Could Lady Gaga, Nick Jonas and Harry Styles star in a reboot of the X-Men movie franchise?
We Got This Covered, widely derided for its "click bait" posts, reported this week that all three music stars are being considered for roles. The website cited unnamed sources as claiming Gaga could play Emma Frost, Jonas could be Havok and Styles could portray Pyro.
While the reports should be taken with a grain of salt (on Reddit, We Got This Covered is dismissed as “B.S.”), it is true that Marvel is looking to breath new life into X-Men.
Six of the films in the franchise were made in Canada: 2000’s X-Men in Toronto; 2003’s X2 and 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand in Vancouver; and 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past, 2016’s X-Men: Apocalypse and 2019’s Dark Phoenix in Montreal.
