Ariana DeBose Open to MCU Superhero Role
15 Nov
Summary
- Ariana DeBose expressed interest in playing a superhero in the MCU.
- She previously portrayed Calypso in Sony's 'Kraven the Hunter'.
- DeBose also stars in the Audible Original science-fiction thriller 'Exoplanet'.
Oscar-winning actor Ariana DeBose has expressed interest in potentially taking on a superhero role within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While not a devoted follower of Marvel comics, DeBose finds the concept of playing a character with enhanced abilities, such as superhuman strength or teleportation, to be an exciting prospect. She stated that the appeal lies in the potential for such characters to use their powers for good.
DeBose has prior experience within the broader Marvel comics universe, having portrayed the voodoo priestess Calypso in Sony's recently released film 'Kraven the Hunter'. This project, however, is part of Sony's Spider-Man Universe and is distinct from the interconnected Marvel Cinematic Universe. Her comments suggest an open door for future MCU involvement.
Beyond potential superhero roles, DeBose has recently engaged with a new genre through 'Exoplanet,' an Audible Original science-fiction thriller. In this audio production, she voices Becca Bang, the First Officer of a spaceship facing a quantum anomaly. DeBose views such diverse projects as crucial for her creative growth, aiming to avoid being confined to a single type of role after her Oscar win.
