Rogue, whose real name is Anna Marie, is originally from Mississippi and has the ability to temporarily absorb others’ powers and memories, according to Marvel Comics.

Navarrette joins the cast alongside Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, Kit Connor as Cyclops, Christopher Abbott as Prof.X, Samara Weaving as Emma Frost, Maya Boyd as Storm, Asa Germann as Angel, and Adam Driver as Mr.Sinister.

In addition to her role in the X-Men reboot, Navarrette will star in Apple Original Films’ sci-fi thriller The Waffle House Index, which she will also executive produce.
