Rogue first appeared in Avengers Annual #10 in 1981. She was introduced as a villain at first and soon joined the X-Men. Rogue is capable of absorbing and eliminating memories, and physical strength, along with absorbing the capabilities of anyone she comes into contact. 

Rogue also appeared in the original live-action X-Men franchise. Anna Paquin played the character in the live-action adaptation and went on to portray the character in multiple X-Men films.

It is yet not confirmed if the studio will bring the original cast back or would re-cast for the X-Men reboot. MCU’s Phase 6 will come to a conclusion in 2026 with Avengers: Secret Wars. Considering this, fans would not see Palmer as Rogue, even if she gets the role, anytime soon.
