Saw this photo on tumblr from Fan-Girl.org and maybe it’s because I’ve been reading Fearless Defenders… but the woman decked out in 70s garb looks an awful lot like Misty Knight.
Big afro and red clothes from head to toe… could be a coincidence as this is set in 1973 and that would be a period outfit. Though Singer did leave a lot of spaces open on his casting board. The actress also looks really familiar but for the life of me I can’t place her.
Here, Singer is talking to both her and Jennifer, so this woman is more than an extra as the Director doesn’t speak to extras, the Assistant Director does.
The thing is, Misty has no connection to the DOFP storyline nor any of the major characters in it. The only X-Man she had any real connection to was Jean Grey. Of course, that doesn’t mean she can’t be the kick-butt character she always was and is somehow involved, in fact, she was a police woman early in her background before becoming bionic (I see no bionics in this, at least obvious bionics) and maybe that’s how she’s in the middle of all this (and how she becomes bionic).
But these pictures are on the same set used for the Paris Peace Accords meaning this takes place in France. Not saying Misty couldn’t have gone there on her own or with the X-Men, but it does put a little hole in the theory.
Like all things, we shall see…
