It looks like another mutant will be added to the upcoming X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2018) movie. According to Entertainment Weekly, the mutant Dazzler will make her appearance in the film. Dazzler is a mutant who not only can sing and dance, but can also manipulate light.
For those who may have seen the deleted scene in X-Men: Apocalypse, Dazzler existence was teased when both Scott Summers (Tye Sheridan) and Jean Grey (Sophia Turner) found her record album in a local mall.
Back in April 2016, Sophie Turner shared the image from the deleted scene on her Twitter page.

When Turner made the comment about Dazzler saying, “our favorite singer’s album (pre-1989 of course)” it got many people to begin theorizing who could play the role of Dazzler. The folks at Collider started to believe that Taylor Swift could be the one to play the role.

Seeing as though the X-Men cast did attend Taylor Swift’s “1989” concert tour back in 2015, it wouldn’t be that much of a stretch to believe that the famous pop star could be cast for the role.
