Can actress Gal Gadot participate in the X-Men?
While we are at it, why not imagine what Gal Gadot would look like as a redhead with blue skin? Casting the actress as the newest cinematic iteration of Mystique would make that a reality.
Previously portrayed by Rebecca Romijn and Jennifer Lawrence in Fox’s X-Men movies, Mystique has one of the most fascinating arcs of any mutant Marvel character, often unsure of whether her loyalty lies with Professor Charles Xavier’s peaceful cause or Magneto’s more divisive agenda in the war over mutant liberation.
The portrayal of an anti-hero with a serious identity struggle (not even counting her shapeshifting abilities) is one we have not seen from Gal Gadot, and one I would be intrigued to watch her tackle once the MCU reboots the X-Men, soon enough.
