According to Giant Freaking Robot, claims are being made that Gillian Anderson has been cast in a significant role in the next MCU productions. However, it is still unknown what part the Crown actress will perform. Fans of comic books are theorizing that the starlet could play Dr. Moira MacTaggert from the X-men comics or one of the antagonists in the series. The actress has neither acknowledged nor rejected the reports, so fans should actually take them with a healthy dose of skepticism. Here are other details:

Everything to know about Gillian Anderson:
Actress Gillian Leigh Anderson is from the United States.

Which role can be played by Anderson:
Fans have some fairly strong theories about who Anderson will portray and what movies and/or TV shows she will appear in. Gillian Anderson would seem to fit in best as Dr. Moira MacTaggert with Marvel’s mutants. In the films X-Men: The Last Stand from 2007 and X-Men: First Class from 2011 and 2016, Rose Byrne and Olivia Williams respectively performed the role. Although MacTaggert acted as a human comrade to the mutants in previous movies, advancements in the comics may allow the character to have a much more significant role in the MCU.
A portrayal of a Marvel villain could be another choice for Gillian Anderson, as she is already underrated in that aspect. While Anderson hasn’t portrayed many overtly evil characters, she has had success playing roles with complex ethical quandaries, such in the crime drama The Fall or her role as the titular serial killer’s psychiatrist in Hannibal. She might portray Cassandra Nova, the evil psychic, if she were to play an antagonist. Nova, who first appeared in 2001’s New X-Men #114, later revealed to be Charles Xavier’s identical twin and an equal amount of power.
