Overview
- Navarrette was announced as the new iteration of Rogue at D23 last Friday, a lead role in Jake Schreier’s upcoming X‑Men film that ties her to the MCU franchise.
- Her casting follows a rapid rise after Obsession, an indie horror hit that grossed roughly $495–500 million worldwide on a budget under $1 million while Navarrette was reportedly paid about $20,000.
- Multiple reports say Navarrette met with Michael Mann and was being considered for the Charlene Shiherlis role in Heat 2 but is no longer in contention because of her X‑Men commitment.
- Page Six reports that she declined a separate horror offer that would have paid about $2.5 million, reflecting how the Obsession success has let her turn down high-paying projects.
- The turn of events gives Navarrette franchise visibility and likely steadier work while leaving Heat 2 casting in flux as Amazon MGM Studios prepares to start filming later this year.
