X-Men's Original Mystique Actress Reveals If She'd Star In MCU

screenrant.com:

Rebecca Romijn, the actor who originally portrayed the shapeshifting villain Mystique in the Bryan Singer-directed X-Men, shares whether she would star in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Romijn appeared in both direct sequels of the Fox franchise, X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand. She also had a brief cameo appearance in the prequel film X-Men: First Class, which featured a younger version of Mystique played by Jennifer Lawrence. Although Mystique lost her powers in X-Men: The Last Stand thanks to an anti-mutant genome drug dubbed «the cure,» a later scene hints at her ability to return in some capacity.

With the highly-anticipated Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness on the verge of hitting theaters, there has been a high level of speculation regarding cameos due to its parallel universe plot elements. Multiple rumors and theories have made the rounds on social media, especially following the reveal of Patrick Stewart's return as Professor X. This has sparked discussions of whether or not mutants will finally make their official appearance within the MCU.

I don't know if they would ever want me back. I mean, that was quite a few years back when I played that character, but I would love to, yeah, absolutely. It was a fantastic franchise to be a part of. I'll love that cast until the day I die. We had a great time together. And
