Kalshi Has Prediction Markets on the MCU X-Men Cast: Trade With Our WINGGPREMAR Promo Code

The MCU’s X-Men reboot is on the calendar officially. It will be the first movie to kick off Phase 7 after Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars and, slowly but surely, the cast is being unveiled. Leaks and rumors flowed freely for a long time, but finally, real, concrete evidence of casting decisions are coming out.
Traders on the Kalshi app are speculating on which actors may make up the cast — and here we will take a closer look at what may happen with the movie, which is said to be scheduled for a May 2028 release.
MCU X-Men cast takes shape
Jean Grey, who made her MCU debut in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, will be portrayed by Sadie Sink. Though that wasn’t officially revealed until the movie came out, Sink will be playing the popular mutant.
Other X-Men have not been seen on-screen, but we know several actors, according to Deadline, who’ve been given the roles. Kit Connor has reportedly been cast as Scott Summers, beating out Cooper Hoffman and other contenders.
The role of Emma Frost was reportedly given to Samara Weaving. As of now, those are the three confirmed castings for the movie set to come out in less than two years. D23 is coming soon, though, and we expect to get more names then.

Who might be joining these talented actors in iconic roles? Currently, we don’t know have confirmation, but traders on Kalshi have been making predictions. Unsurprisingly, 29% of traders believe Hugh Jackman will reprise his iconic role as Wolverine one last time.
Here are some other names and their chances according to Kalshi at the time of writing:
- Colman Domingo: 25%
- Adam Driver: 96%
- Charles Melton: 54%
- Ayo Edebiri: 41%
- Harris Dickinson: 40%
- Jesse Plemons: 35%
- Julia Butters: 30%
- Austin Butler: 25%
- Jacob Elordi: 19%
- Glen Powell: 18%
- Daniel Radcliffe: 16%
- Paul Mescal: 16%
- Denzel Washington: 14%
- Hunter Schafer: 10%
- Joe Keery: 8%
- Margaret Qualley: 5%
Who could they be playing? Rumors certainly abound for some of the most prominent names on this list. Adam Driver, for example, is heavily rumored to be the next Magneto, but some expect him to be Sebastian Shaw.
Charles Melton was reportedly up for Beast, but he may have turned the role down. Jesse Plemons was also linked to Beast. Ayo Edebiri was linked to Storm, but new rumors suggest that Ryan Coogler is going to introduce Storm in Black Panther III and give the role to Jayme Lawson.
Harris Dickinson was rumored as a candidate for Cyclops, which is pretty much impossible now. Regardless, if you are planning to trade at Kalshi for yourself then be sure to our WINGGPREMAR promo code — this can see you get up to $500 in bonus trades.
Former X-Men returning?
Additionally, some former X-Men characters portrayed in various films in the Marvel universe could show up again, at least according to Kalshi traders. These include:
- Patrick Stewart as Professor X: 24%
- Kelsey Grammer as Beast: 31%
- James McAvoy as Professor X: 30%
- Sir Ian McKellan as Magneto: 27%
- Michael Fassbender as Magneto: 22%
- Nicholas Hoult as Beast: 17%
- Sophie Turner as Jean Grey: 17%
- Evan Peters as Quicksilver: 14%
- Tye Sheridan as Cyclops: 13%
Ultimately, what happens in Doomsday and Secret Wars will determine whether or not these characters are around to be involved and what shape the MCU’s X-Men team will take.
Other MCU characters
At this point, the MCU is a massive, sprawling universe. Having a movie without any characters outside the main team is unrealistic and unlikely. Look at Brand New Day, which included the Hulk, Black Widow, Jean Grey, and the Punisher.
With that in mind, some existing MCU characters have chances of appearing in the X-Men movie. Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards (30%) and Will Poulter’s Adam Warlock (25%) were options on the Kalshi prediction market as well.
