\n\tInde Navarrette<\/a> is giving X-Men<\/a> fans a very early tease at her take on Rogue. <\/p>\n

\n\tAt D23 earlier this year, Marvel officially announced<\/a> the Obsession<\/a> star joined the cast of the upcoming Marvel<\/a> Cinematic Universe reboot. During a carpet interview with Canadian news program Etalk<\/a>, the reporter told Navarrette fans were \u201cdying to hear your Southern accent,\u201d and asked the actress if she could give a sneak peak at Rogue\u2019s iconic catchphrase \u201csugar.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOh!\u201d Navarrette said with a smile. \u201cYou know what? God bless me, I haven\u2019t done a lot of practice. But, ah! I mean, my version\u2019s just, \u2018Sugar,’\u201d she said while delivering the line. \u201cBut I think that, you know, I\u2019m gonna work on it, if you don\u2019t like it, and I\u2019m gonna figure out and talk to the Marvel team on what we wanna do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the Marvel Comics, Rogue\u2019s real name is Anna Marie, and she is originally from Mississippi. Her powers include the ability to temporarily absorb others\u2019 powers and memories, per Marvel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe new X-Men film is the first project Navarrette attached herself to after skyrocketing to fame this summer following the rise of Obsession. She joins the cast with Sadie Sink (Jean Grey), Kit Connor (Cyclops), Christopher Abbott (Prof. X), Samara Weaving (Emma Frost), Inde Navarrette (Rogue), Maya Boyd (Storm), Asa Germann (Angel) and Adam Driver (Mr. Sinister).<\/p>\n

\n\tJake Schreier will direct the movie that releases on May 5, 2028.<\/p>\n

\n\tOf signing on to portray the character of Rogue for the MCU\u2019s X-Men, Navarrette said on a recent episode of The Hollywood Reporter\u2019s Awards Chatter<\/a> podcast that she\u2019s looking forward to taking on the new persona.<\/p>\n

\n\tShe said, \u201cI also recognize that with acting comes the freedom of being a completely different person, one of those people being Rogue, Anna Marie\u2026 paying homage, paying respect to the incredible writers that are a part of Marvel, with Jake Schreier directing, taking what they want to do, adding my own sauce, and then going from there!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOutside of her ties to Marvel, the actress will next star<\/a> in Apple Original Films\u2019 sci-fi thriller The Waffle House Index, which she will also executive produce.<\/p>\n
