Anna Paquin wants X-Men: First Class role

Anna Paquin wants to go Rogue again, in the upcoming X-Men movie...

Published on Jun 4, 2009

Just the other day, we were reporting on Ryan Reynolds talking about the latest spin-off from the X-Men franchise, Deadpool. However, there's also Wolverine 2 and X-Men Origins: Magneto in the works, as well as X-Men: First Class, with the latter designed to feature some of the younger characters in the franchise.

While we don't think that First Class will be the next X-Men adventure to hit the big screen, Anna Paquin has nonetheless been talking about being involved in the project. Paquin played Rogue in the first three X-Men movies, and in conversation with the fine folks at IGN, she's admitted that she'd love to return to the role.

She does note in the interview, however, that "I would hope I could do a little bit more action next time, though. I kind of find it ironic that I did three big action films and did, actually, no action whatsoever. I mean I got some really amazing emotional story moments, but I didn't really get to do the physical stuff."

Short of the fact that Josh Schwartz, he of The O.C. and Chuck fame, is writing the screenplay, there's been little heard on the First Class project for a few months now. We'll keep you posted of further developments....

I hope she gets a bigger role too, because despite everything I do think she made a decent Rogue, and I'd like her to get more deadly with The Kiss and everything.

As far as I'm concerned, after the lamentable X3 and Wolverine, this franchise should just be given a looooong rest. However, an increased role for Anna Paquin might actually tempt me back into the theatre...if only to see her as a brunette (well, mostly brunette) again.

So it's a New Mutants movie? They may wanna change the name cause X-Men: First Class makes me think it'll be about Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Angel and Iceman. But if the series progresses with the addition of Cable and a break away from the X-Men to form X-Force, well that would just kick some serious ass and they can name it whatever they want. If they gave Rogue the Ms. Marvel powers she gets in the comics then she'd have no problem with action scenes.

I dont understand how rogue went from powerhouse with personality in the comics to love story in the movies. however if they just do Ultimate X-Men the movie, and actually have the original xmen in the lineup [beast and angel should have been in X1, no excuses, and wolverine added later] then this should do quite well. but oh wait, hollywood. oops.
