Sources claim she turned down Heat 2 in favor of the X-Men role, which will see her starring alongside A-listers Christian Bale, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Adam Driver. Navarrette's casting has been met with widespread approval, with her voice actress from Rogue expressing excitement about the news. The X-Men role is expected to be far more lucrative for Navarrette, who previously earned a modest $20,000 from Obsession.",
