Who cares? Psylocke went from being a 'White' British (iirc) woman to Asian.​
Psylocke is 2 different women. They swapped bodies, one went comic dormant, the other had comic amnesia....blah blah blah, they switched back and are 2 different different people again. Betty is Betty and Kwannon is Kwannon.

Nah. I love lil Keke, but breh...Rogue thick af. And she always had a certain sex appeal. I don't think anyone can just slide in those boots like that
Ain’t no Pawg actresses like that tho. I think keke actually would work. Nothing about rogues back story is about race from what I remember. The only issue is that it’s not happening no time soon. Keke will probably be 42 by the time X-men hit the screen.

Psylocke is Eurasian
Olivia Munn is Hapa
nikkas just be typing and looking for “I gotcha moments” on this forum
Psylocke used to be Betsy Braddock, aka, Captain Britain's twin sister (she also WAS Captain Britain for a minute).......which means she was 'White'. Not Eurasian. She became Asian after she 'swapped' with a Japanese assassin from The Hand.

The movies retconned her origin and leads to YOUR confusion.

Hell, her eyes aren't even real. They're cybernetic and were implanted by Mojo.​

I know all that, chief. She was 'White', not Eurasian. Was reading X-Men since Giant-Sized #1.​

Rogue is supposed to be a PAWG. i usually don't give a fukk about these things but i gotta draw the line somewhere. If they don't pick a true Phat Ass White Girl, i will boycott this fukking movie!
She don't got a lot of ass (what white girl in hollywood does?) but wouldn't Sydney Sweeney be a half decent Rogue? She got the titties and the bimbo-ish sex appeal for it.

@Dafunkdoc_Unlimited is actually right about psyloche

They genetically altered her race in the actually storyline to make her Asian. I always thought that was a weird plot/origin but it's whatever.

I hate fan petitions to get some random actor cast the social media era is corny.
Fan Casting has always been a thing, but back in the day it used to be fans doing the fan casting, and not casuals just trying to get their favorite actress/actor a big role. People wanted patrick stewart to be professor x because they felt like he was born for that role.
I don't think i've ever watched keke palmer and thought, man she would be perfect as Rogue. .

While It would be a bit cliche to recommend her for storm , I always thought Angela Bassett was perfect for storm. not just in appearance, but she has the powerful voice that sort of reminds me of how storm was in the 90s cartoons. And Keke reminds me of younger version of Angela.

With Rogue i thought she was miscast in the og xmen films, we never really got the true southern belle charm of Rogue like in the comics. I think Jamie Pressly at one point would've been perfect for Rogue. Her character in my name is earl basically sounded like her imo.
