A ‘Stranger Things’ star is rumored to be a favorite to play Jean Grey in the new ‘X-Men’
Marvel Studios is set to reboot the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a new X-Men movie, and a star of hit series ‘Stranger Things’ could be part of the cast.
After two trilogies outside the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the X-Patrol is about to make its presence felt once again. Although we saw some cameos from the ancient mutants in "Deadpool and Wolverine," the group will soon rise in cinematic importance.
The House of Ideas has gambled heavily on the X-Men by launching a lot of different headers in the form of comics, which remains practically unpublished in the MCU.
Marvel Studios is set to reboot the MCU with a new X-Men movie, and reports indicate that Sadie Sink, who played Max in the hit Netflix series “Stranger Things” could be part of the cast.
According to Hollywood insiders, Sink is currently the favorite to succeed Famke Jansen and Sophie Turner in the role of Jean Grey, one of the most powerful mutants in the MCU.
