Fan Casting Raven in Rupert Wyatt's Gambit

A shape-shifting mutant mercenary and the ultimate wild card. Hired for the final con against Nathaniel Essex, Mystique infiltrates Gambit's court hearing disguised as the accused thief himself. She delivers a heartfelt confession, slips her restraints, and squeezes through the bars of her cell — revealing her blue-scaled form just as Essex realizes he's been played. Cool, capable, and utterly unreadable, she exists outside the family feud, motivated only by the job and the paycheck. Her brief appearance bridges the Gambit standalone to the larger X-Men universe, proving that no one is ever quite who they seem.
