Keke Palmer is just 29 years of age but has literally grown up onscreen since starting her storied career in 2004. Given Palmer’s infectious energy and acting chops, a fan imagined her in the role of the X-Men member Rouge, and Palmer seemingly agreed with the suggestion.

TikTok user @jacobfordridgway posted a video discussing a video Keke Palmer posted where she expressed interest in playing a superhero role. In the video, @jacobfordridgway explained that the usual fan-casting done for Black actresses was thrown out such as the powerful Storm. However, @jacobfordridgway threw a curveball and suggested the power-absorbing mutant, Rogue, who is depicted as a white woman in the comics.

Palmer caught wind of the video, which was shared by a Twitter user, and retweeted it with the caption, “Come on agentttttttt,” suggesting she’d be all the way down for playing the role.

As @jacobfordridgway shares, Palmer’s outsized personality and ability would be a perfect fit for the role of Rogue. Palmer is most definitely into the idea as she shared the TikTok via her Instagram account.
