Fans of “Superbad” and “Zombieland” (and we hear that there’s a lot of ‘em) know Emma Stone as the object of Jonah Hill’s affection and a survivor of the zombie invasion, respectively, but could she have an even more geek-friendly role in her future? One of the Marvel’s mutants, perhaps?

Talking with MTV News during a press event for “Zombieland,” Stone said she’s been told she’d be a good fit for Theresa Rourke Cassidy, a.k.a. the “sonic scream”-wielding Siryn.

“Someone keeps telling me that I could be Siryn in X-Men,” said Stone, whose red hair is certainly a match for the character in at least one aspect.

The daughter of X-Men member Banshee, Siryn is currently a major player in Peter David’s celebrated “X-Factor” series.

“There’s not too many people that haven’t been played already, it seems like, woman-wise,” said Stone.

While I’m not sure comic book fans would agree with the actress about the lack of female characters, she did have a caveat about potential roles that’s shared among the comics-savvy masses. One thing she didn’t want to play was “the superhero’s buddy that they added for the movie version that wasn’t in the comic.”

“But this Siryn thing sounds very interesting,” she added.
