Keke Palmer Reportedly Considered for Major Role in the MCU, Sparking Fan Anger

The MCU has many upcoming projects that fans could look forward to. Despite recent criticisms of how they’ve handled some older characters, the studio seems determined to introduce many new ones.

According to recent rumors from reliable source Daniel Richtman, actress and singer Keke Palmer is being considered for a significant role in the MCU.

While we might want to play it safe and adopt a “wait and see” approach, it’s hard to ignore the idea of Keke Palmer potentially taking on the role of Rogue. As many social media users know, Keke has been a popular fan choice for this character for a while now. With the rumors of the X-Men joining the MCU gaining traction, it’s not far-fetched to think that Keke could be considered for such a prominent mutant role. Keke has even acknowledged the fan casting through fan art depicting her as the mutant.

She also expressed her interest in the role asking Marvel directly to be cast as Rogue.

That’s confidential, sugar. No, I’m kidding. I don’t know. I just know that the fans, the way that the fans have me booked, honey, online, I got to do a gig every week. So if we’re adding Marvel to it, hey, let’s do it. I’m ready for Rogue.

Keke potentially landing the role of Rogue wouldn’t come as a shock to many. So, when rumors began circulating that Marvel might be reaching out to her, fans reacted with a mix of emotions. Some were thrilled, seeing it as a sign that the studio was finally listening to their wishes, while others were furious.

Some criticisms may be valid, even if they’re not expressed in the most polite manner. However, it’s important to note that all of this information is still unconfirmed. Personally, I don’t believe Keke would be well-suited for the role of Rogue. What are your thoughts? Share them in the comments below!
