The X-Men have found their Germann Angel
Asa Germann will join the graduates of Charles Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters as Angel in the MCU in 2028.
As the X-Men prepare for their upcoming reboot, Marvel is no longer hiding who they are casting for the film. The highly anticipated Spider-Man: Brand New Day introduced Marvel's first X-affiliated mutant, Jean Gray played by Sadie Sink, and soon after, casting announcements started rolling out. Adam Driver, Indira Navarette, Maya Boyd, Samara Weaving, Christopher Abbott, and Kit Connor have all been added to the cast for the upcoming Blackbird film. Asa Germann is now rumored to be in final talks to play Angel in the reboot.
Germann, known for her roles in The Boys' spin-off Gen V and Scream 7, would be playing Angel for the first time in an X-Men film since 2016's Apocalypse. Breaking from tradition, this will be the first live-action Angel not played by an actor named Ben, who portrayed the character in X-Men: The Last Stand and Apocalypse. Marvel's decision to take a risk with this casting choice shows they are still pushing boundaries even 20 years into the franchise.
The MCU X-Men film is set to hit theaters on May 5, 2028, and audiences can expect to see a fresh take on the beloved characters.
