Sharon Stone Reveals Another Detail About Her Mysterious Marvel Movie Role
Rev up your speculation engines, it's time to start guessing wildly about who Sharon Stone is going to be playing in an upcoming Marvel movie. When she first revealed the news little while ago, she said she was playing "a wee part in a Marvel movie," which many took to be a hint that she might be playing Janet Van Dyne in Peyton Reed's Ant-Man and the Wasp. That would be a cool piece of casting, since it would reunite her with her Basic Instinct co-star Michael Douglas. But now, in a new profile in AARP that also included Alfre Woodard and Jane Fonda, she teased a new detail about her character that throws that assumption into question:
Meanwhile, Woodard and Stone are about to become very familiar to the highly sought-after comic-book-film crowd: Woodard's character is a villain in Marvel's anticipated Netflix series Luke Cage; Stone has been cast as a superhero — she'll only reveal that her secret power is heat — in a yet-to-be-named movie, also for Marvel.
So a female superhero with heat power? Who could that be, and what movie could that be for? Maybe Nikki, one of the Guardians of the Galaxy in the comics? Or maybe Janet Van Dyne actually engineered some sort of heat abilities while she was trapped in the Quantum Realm? I'd love to hear your guesses.
