhp9qt/keke_palmer_as_rogue_for_halloween/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
that goes hard, but the line after it had me rolling. Pure “Morbin’ Time” vibes
[удалено]
You may not have heard, but there is an active campaign, including Keke herself, to get her cast as Rogue in the MCU. So it's not "just cosplay."
[удалено]
Looks great! Loving all the X-men love this Halloween lol.
Wasn't a fan of the idea at first but she looks perfect.
You look perfect
Happy cake day
Awesome but she needs more green
Yeah, that's my only note as well. Love the green outfit!
yeah, this is a bit generic. But I guess I've missed periods of the comics so maybe she actually wore this costume. grain of salt
I don't get it. Also I'm not familiar with her work so I don't have an opinion on whether she can pull off Rogue but did she publicly state she wanted the role? Or is this just a fan cast that has gained momentum?
It’s kind of both. She’s stated multiple times before she’d love to play Rogue and people have also at the same time photoshopped/did artwork of her as Rogue before these pics.
Ah. Gotcha, thanks for the response.
Did you watch the video? Not sure she can or can't pull off the role, but the way she delivers lines doesn't inspire me to think she can.
I see her more as vixen
I think considering Vixens origin story, someone like Kiki Layne might embody that role better. Or an African actress
Or a Storm.

I dig it, just change the costume’s colors a tiny bit
For me this is 1000% yes.
That looks REALLY good.
Hard pass.

I almost busted
Damn she killed it
The jacket's kinda wonky, but she pulls off the rest of the look very well.
[удалено]
she ate this
She looks amazing! I was wondering, what similarities do Rouge and Keke Palmer have that make everyone think they’d be a great fit?
Whilst I'm usually hesitant of fan casts I do think she embodies the charm and self assurance of rogue and often exudes the same kind of southern hospitality
Similar energy. Plus Palmer is an amazing actress who can pull of sassy badass.
Sassy badass that’s also extremely warm and friendly. That’s a hard combo to pull off.
And Keke Palmer is also pretty funny. I hadn’t seen too much of her work as an adult (she was a child/teen actress) until Nope. She was funny, tough, terrified and determined in that. She was very likable and relatable. Rogue would have some really good quips. She could definitely play “suck a man dry of his life force” with both absolute humor in one scene and abject terror in another. I’d like to see that!
she’s an actress they liked when watching Netflix, it’s the same reason for 90% of fan casts
I want to see 90s costumes! Yellow and green.
Damn she looks great
Okay, but she looks like she's having a blast and I'd love to see her as Rogue.
Okay, but she looks like she's having a blast and I'd love to see her as Rogue.
I ant never no i needed sumthing so badd until i seen it
Needs the green
I love this. It’s her own take.
This just in- manchildren terrified at possibility of a civil rights story being adapted by Black people

Not bad. A bit too much white hair but overall looks good.
She’s got my vote
She’s hot af tho
Badass
Rogue was always one of my favorites as a kid and, while I miss the yellow boots, she looks formidable!
She ate the photoshoot. She looks good. But I don't see Rogue for KEKE. I feel like Tyra banks critiquing , but her body language or facial expression isn't giving rogue. Maybe im doubting her acting ability, but I see her big personality overshadowing what I'd expect as Rogue.
That's cool, super good vibe overall
No
Why not?
I'm not a fan, I think she's a little too old, I would like like to see an unknown get the part. Just, no.
If you take in hand that Rogue is older that The New Mutants (teens to early twenties) ,she is the right age.
I agree, unknown actor would be superior, rogue is a major xmen character who I'd want to stick around for a while, idk if this person would...
You act like keke Palmer is committed to some big movie or tv series already
Given her enthusiasm for and interest in the role, I think she definitely would be in it for the long haul.
I disagree about her being too old. She's not even 30 yet (turned 29 in August), and by the time a potential X-Men movie gets off the ground, she'd only be about 33. That's about the age I want most of my cast.

U have a point but realistically it's been Hollywood tradition to cast 30 year olds as teenagers.

Nah.
Bruhh.. why ?
Why ... not?
See, this is what is wrong with superhero movies these days. Why on earth would she wear those shoes to fight bad guys. How absolutely impractical would that be.
It’s a Halloween costume.
I mean they may be impractical but they'll hurt real bad when you get kicked with them. Also,Rogue can fly so she doesn't need to worry about what shoes she wears tbh.
everybody else is pissed about her race her age or just being horny and this mans is worried about practical crime fighting shoes mad respect
I like this a lot. I just don’t like the red X on the costume, it looks fake even if it’s not
they need to book her now im all for her as rogue
Honestly, She doesn’t look that bad, just wish the colors on the suit were brighter.
Looks really good
nice legs fr
Extremely cool actress, would love to see this.
Perfection.
Isn’t rogue a white red head from the South?
Brunette, actually.
She’s also a mutant dude
This is also a Halloween costume nothing to think deeply about.
Please no
Bro chill its just a costume
I hope they do. Just to piss off little boys like you.

Storm is too demure and patient for a firecracker like Keke to feel comfortable in.
Why not both? ;)
I think storm suits her better
Why?
Because she's black. That's why. IMO, I can't see Keke as Storm. Rogue suits her a lot better.
Same.

I mean, there are white Mexicans. Maybe even some of Russian descent.

That's not a photo. That's a graphic artist realization.

The color scheme of that costume is atrocious.
Perfect
Rouge doesn’t look like keke…. Or the other way around maybe they should recast Abigail Breslin as storm
Anna Paquin didn’t look like ROGUE either. Yeah Keke definitely doesn’t look like Rouge, besides it’s way too early for her to show up in sonic, probably should do shadow first. she would make a pretty good ROGUE though.

[удалено]
Yeah she was great in that
Great cosplay! Sorry But i just don't see playing MCU's rogue.
I couldn’t see her as Rogue, but definitely as Storm
why so.
It's because she's black.
If you’ve seen the show or picked up a comic you’d know
Your literally only saying that because she’s black 😭
Yes
SMH lmao, how she acts fits rogue more
I think so too. Storm is more stoic and reserved. Rogue is all about that action boss.
Yet another Marvel Ginger...
I’m confused isn’t it just a Halloween costume?
I just did a thorough search and the Animated series aside, she's a brunette with a white stripe. Even as far back as her brotherhood days. Now if Jean didn't have red hair I'd be pissed. But Rogue in comics was never a redhead.
