According to a new X-Men rumor, The Last of Us star Bella Ramsey is being eyed for the role of Kitty Pryde in the MCU. Following the culmination of Marvel’s Multiverse saga with Avengers: Secret Wars, the X-Men are set to enter the universe. So, Kitty Pryde could make her MCU debut soon. However, it has not yet been confirmed whether Ramsey is the first choice for the character.
Bella Ramsey possibly ‘considered’ for Kitty Pryde in MCU’s X-Men
A Hollywood scooper recently suggested that Bella Ramsey might join the MCU as Kitty Pryde in the X-Men reboot.
Renowned industry insider, My Time to Shine Hello, recently took to X (formerly Twitter) and stated, “Bella Ramsey is being considered to play Kitty Pryde in the MCU.” The scooper also asked for the fans’ views on the rumor.
One fan in the comments disapproved of the idea of Ramsey being the top contender to play Pryde and wrote, “No thanks. She doesn’t look like Kitty – and the actress for Kitty should be Jewish.”
On the other hand, another fan seemed happy with the choice and commented, “Interesting choice Bella’s got the range for it Let’s see how it plays out.”
However, Marvel Studios has not released any comments related to the rumor.
Pryde was previously portrayed by Elliot Page in X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men: Days of Future Past. The actor has previously expressed his love for the character. While talking to Cinema Blend in 2018, Page said that he “loved playing Kitty Pryde.” He further stated, “I think one of the things I always felt was I wish I could have done more.” Additionally, Page conveyed that he wanted to be a part of the X-Men reboot with James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, and more.
The mutant, who possesses the power of phasing through solid matter, debuted in the comic Uncanny X-Men #129.
