Since her breakout performance in Obsession<\/a>, Hollywood has been obsessed with Inde Navarrette. She was cast as Rogue in Marvel\u2019s X-Men reboot<\/a>, will host Saturday Night Live\u2018s upcoming Halloween episode, will star in the sci-fi thriller The Waffle House Index<\/a>, and could be a contender for Best Actress at the Oscars<\/a>. A few months ago, she met with two of her dream directors, Jake Schreier and Michael Mann, to discuss potential roles in their upcoming films. During a recent appearance on The Kyle Buchanan Show<\/a>, Navarrette debunked the rumor that she turned down a role in Mann\u2019s Heat 2. \u201cIs it true that you were offered Heat 2?\u201d Kyle Buchanan asked. In response, Navarrette said \u201cno\u201d and acknowledged the many headlines about it. \u201cI\u2019m glad that you brought it up because I can say it. No, I was not offered Heat 2,\u201d she said. \u201cI auditioned, I want to say, for two months from April all the way up until\u2014I don\u2019t know if it had gotten cast, but it was just kind of no longer a conversation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

During the interview, Navarrette said that she wasn\u2019t getting many projects before Obsession\u2018s release, but after the movie blew up at the box office, people in the industry started paying much more attention to her, and it\u2019s been \u201cgratifying.\u201d In a Nylon interview<\/a> published in July, the publication reported that Navarrette met with X-Men director Schreier and Mann, who was assembling his Heat 2 cast around that time. Then at D23 in August, Navarrette\u2019s casting in X-Men was officially announced. Days later, Page Six reported<\/a> that Navarrette was on the shortlist for Heat 2 but was no longer in contention because of her commitment to X-Men, leading people to assume she turned down Mann\u2019s follow-up to his critically acclaimed 1995 crime drama for a role in the MCU. Navarrette didn\u2019t mention which role she auditioned for, but Leonardo DiCaprio, Christian Bale, Adam Driver, Jason Clarke, Odessa Young, Stephen Graham, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach<\/a> have all been reported as being in the running or cast in Heat 2. Elaborating on her experience, Navarrette said that she submitted \u201cmultiple self tapes\u201d and asked for feedback. \u201cIt\u2019s with an insane cast and even if it was as small of a character, I just wanted to learn,\u201d Navarrette said. \u201cDefinitely didn\u2019t say no. But I think that\u2019s one of those opportunities where no matter how big you get, you\u2019re still gonna get told no.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Since her breakout performance in Obsession, Hollywood has been obsessed with Inde Navarrette.
