So no real shade here. I don't hate Mystique, but the idea of her getting a solo movie isn't sitting well with me. Even after watching this, which outlined some really great ideas for the character:
The issue is Fox (and all of the studios making super-flicks) need a female superhero like yesterday. WB/DC has Wonder Woman and Marvel is making Captain Marvel. Fox has the X-men. The greatest superwomen, packaged in a team.
How many of these women have held down a solo? Or have adventures/storyarcs and villians that lend to a solo?
Should Fox make Phoenix their Thor? Or Showcase the might of Storm, pre-X or side adventures? What about the rise of Rogue? Should they try a Kitty story turning Excalibur into a solo vehicle? Maybe an all female squad?
Likely it might fall to Dazzler or X23, but what do you guys think?

Dazzler and X-23 are the most logical choices as they have headed longer running solos so have the most material separate from the team. X-23 being the successor of Wolverine may actually happen. I don't know if Fox is invested in the idea of a Dazz solo though. The amount of coverage received by the TSwift rumors would have caught their attention, but I don't know if they are willing to make the first superhero musical, with or without Swift in the lead role.
Phoenix doesn't need a solo. The next two X-movies should revolve around her though.

When you are a movie studio, you don't pick the main character of your first female-lead superhero movie on what is popular in the comics. You pick it based on what you think will work in a movie and on what has been proven to be popular in your movies.
Which is so incredibly not Storm or Rogue or Jean Grey...
