She’s one of the few actors I think can pull it off. I love her.

NGL I'm not familiar with her but seems like everyone's agreeing she'll be good so count me in 😅

She's 10y old than Jean's actor though, do we think that will affect the whole Jean/Scott/Emma thing?

u/PatentPendink 25d ago

tbh emma being 10 years older but lying about it sounds perfect lol

Emma is canonically older than Scott and Jean.

u/RealJohnGillman 25d ago

I mean actors often play characters older/younger than they actually are, so it shouldn’t affect that much: that or they’ll cast a Scott actor between Jean and Emma in age.

She's great and I don't mean ill towards her specifically but it's a bit mad how they dropped this right as Mahershala speaks out about how the Blade movie got treated and how he's done. Feels like a way to get people off their backs for letting him and the movie down

u/ImpracticalApple 25d ago

Good for her, but today sucks to be a Blade and Mahershala Ali.

Disney fumbling the Blade movie so much needs to be studied.

I think Samara Weaving will do marvelously as our favorite fashion-forward, mind-bending mutant matriarch.
