Jenna Ortega Courted for Major MCU Role: Rumor Revealed

by

It’s being speculated by Daniel Richtman that Jenna Ortega could potentially land a major role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, it’s important to note that this is currently just a rumor as neither Ortega nor Marvel have confirmed anything officially. If there has been a meeting between Ortega and Marvel, it may simply be preliminary discussions about a possible future collaboration, which could be subject to change or fall apart at any time.

Despite her busy schedule with projects like “Death of a Unicorn,” the second season of “Wednesday” on Netflix, and her collaboration with The Weeknd titled “Hurry Up Tomorrow,” all of which have been filmed and are just waiting to be released, there seems to be no new announcements about Ortega’s upcoming projects. If she were to join another major franchise, it could potentially happen now since there appears to be a gap in her schedule.

Without a doubt, Ortega is well-equipped to portray a superhero, given her meteoric rise in her career during the past few years. Besides starring in “Wednesday,” where she breathed life into an iconic and cherished role (and many believe, excelled), she also graced the screens in “Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice” from 2018, “Scream” and its sequel “Scream VI,” as well as the initial installment of the “X” trilogy. With a plethora of upcoming projects lined up, Ortega has demonstrated her ability to captivate audiences, making her a highly desired actress.

Fans Already Have Jenna Ortega’s MCU Role Picked Out

In terms of possible MCU roles for actress Jenna Ortega, there are many opportunities available. Some fans have suggested she would excel as Angela Del Toro/White Tiger due to her knack for portraying intense yet resilient characters. Screen Rant’s Ben Gibbons shares this viewpoint, adding that the origins of Del Toro might be established in the upcoming series “Daredevil: Born Again.

In light of the statements she made in September 2024, expressing a desire for women to have their own franchises and her dislike for them being relegated to spin-offs, I can’t help but imagine that she wouldn’t find satisfaction playing a secondary character in an established hero’s universe.

As a dedicated fan of Marvel’s cinematic world, I can’t help but marvel at how each character’s journey impacts the broader narrative of the franchise. Often, these individual threads converge dramatically in the epic Avengers films (or even sequels). It’s fascinating to see characters initially introduced in one movie or series, only to later star in their own standalone projects within the Marvel universe. This interconnectedness is a testament to the depth and intricacy of the Marvel storyline.

It’s possible that devoted fans of actress Ortega might not immediately recognize that she has previously starred in an Marvel Cinematic Universe film. Specifically, she had a brief cameo in the 2013 movie Iron Man 3, where she played the vice president’s daughter. Just as Robert Downey Jr. reprised his role in the franchise that catapulted him to stardom by portraying a different character, Ortega could potentially follow suit (although it’s important to note that her fleeting appearance in Iron Man 3 didn’t propel her into household fame).

In the upcoming movie “Death of a Unicorn,” Ortega is set to appear alongside Paul Rudd, with its release scheduled for March 28, 2025, through A24.
