I've been thinking about this a lot in making my X-Men fancast... I finally settled on Ellen Wong after seeing her as Knives Chau in the Scott Pilgrim movie. She reminded me of Jubilee in that movie lol. Plus she's young (and looks even younger) and fun and fit enough to do action.

eta: Sorry if this has been posted - I searched the forum but didn't see this post, and it didn't pop up when I searched, even though I assumed there would be one (seems like there is nearly every character's forum). So, yeah, apologies if I just missed it!

@redleigh86: She'd actually be a pretty decent choice. Definitely a heck of a lot better than the chick who played her in that terrible mid-90s Generation X made for TV movie.

lmao lbr here, just about anyone would be better than her! Honestly, what were they thinking??

(although I'd almost take her over Brenda Song, who seems to be a popular choice... though I'm thinking she's only popular amongst people who can only name one young Asian actress!)

i think the knives actress could be really good

...i kid... :p

i'm not sure exactly, but i see her as mary elizabeth winstead (also from scott pilgrim)... 

won me over already, I think Ellen Wong is a brilliant choice

couldn't agree more
