Casting rumors for the new "X-Men" film continue to swirl, with the latest buzz focusing on the character of Shadowcat. A prominent entertainment journalist recently reported on his paid blog, "The InsSneider," that 15-year-old child star Julia Butters (pictured left), known for her breakout roles in "The Gray Man" and "Once Upon a Time in...

Butters first gained recognition for her role as Anna-Kat Otto, the youngest daughter in the TV series "American Housewife," where her comedic timing stood out. She later made a significant impression on many fans with her performance as a precocious child star alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in "Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood."
Butters' rising star continues with the upcoming "Freakier Friday," the sequel to "Freaky Friday," where she will play daughter to Lindsay Lohan's character. Her career trajectory is highly anticipated. Recently, rumors have also suggested that the Russo brothers, reportedly returning to direct "Avengers 5" and "Avengers 6," will also be involved in producing the new "X-Men" film. Given that the Russo brothers previously worked with Butters on "The Gray Man," her chances of being cast might be considerably high.
