X-Men: Dark Phoenix's Dazzler Has Been Reportedly Cast


X-Men: The Dark Phoenix may have found its Alison Blaire, a.k.a. Dazzler, a mutant with the ability to convert sound vibrations into light and energy beams.

Now, Omega Underground is reporting that Halston Sage (Paper Towns, Scouts Guide to the Apocalypse) has been cast to play the mutant musician in the next X-Men film. It's still unclear how much plot importance or screen time she'll get in the film but I think this is a good chance of pace for the actress who's known for playing the girl next door roles.

The character has always been controversial for her gimmicky appearance but I think it would be nice to see some new mutants in the next X-Men film. I doubt that she'll be strongly connected to the main characters, which will surely include Jean Grey since the title is named after her alter ego. It looks like Halston has the looks to pull off Dazzler's look. I just hope her screen time won't be too short.

Directed and written by Simon Kinberg, the film also stars Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Tye Sheridan, Sophie Turner, Alexandra Shipp, Even Peters, and Kodi Smit-McPhee.

X-Men: The Dark Phoenix is set to release in theaters on November 2, 2018.
