The replacement reaction will not occur because iodine is less reactive than chlorine.

REPLACEMENT REACTION:

A replacement reaction is a type of reaction in which one element is replaced by another in a compound.

The principle behind one element replacing the other is based on the reactivity of an element. A more reactive element will displace a less reactive one.

According to this question, the following displacement reaction is given: MgCl2 + I2 → ?

This reaction will not occur because chlorine is more reactive/electronegative than iodine, hence, iodine cannot displace it.
