The art, shared by spdrmnkyxxiii, puts Margaret Qualley in a comic-accurate costume as Rogue, with a yellow top and gloves, a green jacket, and her trademark white streak in her hair. Qualley has taken on some brilliant roles since portraying Jill Garvey in The Leftovers, gaining more and more attention, so it would make sense for a role in the MCU to be next. While Qualley’s home state of Montana is a long way from Rogue’s roots in Mississippi, Qualley would be an inspired choice for the role, and she could finally bring a faithful adaptation of Rogue into live-action.
In 20th Century Fox’s X-Men franchise, now known to be set on Earth-10005, Rogue was portrayed by Anna Paquin. While she was a central character throughout the franchise’s original trilogy, acting as the audiences eyes and ears when introduced to the X-Men and Charles Xavier’s school, she was far removed from her Marvel Comics counterpart, which caused some controversy. Margaret Qualley’s youthful and charismatic roles in projects such as Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Nice Guys, Maid, and Poor Things have proven she’d be a fantastic choice for Rogue, and The Substance demonstrated her leading lady potential.
