The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that relative newcomer Blu Hunt has joined the cast of 20th Century Fox's upcoming X-Men spinoff, New Mutants, as the Native American telepath Danielle Moonstar.

The story adds that Moonstar was the final key role to be filled and her role is being described as possibly the most important in the script, which is said to be a loose adaptation of the classic Demon Bear Saga.

Hunt, who is part Native American, joins an ensemble cast that recently added Anya Taylor-Joy (Split) as Magik, Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones) as Wolfsbane, Charlie Heaton (Stranger Things) as Cannonball, and Henry Zaga (13 Reasons Why) as Sunspot. Also, while a deal hasn't closed, Rosario Dawson (Daredevil) has been rumored to be circling the mentor role of Dr. Cecilia Reyes.

THR's report comes in hot on the heels of a casting rumor reported by our friends over at Omega Underground earlier this week.

Hunt is an extremely fresh face with her most prominent credit coming from a recurring role as The Hollow on the hit vampire drama The Originals. She's also made appearances on This Is It and Girl on Girl.

So, what do you guys think? Sound off with your thoughts below!

Honored to be playing the role of Dani Moonstar. Thank you @joshboonemovies for letting me be apart of her story and this amazing movie! 🌙🌟 #xmennewmutants #danimoonstar
