Are Stranger Things coming to the MCU? A recent rumor suggests that Millie Bobby Brown may be in talks to join the upcoming X-Men reboot.
With Stranger Things finally coming to an end, the big question on everyone's mind is where the cast will go next. Famously, Sadie Sink has found her way into the MCU with an undisclosed role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. However, she may not be the only member of the franchise making their way into the world of capes and cowls.
A rumor from MyTimeToShineHello suggests that Stranger Things breakout Millie Bobby Brown will be joining the MCU in the franchise's upcoming reboot of the X-Men. The scooper didn't reveal what character Brown may be playing. However, given she's a popular fancast for multiple mutants, there's no shortage of speculation to be had.
Perhaps the most popular fancast for Millie Bobby Brown is Kitty Pryde, aka Shadowcat. While she's the X-Men member fans likely jumped to upon hearing this rumor, it's not clear if Brown would be a good fit for the role in the reboot. Kitty Pryde is one of the most prominent Jewish characters in comics, with it playing an important role in her backstory. Given the MCU has gotten flack for casting non-Jewish actors for Jewish characters in the past, it's not clear if they'd roll the dice again.
Another prominent fancast for Millie Bobby Brown has been Rogue. It's a character that Marvel has been pushing hard over the last few years in comics, animation, and even video games, so it makes sense that they'd bring the character into the MCU with the X-Men reboot. Though, if true, it's likely a rumor about an actor for Gambit will be coming through sooner than later.
