“Come on now, SUGAH!” one fan wrote along with a still of Palmer dressed as the X-Men character Rogue.
“Storm or Rogue for me…,” added someone else.
When reviewing commentary from Marvel fans, many are on board with Palmer either taking on the role of Rogue or Storm in a potential X-Men reboot. The last Storm was played by Halle Berry, and Anna Paquin portrayed Rogue.
Having Palmer take on the role of Rogue would be a major shift for the character, who’s been portrayed as white since the comic book’s inception. However, the Emmy Award-winning TV host has teased her skills with taking on an action role within the MCU.
