Inde Navarrette is bringing a little Corpus Christi inspiration to her role as Rogue in Marvel’s upcoming live-action “X-Men” film.<\/p>\n
Following her breakout performance in “Obsession,” Inde Navarrette was cast as Rogue in Marvel’s upcoming live-action “X-Men” film.<\/p>\n
When asked about her approach<\/a> to Rogue’s iconic Southern accent, Navarrette said women she knew while growing up in Corpus Christi have served as an inspiration.<\/p>\n “I’ve never told this publicly,” Navarrette said. “I have a divorced family, so I grew up in Texas for a good majority of my life. So, those Southern women are really my favorite. Corpus Christi is the city specifically. I just remember the old Southern women that I really, really love.”<\/p>\n Navarrette said she also wants to visit Mississippi, Rogue’s home state, to study the accent.<\/p>\n “But specifically Mississippi, Rogue is from Mississippi, and I really want to go there,” Navarrette said. “I really want to do her justice.”<\/p>\n The X-Men will make their Marvel Studios debut on May 5, 2028. The film will introduce a new generation of mutants to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Navarrette taking on a role previously played by Anna Paquin in four films produced by Fox. The Associated Press<\/a> reports the cast also includes Christopher Abbott as Professor Charles Xavier, Maya Boyd as Storm, Kit Connor as Cyclops and Sadie Sink reprising her role from Spider-Man: Brand New Day as Jean Grey.<\/p>\n More from 3NEWS on KIIITV.com:<\/p>\n
