Bella Ramsey’s X-Men Role Revealed
As the countdown for the X-Men in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has begun, casting rumors have gained momentum. It has been suggested that Bella Ramsey, who has been praised for her performance in The Last of Us, is being considered for the mutant character Kitty Pryde, aka Shadowcat. Although no official statement has been made yet, according to reliable sources, Ramsey will have an important place in the new X-Men film.
Bella Ramsey Could Join the MCU as Shadowcat
The new X-Men film is directed by Jake Schreier, known for Thunderbolts, while the script is written by Michael Lesslie, the writer of The Hunger Games: Song of Birds and Snakes. The film will take place in the post-Avengers: Doomsday era and will open the door to a period in which familiar mutant actors from the Fox era will also return. This situation requires careful selection of new generation actors so that they do not remain in the shadow of the old cast.
Names like Julia Butters had previously been on the agenda for the role of Kitty Pryde. However, according to @MyTimeToShineH, who is known for her leaks in the industry, Ramsey is now a serious candidate for this role. Ramsey is 21 years old and is old enough to portray a more mature version of Kitty Pryde, a young character in the comics. This shows that there may be a different approach to the character’s reflection in the MCU.
Ramsey had previously stated in an interview that she wanted to play a bad character. Although Kitty Pryde is not a “bad” in the classical sense, Ramsey is known to be interested in more complex characters. This suggests that she has the potential to interpret Kitty’s evolution in a different way.
Although Marvel has not yet announced a clear release date for the film, it is estimated that the preparation process has accelerated and the cast has reached the final stage. If Bella Ramsey is chosen as Kitty Pryde, it will be a remarkable actress transfer for both the X-Men universe and the MCU. Fans are now eagerly waiting to see if this rumor will become official.
