Jennifer Lopez Is The Latest Actress To Put Herself Forward For A Superhero Role
As the comic book movie genre becomes more and more popular, everyone and anyone are putting themselves forward for a variety of characters. The latest? Actress and singer Jennifer Lopez! Hit the jump for her comments, and who she appeals to for a superhero role. Marvel or DC?
Jennifer Lopez may be 45 (we know, it's hard to believe), but why should that stop her from playing a superhero on the big screen? When E! Online caught up with the actress recently, they asked if she has any interest in the genre, and her answer probably won't surprise you! "That would be awesome. I don't know why somebody hasn't thought about that yet." Who could she end up playing? No specific names were mentioned, but she did joking call out to the President of Warner Bros. asking for a role. "Greg Silverman—I need to play a superhero!" So, which character from the DC Universe do you think J-Lo is the right choice for? Both there and over at Marvel, you have to imagine there's someone she would be right for! Of course, given her history with Ben Affleck, we probably shouldn't expect to see a team-up with Batman any time soon! What do you think?
