Hunter Schafer as Mystique

Text on the meme

NEWS HUNTER SCHAFER IS NOW RUMORED TO PLAY MYSTIQUE IN MARVEL’S ‘X-MEN’ Miss Dick. But who will they recast by the time the movie starts shooting? Well he's already an ex-man in real life so it makes sense

What it means

A fake entertainment-news post shows Hunter Schafer alongside an illustrated version of Mystique from Marvel’s X-Men, claiming she is rumored to play the character. The joke is a transphobic pun on “ex-man,” referring to Schafer’s transgender identity and the X-Men name. It is shared as an edgy reaction to casting rumors or jokes about Hollywood recasting.
