Director Bryan Singer announced Booboo Stewart as having a role in X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST and speculation instantly started on who he’d be playing. Stewart has Japanese, Chinese, and Korean ancestry from his mother’s side and Native American, Russian and Scottish descent from his father’s side. His background doesn’t necessarily reveal who he’ll be playing, so it’s possible that he’s up for any character. The below four options are all purely based on speculation and nothing more.

Visually speaking, Stewart is bulking up and has long hair, very similar to that of John Proudstar (Thunderbird), a mutant with superhuman senses and athletic ability. Thunderbird joined the X-Men in 1975, and famously died while on a mission with the team. He also has a brother, James Proudstar (Thunderbird II/ Warpath), who has similar abilities, though at much greater levels.

Another popular choice is Forge, a character who is incredibly intelligent and advanced in technology. Similar to Beast, Forge is known for creating devices and giving the X-Men multiple upgrades in weaponry. If a time traveling device is needed in “Days of Future Past,” then Forge is definitely your go-to guy for that.

Another speculated character is Shiro Yoshido (Sunfire), a hot-headed mutant that was exposed to radiation while in his mother’s womb. He has the ability to absorb solar radiation and release blasts of searing heat from his hands. While he affiliates with the X-Men, Sunfire has a temper and is known for not always working well with others. At one point he was transformed into one of Apocalypse’s horsemen.

Do you think Stewart’s playing any of these characters? Vote and comment below!
