Obsession's Inde Navarrette wants Mystique

Throwing backhanded compliments Marvel’s way, Navarrette tells the podcast that Scherier’s MCU contribution, Thunderbolts*, brought the mega-franchise back to its “character-driven” roots, which is something she “used to love about Marvel.” Joining the growing chorus of people who believe the underperforming Thunderbolts* is one of the better MCU entries of late, she continues, “The whole time I just couldn’t stop gushing about how much I appreciated what he did with Marvel.”

But throwing cold water on fans hoping the next time they see Navarrette she’ll be blue as hell, she reminds listeners that “not all of those meetings turn into projects.” While Navarrette isn’t a lock for Mystique yet, other actors are calling dibs on X-Men characters. Earlier today, Deadline reported Samara Weaving is your new Emma Frost. Though Marvel has yet to confirm the casting, we hope previous Emma Frost, January Jones, isn’t making a Nikki face over the news.
