Taylor-Joy has been cast as Magik, a mutant capable of sorcery who uses teleportation discs to travel between locations instantly. The character’s name of Illyana Nikolievna Rasputina appeared on Stryker’s computer screen in X2: X-Men United.

Williams steps in as Wolfsbane, a young girl struggling to handle her the mentality religious beliefs have instilled in her against he ability to turn into a wolf. Like Magik, Wolsbane’s real name of Rahne Sinclair appeared on Stryker’s computer screen in X2: X-Men United.
