5. Leah Lewis

As George Fayne on the CW series Nancy Drew, Leah Lewis has already given us a glimpse at an insecure young adult having to hold up the world (or at least her family). Not only has she had to run her own business, but she does it while helping to raise her sisters and fighting off supernatural threats as a member of the Drew Crew.

And what makes George so special is the actress that portrays her. Lewis is brilliant in this role and she has given us a rather unique character who is not only mature beyond her years but who can be vulnerable and scared. All of these are things we actually expect to see from Rogue because at least in certain variations of the mutant, she is an insecure teenager who has doubts about herself and what she can do.

However, the thing that really makes me think that Leah Lewis has the wow factor to be a scene stealer is the fact that even when she is portraying a vulnerable young adult with insecurities, she always finds a way to not only do what needs to be done, but she brings a lot of maturity, strength, and sass to the moment. Not only does Lewis have some serious range when it comes to her work on Nancy Drew, but from what we have seen on social media, she also has what it takes to portray a superhero known for her strength and invulnerability.

Honestly, I just want to see Leah Lewis as part of the MCU and if ever there was a role that she could take on and make her own, it would truly be that of Rogue.
