Maisie Williams might be the next Game of Thrones actor to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. During an interview with Entertainment Weekly , the actress recently acknowledged the rumors claiming she was up for a role in the X-Men spinoff, New Mutants.
Williams told Entertainment Weekly she would love to be a part of the MCU, but didn’t say if she auditioned for a role. Williams’ casting would mark the second Game of Thrones actor to join the MCU as Sansa actress Sophie Turner locked down the role of Jean Grey in X-Men: Apocalypse .
“I can’t say much about it at all, but I would absolutely love to be a part of it, [and] to be a part of the Marvel family,” Williams said. “ New Mutants looks absolutely incredible and I’ve always loved the idea of spin-offs and [director] Joshua Boone is incredibly talented. So, yeah, sign me up.”
Screen Rant reports Williams is allegedly up for the role of Rahne Sinclair, a.k.a. Wolfsbane. The character is basically a werewolf; Sinclair can channel her inner wolf at will, but with the transformation comes instincts she cannot always control.
In the comics, Sinclair was eventually outed as a mutant and rescued by Dr. Moira MacTaggert, played by actress Rose Bryne in the current X-Men movies.
New Mutants does not have a release date, but it would be cool to see Arya Stark transform into a wolf. X-Men: Apocalypse hits theaters on May 27.
