Ana de Armas may be the next major star to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Industry insider Daniel Richtman claims the Ballerina actress is currently being eyed for a part, sparking intense fan speculation over which character she might portray.
Online discussions point toward one particularly high-profile character: Rogue. The fan-favorite X-Men mutant has the ability to absorb powers and memories with a single touch. As of now, Marvel has not confirmed any casting. However, the prospect of de Armas stepping into such an iconic role has excited many fans.
The timing seemingly aligns with Marvel’s long-term plans. Disney’s 2019 acquisition of 20th Century Fox returned the X-Men rights to Marvel Studios. Though a few mutants have already appeared in the MCU, their full introduction is expected to arrive in Phase 7. Rogue, previously portrayed by Anna Paquin in Fox’s X-Men films, is expected to receive a new iteration in the reboot. (via Dexerto)

According to PEOPLE, “Ana loves Vermont. It’s her place to rest and recharge. She was excited to host Tom and show him around. She took him to all her favorite spots.”
