Inde Navarrette Reportedly Ditched Massive $2.5M Payday to Join Marvel’s X-Men

The actress chose Marvel’s multi-picture commitment over two competing studio offers, including a horror lead worth $2.5 million, industry sources said.

  • Marvel Studios announced actress Inde Navarrette as Rogue in the X-Men reboot at D23 in Anaheim, following her breakout performance in Obsession.
  • Marvel's multi-picture agreements rarely permit conflicting production windows, often precluding actors from joining other major productions. Insiders confirmed the long-term contractual commitment forced Navarrette to withdraw.
  • Navarrette declined a leading role in director Matthias Hoene's horror feature Invertigo, worth $2.5 million, and passed on Heat 2, where she was considered for Charlene.
  • Despite earning only $20,000 for Obsession, which grossed $495.6 million, the 25-year-old performer prioritized the X-Men franchise for long-term job security.
  • Scheduled for release on May 5, 2028, the X-Men reboot launches a multi-year Mutant Saga timeline, limiting the California native's availability for competing projects.
