Adrianne Palicki Reveals X-Men Character She Wants To Play In MCU | SpaceCon

Adrianne Palicki joined Nerdtropolis Mayor Sean Tajipour on stage at SpaceCon for a fun, heartfelt, and fan-fueled panel celebrating her career across Friday Night Lights, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., The Orville, John Wick, G.I. Joe, Quasi, and more.

During the panel, Palicki reflected on why Tyra Collette remains the most meaningful role she has ever played and why Friday Night Lights still connects with fans nearly 20 years later. She opened up about Tyra’s impact on young women, the importance of her college storyline, and where she imagines the character would be today.

Palicki also looked back on joining the Marvel universe as Bobbi Morse, also known as Mockingbird, in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. She shared what it was like stepping into the role, learning new fight skills, working with Ming-Na Wen, and filming the emotional “Spy’s Goodbye” scene. She also made it clear she would love to play Mockingbird again and even told fans to campaign for her return.

The conversation also dives into The Orville, including Palicki’s hopes for more stories, the idea of doing movies, Kelly Grayson’s future, working with Seth MacFarlane, and why the show’s heart and sci-fi storytelling continue to mean so much to fans. She also talked about the powerful impact of the Topa storyline and the real family bond among the cast.

From John Wick fight injuries and working with Keanu Reeves to her dream of playing Rogue in the X-Men universe, her love for Ninja Turtles, and her appreciation for fans, this SpaceCon panel captures Adrianne Palicki’s humor, honesty, and passion for the characters that made her a fan favorite.
