Marvel Mutant Mania: Bella Ramsey Rumored for X-Men Role After Pascal Family’s MCU Moves

BBG News

As “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” approaches release and Marvel Studios moves towards the realm of X-Men, the internet is buzzing with mutant excitement! A hint from a well-positioned quote and a whirlwind of new casting speculations have brought two familiar names, Lux Pascal (Pedro Pascal’s sister) and Bella Ramsey (her co-star from HBO), into discussions about Marvel’s potential interpretation of mutants. Their association with “The Last of Us” (available with a Max subscription) has piqued interest in their possible roles.

Who Does Lux Pascal Want To Play In An X-Men Project?

In a recent chat with The Hollywood Reporter, Lux Pascal discussed her breakthrough performance in “Miss Carbón” and her aspirations for what lies ahead. Among these dreams is a possible cinematic portrayal of Jean Grey, as Pascal expressed.

I have a profound connection with her on multiple levels – physically and emotionally. It seems as though she transforms into a Phoenix, symbolizing her corruption from the influence of the world around her.

Mentioning Pedro Pascal joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe and playing Reed Richards in the upcoming “Fantastic Four: First Steps” movie alone sparks fan discussions. However, the timing couldn’t be better, as this occurs just when Pascal is set to enter the MCU himself this summer. It’s intriguing to imagine the potential growth of the Pascal family’s influence within this sprawling superhero franchise.

What’s Going On With The Rumors Involving Bella Ramsey?

It’s intriguing that Lux Pascal’s remarks are mirroring buzz about Bella Ramsey, the Emmy-nominated star known for her role as Ellie opposite Pedro Pascal in The Last of Us. Although nothing has been verified, there’s a lot of talk suggesting she might be set to portray a younger version of Rogue or perhaps Shadowcat (also known as Kitty Pryde). MyTimeToShineHello of X has even hinted at the possibility. If true, these characters would be crucial for any new take on the mutant storyline, as they are fan favorites.

Personally, I’d prefer to watch the veteran “Requiem” actor match wits with Pryde, or perhaps portray a new character yet unseen on screen. In my opinion, these are the mutant roles that suit Bella Ramsey perfectly.

  • No-Girl (Martha Johansson) – Power: Disembodied brain with powerful telepathy
    • Why Bella? A tragic and deeply unique role—they could crush the emotional weight and inner strength behind this fan-favorite oddity.
  • Trance (Hope Abbott) – Power: Astral projection with explosive energy surges when stressed.
    • Why Bella? Trance’s struggle to control her abilities mirrors Ellie’s emotional volatility, perfect for the rising star’s intensity.
  • Wallflower (Laurie Collins) – Power: Releases pheromones that influence others’ emotions.
    • Why Bella? A soft-spoken mutant dealing with isolation and internal conflict, the performer excels at playing characters with layers of vulnerability.
  • Blindfold (Ruth Aldine) – Power: Precognition and telepathy, often cryptic and dreamlike.
    • Why Bella? This haunting, ethereal mutant would allow the English performer to go full cerebral. A fan-favorite New X-Men member ripe for screen debut.
  • Tempo (Heather Tucker) – Power: Time manipulation (can slow or speed time for others).
    • Why Bella? Often morally conflicted, sometimes heroic, sometimes not—Tempo’s complex arc would be a compelling vehicle for Ramsey.

Bella Ramsey has earned recognition as a fearless, multi-dimensional actress in both “Game of Thrones” and “The Last of Us.” This kind of talent could rejuvenate Marvel’s mutant characters. Moreover, she already possesses experience in major studios, critical praise, and a dedicated fan base.

What I find hard to shake off isn’t just the buzz about casting – it’s the striking similarity among these stories. With Pedro Pascal entering the Marvel universe, Lux expressing interest in joining the X-Men as Jean Grey, and Bella Ramsey reportedly being considered for a mutant role, it seems almost scripted. However, this coincidence appears too perfect to dismiss, particularly when considering how Marvel Studios often leverages established, dependable talent to construct their stories.

Keep an eye out as the elder Pascal sibling’s character, Reed Richards, is set to make his official Marvel Cinematic Universe debut with the release of the movie “Fantastic Four: First Steps” hitting theatres on July 25.
