Inde Navarrette Shows Off Her Rogue's 'X-Men' Accent in New Video

During an interview for etalk, Inde Navarrette ended up showing off a bit of the Southern accent she'll be using when she plays Rogue in X-Men.

In case you didn't know, in English, the character has a strong accent, mainly because she's originally from Mississippi, which has a distinct accent from the southern region of the United States.

During the conversation, the interviewer asks Navarrette to say "sugar," an adjective frequently used by the character, especially in the classic X-Men animated series.

In the video, Navarrette apologizes if people don't like it. "I haven't been able to practice much yet," the actress explained before using the term. She then continued , "If you don't like it, I'll work on it and talk to Marvel to understand it better," she concluded.

X-Men had a long run in theaters, with films produced by Fox since the early 2000s. An initial trilogy was made, and later the mutant group went through a sort of reboot, with an entirely new cast. In 2019, Fox was acquired by Disney, which has since been paving the way for the characters’ return to the big screen under new leadership.
