She was originally linked to play the live action Zelda from some random account and that blew up and a lot of "news" sites reported mainly to gain clicks

I think that was the one I was referencing. Thank you.

Overall, it's pretty transparent to me that some people actually want to be rage baited and feed on the hysterical anger.

Maybe they'll recast her as Helen of Troy.

Active voice would be more appropriate.

A site made up a rumor to generate clicks, which many people here stupidly decided to believe. Schafer was never linked to the roll.

The bigger question is if this is real (which it probably isn’t) why do they continue to try and pull Mystique to the front and center of the X-Men when you have so many more prominent characters to work with?

Storm, Colossus, Rogue, Kitty etc. have a lot more runway. The XMen are set for an Avengers 1.0 type build up if they cast and do it right with decades of material to work from.

A. Men.

Mystique is a boring character. Colossus, as you mentioned, is an excellent character who has never been portrayed properly. Deadpool had him as a boyscout, which isn't Colossus, at all, especially as his sister dies from the Legacy virus.

I'd love to see Forge in an X-Men movie. Johnny Depp is perfect for that character, and they both have American Indian heritage. Bishop is an interesting character, and we've never had a decent Sabertooth (Liev Schreiber, as decent an actor as he is, was not cut for that role).

You have dozens and dozens of interesting characters with quality arcs. Rogue needs to be revisited, too. Hell, even Iceman and Archangel are more interesting than fricking Mystique.

Now that I think about it, aside from Professor X, only Wolverine, Cyclops, and Nightcrawler have been done decent justice in the X universe movies.

This is very likely fake news. From what I've read so far, it appears Marvel will start with the very first group of Xmen in the comics: Xavier, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Angel, iceman and beast. No mystique, no wolverine.

Because they lucked into having Jennifer Lawrence under contract right when she became the hottest thing in Hollywood. If they ever truly reboot the MCU, they're gonna' put Iron Man front and center, even though it's not Downey and Iron Man was never the top Marvel dog in the comics. In the movies it'll be Wolverine and the X-Men featuring Mystique, and Iron Man and the Marvel Universe.
