It seems the mutant Red Lotus<\/a><\/strong> may have a role in director\/writer Simon Kinberg’s DARK PHOENIX<\/a><\/strong> film. Mia of house Saenz (@THGDistrict3<\/a>)<\/strong> discovered that the IMDB<\/a> lists makeup department aritst Stacey Butterworth<\/strong> as wig maker for the characters of “Storm, Mystique, Quicksilver and (revealingly) Red Lotus<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

In the Marvel comics, the character has been affiliated with the X-Men, in particular the X-Treme X-Men team, but not as an official member. Born in Sydney, Australia to an American parent, and the heir apparent to the Sydney Chinese Triad, he assisted the X-Treme X-Men against Sebastian Shaw and Lady Mastermind and later became an ally to Viper, joining her undercover at the Hellfire Club in hopes to shut down their mutant slave ring.<\/p>\n

He is a superhuman martial artist who possesses enhanced strength, speed, reflexes, agility, dexterity, coordination, balance, and endurance.<\/p>\n

Last year, it was revealed<\/a> that South Korean singer\/actor Rain<\/strong> was forced to drop out of the film due to scheduling conflicts. Though it wasn’t revealed which character he was playing, there were early casting breakdowns for a mutant named Hiroshi, described a “Japanese, brash Tokyo punk kid with an attitude. Although Hiroshi is young, he can command the attention of a room and is always ready for a fight.”<\/p>\n

Initial speculation linked this character to Sunfire<\/a>, but it seems likely this breakdown was actually for Red Lotus.<\/p>\n

What role will this character ultimately play in the film? Given our general knowledge of the plot, we’re speculating he either has ties to Magneto’s Genosha<\/a> island — a mutant safe haven — or Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters.<\/p>\n

It’s still unknown which actor was cast in the role.<\/p>\n

We’ll find out soon enough as Dark Phoenix<\/em> flies into theaters on February 14, 2019.<\/p>\n
