Jenna Ortega Rumored To Be In Talks For Marvel Cinematic Universe Role

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice star Jenna Ortega is rumored to be in talks with Marvel Studios for a mysterious MCU role. Which character would you like to see her play?

Thanks to breakout roles in the Scream revival, Netflix's Wednesday and this year's Beetlejuice sequel, Jenna Ortega is fast becoming one of the most sought-after young actors in Hollywood, so it probably won't come as much of a surprise to learn that she's being courted by Marvel Studios.

According to scooper MTTSH, Ortega is now in talks for an undisclosed Marvel Cinematic Universe role.

It's always worth noting that Marvel meets with a lot of talent, but if Ortega has actually entered negotiations for an upcoming project, there's a good chance the trades will get hold of the story before too long.

Even if she is in talks, there's no guarantee that things will work out. Ortega has a busy schedule ahead, with a lead role in Taika Waititi's Klara and the Sun adaptation, and an untitled Trey Edward Shults film that will co-star The Weeknd and Barry Keoghan. She is also set to appear in A24 movies Death of a Unicorn with Paul Rudd, and Francisca Alegría's Alba.

Ortega was rumored to be up for the role of White Tiger in Daredevil: Born Again at one point.

Are there any particular Marvel Comics heroes or villains you'd like to see Ortega play? Let us know in the comments section.

Beetlejuice is back! After an unexpected family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River. Still haunted by Beetlejuice, Lydia's life is turned upside down when her rebellious teenage daughter, Astrid, discovers the mysterious model of the town in the attic and the portal to the Afterlife is accidentally opened. With trouble brewing in both realms, it's only a matter of time until someone says Beetlejuice's name three times and the mischievous demon returns to unleash his very own brand of mayhem.

Burton, a genre unto himself, directs from a screenplay by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar (Wednesday), story by Gough & Millar and Seth Grahame-Smith (The LEGO Batman Movie), based on characters created by Michael McDowell & Larry Wilson. The film’s producers are Marc Toberoff, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, Tommy Harper and Burton, with Sara Desmond, Katterli Frauenfelder, Gough, Millar, Brad Pitt, Larry Wilson, Laurence Senelick, Pete Chiappetta, Andrew Lary, Anthony Tittanegro, Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg executive producing.

Burton’s creatives behind the scenes includes director of photography Haris Zambarloukos (Meg 2: The Trench, Murder on the Orient Express); such previous and frequent collaborators as production designer Mark Scruton (Wednesday), editor Jay Prychidny (Wednesday), Oscar-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood (Alice in Wonderland, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Sleepy Hollow), Oscar-winning creature effects and special makeup FX creative supervisor Neal Scanlan (Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), Oscar-nominated composer Danny Elfman (Big Fish, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Batman); and Oscar-winning hair and makeup designer Christine Blundell (Topsy-Turvy).

I don't get it. Raven is in the DC universe. That's who she's supposed to play.🤣

@99OPTIMISTPRIME - better to join the winning team, until the DCU gets ongoing and proves itself it is still a big gamble

@99OPTIMISTPRIME - Who says she can't join both but in all seriousness, I can see her as User Comment Image Raven, but Feige seems to have beaten Gunn to the punch of casting her.

If true then I’m down for it since i like her!!.

It would be her second role in the MCU after her role in IM3 as the VP’s daughter.

Dani Moonstar if that Predator chick doesn’t get the role.

Otherwise the new Rogue. Wouldn’t that drive Herman crazy?

Pretty sure she already shot the Death of a Unicorn film though.

Beats me what role they could've approached her for.

Would be extremely hilarious if she was asked to be Black Cat, all the horndogs that wants Sidney Sweeney to have that would combust online. XD (Now I hope it happens for the lulz of it)
