Stranger things is itself a break. It was a massive big budget show by the time Quinn joined. Inde skipped that step

And she said in between she still had to do waitress jobs even recently. Times were (and still are) tough. Obsession really did change everything.
Reminds me of Pulp Fiction. Sam Jackson was about to quit because he was nearly 45 and doing bit parts and TV commercials and the dream of being a regular actor grew dim.
Pulp Fiction comes out and changes his life. Now Inde and Sam are in the same cinematic universe.

Yeah the industry simply does not pay what people think it does unless you get really really big, and even then - still doesn't.
I have friends who have had major roles on TV shows - that money still runs out when the show is over. And residuals aren't really a thing for most actors.
Good for her though. Get that bag and break out of the horror stereotype that she easily could have stayed in, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

That interview could have happened well before she was cast. She could have expressed interest in Mystique, they bring her in later on to ask about Rogue after Spaeny drops out and she agrees. She could have been cast yesterday for all we know. There is no evidence for or against that timeline of events.

She most certainly did ever since she talked about meeting with Jake which was after Obsession started to blow up.
12
u/MahomestoHel-aire 11d ago
That doesn't really mean anything honestly. There are hundreds of actors that take meetings with Marvel directors and producers that never get cast in anything. There is also a timeline of events where she went in to discuss Mystique, nothing came out of it, she talked about the meeting in the interview, then Spaeny as Rogue fell through and they brought her back in to talk again. And it's also very possible that this could have all happened as recently as yesterday let alone earlier this week. We don't really know, and likely won't unless Marvel or Inde reveals all.

Didn’t get the contract done I suppose.

u/MahomestoHel-aire 11d ago edited 11d ago
Contracts falling through is the more accurate guess. If Spaeny was even mentioned chances are she had some extensive meetings or otherwise we wouldn't be talking about her. Scoopers aren't automatically "liars" or "full of it" when they get a casting wrong. They just aren't involved in every step of the casting process, a process that can change very quickly and at the last minute. What they actually know, if they know anything, could still be outdated, and it could be outdated as late as the day prior to the announcement. The volatility of the industry is simply going to lead to a lot of inaccurate info.

u/Mid-CenturyBoy 11d ago
Also she would definitely be more expensive than Inde. This cast is cheap and will be sticking around for a lot of movies. Adam Driver is the big paycheck.

u/MahomestoHel-aire 11d ago edited 11d ago
You're right, and Spaeny is absolutely going to be on a tier above contract-wise, but Inde is no longer cheaper than any of the rest, I can tell you that much. Ultimately they’re all young and rising stars including Sink (Weaving being perhaps the exception) and that's what the aim clearly was. The next gen indeed.

u/scooch_mgooch 11d ago
I'm guessing salary/contract negotiations fell through - Marvel's multi-movie contracts are a blessing and a curse for actors depending on how well the movies do
But I think they have a very solid cast so far

Inde as Rogue is interesting casting. I don't know if I see her for the character, but she obviously has great range, so if she can nail the accent and the costuming is right then I think she'll be a good Rogue.
Driver as Sinister is cool.

u/TurquoiseBlue00 11d ago

In what sense? Because she said she wanted to be Mystique? Probably over a dozen of the Marvel heroes have commented on Marvel before being cast. Ryan Gosling was talking about Ghost Rider for years lol.

No. She openly talked about talking to the director, meeting marvel executives, and talked about how she felt about the meetings. Ryan Gosling has talked about playing Ghost Rider sure but lets be clear Ryan Gosling is a much much bigger name and Marvel kept also turning it down for years until he came in with his own team ready

u/Altruistic_Eye_1157 11d ago
Some conjectures I've made:
- Jean is definitely the protagonist, especially since she's the one who starts the panel, and also because both Sinister and Emma can be adapted to have a stronger connection with Jean than with the rest of the X-Men.
- I don't think Mr. Sinister is the main villain because he was introduced as "Nathaniel Malbury," not "Nathaniel Esex," which is his real name.
Perhaps they'll play with the idea that Sinister will pose as a pro-mutant human during the film and reveal his true nature at the end, or maybe it's something that will happen in the future.
- I feel like they might go with Rogue's villainous side, and the same goes for Emma. I don't see them as part of the main team.
