The Marvel Cinematic Universe has several high-profile projects in the works, including a new X-Men movie that will reintroduce the iconic superhero franchise as a full-fledged part of the MCU. As such, many big stars are in talks to appear in the project or its follow-ups, and now Sabrina Carpenter is the latest to be rumored for a role in the MCU.
While Carpenter is finding ongoing success for her music career, she does have experience in acting, and previously appeared in the likes of 2016’s Adventures in Babysitting and 2022’s Emergency. Now, according to insider @MyTimeToShineH on X, Carpenter could be setting her sights on playing a major superhero next.
In fact, the insider claims to know which part Carpenter is in talks for with Marvel Studios. Excitingly enough, it’s a part that would be perfect for Carpenter, especially if the character becomes a recurring figure in the MCU’s plans for the X-Men franchise.
The following rumor should be taken with a grain of salt, but according to the insider, Sabrina Carpenter is specifically in talks to play the X-Men character Dazzler. The fan-favorite superhero is known for having a double life as a hugely successful popstar. With the success of Carpenter’s music career and other similar pop stars like Taylor Swift, many fans have been eager to see Dazzler up on the big screen.
In fact, Swift is one other celebrity that’s been consistently rumored to play Dazzler in the MCU. With casting in such early stages, however, it’s unknown who exactly Marvel Studios has talked to and whether or not Dazzler is even in the mix. If the rumor is to be believed, however, then Sabrina Carpenter could be a great choice for Dazzler in a new X-Men project even if it isn’t someone else like Taylor Swift.
As always, we’ll have to see how this situation develops. Hopefully we’ll have more concrete info soon regarding the possibility of Sabrina Carpenter joining the MCU, however, especially with Dazzler being such a perfect fit for her to play.
