Recasting X-Men: 14 Actors Who Need To Replace Singer's Mutants
8. Maggie Q - Lady Deathstrike
The lovely Kelly Hu played Deathstrike in X2, ultimately being killed off by Wolverine, though the next movie taking place likely around a decade prior to her death will allow the character to be resurrected (combined with the get-out clause that the DOFP reboot probably altered her fate).
Though the seemingly ageless Hu could basically just play the character again, there's an arguably better-suited choice in Maggie Q, given her experience as a femme fatale in the likes of Live Free or Die Hard and Nikita, making her a more natural fit for any action sequences that might take place.
Of course, Deathstrike may end up left out of the mix altogether, but given how short-lived her tenure was in the Singer movies, it'd be great to see her get a do-over.
