Overview
- Rhodes said “I’m an X‑Men” during a Nerdist interview while promoting Street Fighter on Thursday, and co-star Andrew Schulz reacted with surprise, driving renewed attention to the remark.
- The comment follows Rhodes’s August visit to Marvel’s Burbank offices and social posts using X‑Men ’97 music that earlier fueled casting rumors.
- Rhodes is currently touring to promote his role as Guile in Street Fighter and has prior acting credits that explain his presence at genre events.
- Fans and outlets are speculating about possible roles such as Cable or Sebastian Shaw, but those suggestions are unconfirmed and based on profile and fan conjecture.
- Marvel has not announced any casting, so confirmation from the studio will be decisive and could shift publicity toward both the X‑Men reboot and Rhodes’s ongoing film work ahead of the movie’s May 5, 2028 release.
