The latest discussions among Marvel fans have sparked excitement about a potential new casting choice for the MCU’s future X-Men projects. With the recent success of ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,’ which showcased a profitable collaboration between Marvel and X-Men characters, the community is already speculating about what’s next. The film, directed by Shawn Levy, saw a stellar performance at the box office, with fans of both characters rushing to cinemas to witness the iconic duo in action.
As the buzz around ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ begins to settle, Marvel enthusiasts are turning their focus to other beloved characters. The subreddit r/MCUTheories has been particularly active, with fans rallying around the idea of a fresh face for the role of Katherine Anne ‘Kitty’ Pryde, also known as Shadowcat. A popular suggestion is for Mary Elizabeth Winstead to take on this role, especially if Marvel opts for an adult version of Kitty Pryde.

Shadowcat, who first emerged in ‘The Uncanny X-Men #129’ back in 1980, is known for her ability to phase through objects and simulate levitation. Elliot Page previously portrayed this mutant in ‘X-Men: The Last Stand’ (2006) and ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ (2014), but fans believe Winstead could bring a new dimension to the adult version of Kitty.
Comments on the subreddit suggest that while Marvel may introduce Shadowcat as a younger character, Winstead would be an excellent choice for an adult iteration. Fans praise her versatility, evidenced by her roles as Hera Syndulla in ‘Ahsoka’ and Ramona Flowers in ‘Scott Pilgrim vs. the World’. One fan expressed their approval, saying, ‘She can do anything. I approve.’
If Marvel decides to follow through with this fan-favorite casting, it would not only delight fans but also add a proven talent to their expanding universe. How Winstead would transition into the superhero realm is up for debate, but the anticipation is already building. As we’ve seen with previous castings, Marvel has a knack for making unexpected choices that pay off. With Winstead’s track record, she might just be the perfect addition to bring Shadowcat to life in the MCU.
