In the grand multiverse of Hollywood, where capes and call sheets collide, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the ultimate proving ground for Tinseltown’s finest to suit up and soar. While Marvel’s roster already boasts a league of legends, the studio and its fans have been on a heroic quest to shake off its recent box office kryptonite and reignite the cinematic flames of the comic empire. And now, rumor has it that Hunter Schafer has finally answered the call of cosmos. With the franchise assembling fresh recruits and resurrecting long-lost legacies, Schafer’s name in the mix has sent fans into a frenzy for what could be her meteoric rise to the Marvel pantheon.
Amidst the star-studded unfolding of award seasons, Entertainment Tonight recently caught up with Euphoria
star Hunter Schafer
at the Film Independent Spirit Awards. As Schafer shared about her journey returning to the set for season 3, the host took a heroic detour, shifting the spotlight to some Marvel fan theories, casting her as the shape-shifting Mystique in the upcoming X-Men
reboot
. The moment the question hit her, her expression morphed like a true mutant as her eyes glistened while revealing her dad had already clocked the buzz.

“That would be cool,”
Hunter Schafer admitted as if the idea of joining Xavier’s School had just been planted like the seed of a future origin story. The actor mused how these fan-powered imaginations come once in a while, and each and every time, it is about characters that she really adores. Although it is merely a fan dream and not exactly a Marvel-stamped offer, Schafer was clearly gushing over their sweet summons in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
