Sabrina Carpenter is Rumored to Be Up For Villainous Marvel Role But Fans Think a Certain X-MEN Would Work Better
We are on the verge of a monumental transition in Marvel. While the end of the Infinity Saga was epic, the next chapter wasn’t fully formed, and fans were anxious to get back to solid storytelling.
We seem to be on a better track now, and with Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Avengers: Doomsday, and Avengers: Secret Wars coming up, and a reboot of X-Men on the horizon, there’s a lot to look forward to. Now fans are just wondering who will be cast to play the beloved mutants in the X-Men franchise.
One actress rumored to be in the running for an X-Men role is actress/pop singer Sabrina Carpenter (The Hate U Give, Tall Girl, Emergency), but her possible involvement has fans confused. Industry insider Daniel Richtman recently reported that the studio was looking to cast Carpenter for an undisclosed role.
Then scooper Jeff Sneider reacted to Richtman’s initial report by tweeting a GIF of X-Men character Emma Frost. Over on Reddit, Marvel fans have been trying to make sense of the speculation, and some have a different part in mind for Carpenter, and that’s Dazzler.
Taylor Swift was previously rumored to be up for the role of Dazzler, and it seems fitting for the likes of Carpenter. Dazzler, also known as Alison Blaire, is a mutant who’s famous for being a pop star in the Marvel universe.
She uses her powers (converting sound vibrations into light and energy beams) to enhance her performances. While I’m sure Carpenter would be great in many different roles, this one is an obvious fit.
As always, we will just have to wait and see how the plans shake out. Stay tuned for updates.
