House of the Dragon’s Bethany Antonia tipped for an iconic X-Men role in the MCU

House of the Dragon cast members are back on the promo trail, talking up a bigger-than-last-time Season 3. And while Westeros gears up to get even messier, Marvel is busy laying the groundwork for the X-Men in the MCU. Somewhere in the middle of all that, one of the show’s stars went ahead and called her shot.

Bethany Antonia has a Marvel wishlist

During a chat with ComicBook’s Chris Killian, with co-star Phoebe Campbell sitting beside her, Bethany Antonia didn’t hesitate when asked which hero or villain she’d want to audition for. She went straight for a heavy hitter: Storm.

"Oh, Storm, but I think that’s already taken."

When Killian suggested the role might not actually be cast yet, Antonia leaned into it and joked that Marvel should give her a call.

Why this is fun timing

HBO is talking up House of the Dragon Season 3 as a larger-scale return, so the cast making noise is expected. Meanwhile, Marvel is keeping its X-Men plans tightly locked down, which makes Antonia staking a claim like this a neat little curveball. If the mutant lineup really is still in flux, tossing your name in the ring on camera is one way to get on the radar.
