Kristen Stewart becomes the latest addition to the list of celebrities who openly expressed their thoughts against the MCU. Earlier, renowned celebrities like Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, and Anthony Hopkins have openly refused to accept Marvel movies as cinema. In a recent interview, Stewart claimed that working at Marvel sounds like a nightmare.
Although Kristen Stewart has stated that she may never do any MCU film until Greta Gerwig directs one, she would have been the perfect cast to play one of the strongest X-Men characters- Rogue. Over the years, the Bella Swan fame has been fan-cast in several Marvel roles. However, her acting skills and looks could have been perfect for playing Anna Marie in the MCU.
Can Kristen Stewart be a good choice for Rogue in the MCU?

Similar to other popular celebrities, Kristen Stewart has also been fan-cast in many Marvel roles. The popularity of the MCU and its rising roster of actors has encouraged ardent fans to fan-cast their favorite comic book characters. Stewart is often associated with Marvel characters like Magik, Sue Storm, and Black Cat, but nothing suits her quite likeRogue.
Rogue is arguably one of the best and strongest X-Men members, possessing the gift of absorbing the powers of other individuals. Earlier, Anna Paquin played the role of Rogue in 20th Century Fox’s live-action universe. With the MCU looking forward to introducing the mutants in their universe, it will be interesting to see how they showcase the superheroine.
In the comics, Rogue has proven to be the strongest mutant in several instances. Once she absorbed the powers of all the X-Men and the Avengers and singlehandedly saved Earth from a Celestial. Her strength of absorption almost makes her unbeatable.

It must be noted that there is also an emotional touch to Rogue’s character. For a long time, she considered her powers a curse for not letting her be close to her loved ones. Besides the superhero side of the character, Kristen Stewart could also have portrayed this emotional turmoil very well. However, her comments suggest that it is almost impossible for her to join the MCU.
