Jubilee is yet another X-Man from the nineties that didn't receive enough love in the films, debuting first in cameos during the original X-Men trilogy before getting a fully fledged role in X-Men: Apocalypse.
Sadly, although Lana Condor is a standout choice for Lee, most of the character's scenes were cut. She barely even features in the film, and with fans already left disappointed by the fact the character made only minor appearances in the films before that, Dark Phoenix has a lot of work to make up for.
Does a mall-babe eat chilli fries? They certainly do in the nineties show. Finding out that answer in the films, however, could take a whole lot longer than any fan could've anticipated.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
