- Quick Answer: Lana Condor pitched returning as Jubilee to MCU filmmakers, but Marvel Studios hasn't held official casting talks or confirmed her inclusion yet.
X-Men: Apocalypse star Lana Condor recently teased her potential return as Jubilee in the MCU reboot of X-Men.
While Marvel Studios has already announced some of the cast members for the upcoming MCU iteration of the first X-Men movie, fans are looking forward to the casting for the other key roles. There have been speculations that Jubilee might also debut in the reboot.
As it turns out, the film has the option to bring back the actress from the past Fox era for the fan-favorite character.
Is Lana Condor Returning as Jubilee in X-Men MCU Reboot?
In an interview with The Direct, Lana Condor was asked whether there have been talks of her returning as Jubilee in the X-Men reboot.
She confirmed that she has already discussed the possibility of reprising the role with the filmmakers, and she is open to returning 10 years after she first played her.
"I would love nothing more than to come back as Jubilation Lee. That's all I've been hearing, but no real conversations... 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," the actress said.
X-Men: Apocalypse marked the only time Condor played Jubilee with limited screen time, which disappointed fans at that time, as they would have wanted her to have a major role in the film, considering her popularity in the comics.
So far, Marvel Studios has not indicated any plans to introduce Jubilee in their first X-Men movie, but the online rumor mill suggests that the character's debut is likely.
For now, let's wait and see whether Condor will indeed play the MCU version of Jubilee. Considering that she is still at a younger age and her appearance in the Fox movie was brief, it won't be surprising if Marvel decides to bring her back for a different version of the character.
What to Expect in the X-Men MCU Reboot
