Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) enthusiasts are buzzing with anticipation following reports that actress Keke Palmer may be poised to join the ranks of the MCU in a major capacity.
Speculation began swirling on Thursday, April 25, when a Marvel insider page hinted at Palmer’s potential involvement in a key role within the expansive shared universe.
While there has been no official confirmation from Marvel Studios, the mere possibility of Palmer’s inclusion has ignited fervent discussion among fans, who are already deliberating on which iconic character she could portray.
Among the top contenders put forth by Marvel aficionados is the role of Rogue or Storm in a prospective X-Men reboot.
Notably, the character of Rogue has historically been depicted as white in the comics, making Palmer’s potential casting a groundbreaking departure from tradition.
However, the Emmy Award-winning actress has demonstrated her aptitude for action-oriented roles, fueling excitement about the prospect of her tackling such a significant character within the MCU.
In addition to Rogue and Storm, Palmer has also been suggested as a fitting candidate for roles such as Mystique from the X-Men franchise or Spider-Woman, a character previously featured in animated form and voiced by Issa Rae.
Moreover, amidst recent developments involving Jonathan Majors’ departure from his MCU role as Kang The Conqueror, Palmer’s name has emerged as a contender to potentially embody one of Kang’s myriad variants, further expanding the realm of possibilities within the Marvel universe.
While Palmer has maintained a notable presence on social media, she has remained conspicuously silent amid the escalating speculation surrounding her rumored involvement with Marvel Studios.
