I know that&#8217;s absolutely possible and people do that all the time, but I would just want to make sure it&#8217;s the right story being told, especially if it&#8217;s such a huge franchise. It has such an impact, and I want to make sure it&#8217;s the right story and it&#8217;s, you know, not just spreading violence and shock value, but something meaningful.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Horowitz also asked whether the X-Men held any personal significance for her growing up, including whether she had watched the classic animated series. Thatcher admitted she isn&#8217;t very familiar with the franchise, jokingly replying, &#8220;It&#8217;s the blue people? There&#8217;s my answer. So, I&#8217;m going to get a lot of hate on that one. Like Jennifer Lawrence in blue.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Despite her limited knowledge of the X-Men universe, Thatcher made it clear that she would welcome the opportunity to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe if the right role came along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I&#8217;m open. Yes. Always. I&#8217;m open to anything.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=d6D0BZ7yLe8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Josh Horowitz<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.entertainmentearth.com\/product\/jd33354?id=QL8FIOC151\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"186\" data-attachment-id=\"81384\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/?attachment_id=81384\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/x-menfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wolv-car-ad-1.jpg?fit=500%2C186&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"500,186\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"wolv-car-ad\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/x-menfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wolv-car-ad-1.jpg?fit=500%2C186&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/x-menfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wolv-car-ad-1.jpg?resize=500%2C186&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-81384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/x-menfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wolv-car-ad-1.jpg?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/x-menfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wolv-car-ad-1.jpg?resize=300%2C112&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Entertainment Earth &#8211; Ad<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actress Sophie Thatcher has addressed the growing fan interest in seeing her join Marvel Studios&#8217;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":81295,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[97,31,5,90],"tags":[299,412,224],"class_list":["post-81292","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-disney","category-rumors","category-video","category-x-men","tag-marvel-studios","tag-videos","tag-x-men"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/x-menfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sop-tha.jpg?fit=901%2C600&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81292","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=81292"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81292\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":81385,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81292\/revisions\/81385"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/81295"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=81292"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=81292"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=81292"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
