Lana Condor wants Jubilee in X-Men Apocalypse
The desire to return is a powerful one, especially when it comes to beloved characters. For actress Lana Condor, that desire centers on a vibrant, explosive character she once brought to the screen: Jubilee.
Condor, who made a memorable cameo as Jubilee in the brief moments of X-Men: Apocalypse, has publicly voiced a strong wish to play the mutant once more. Her feelings stem from a desire to be truly utilized, to have her character mean something significant within the larger narrative of the X-Men universe.
“I desperately want to play Jubilee again,” Condor shared. “I think she is such a fabulous and phenomenal character; she is so vibrant, full of vitality and life. You can’t reduce that.”
This sentiment reflects a deep appreciation for the character’s energy and impact, suggesting that Condor views Jubilee not just as a role, but as a force of nature within the mythology.
Speaking with Marvel representatives, Condor confirmed that she had discussed the possibility of a return with the filmmakers. Her hope is tied directly to the upcoming X-Men movie reboot scheduled for 2028.
“I’ve talked to the filmmakers and been like, ‘Hey, listen, I’m 10 years older now. I know more. Bring me back.’ So we’ll see,” she noted, expressing a hopeful anticipation for the future.
The anticipation surrounding the next chapter of the X-Men saga is palpable, as Marvel Studios gears up for a major cinematic event. The reboot is set to hit cinemas on May 5, 2028.
The ensemble cast confirmed for the Jake Schreier-directed movie has already drawn considerable attention. Key roles are filled by a stellar group including Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, Kit Connor as Cyclops, Christopher Abbott as Professor X, Inde Navarette as Rogue, Maya Boyd as Storm, Samara Weaving as Emma Frost, and Adam Driver as Mister Sinister.
With such an incredible lineup already in place, the question remains: could Lana Condor be the vibrant force of Jubilee to add to this powerhouse cast?
