Has WWE's Liv Morgan Landed A Major Superhero Role? Here's What We Know So Far

Former WWE Women's Champion Liv Morgan looks set to take Hollywood by storm, and there are rumors that she has landed a major superhero role...

We've been hearing reports that WWE Superstar Liv Morgan has set her sights on becoming the next pro-wrestler to break into Hollywood for a while now, and earlier this week, it was announced that the former WWE Women's Champion and current Tag-Team Champion will be taking some time off to film her first major acting role.

Sources believe that this is not a small role, and while the project remains under wraps, Liv's part has been described as "jaw dropping." Not too surprisingly given her previous Harley Quinn-esque persona, fans immediately began to speculate that Morgan - real name Gionna Jene Daddio - might have landed a role in a superhero franchise. 

Reliable insider Alex Perez shared the following post last night, indicating that he's heard that Morgan may have been cast in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem likely that Morgan will be suiting-up as Spider-Gwen or any other superhero anytime soon.

According to Mike Johnson from PW Insider, this mysterious project is not a comic book movie, and Morgan has been cast in a “major dramatic role” in a film that's "comparable to Everything Everywhere All At Once, The Raid, and Anora."

Three vastly different types of movies there, so consider us intrigued.

We should find out the title of the movie fairly soon, so stay tuned for updates. For now, let us know if you think Morgan would be a good pick for a specific superhero role in the comments section.

Late last year, a rumored synopsis for the then untitled Spider-Man 4 did the rounds online after showing up on a production website. The outline didn't garner much attention since fans figured it sounded a little too "basic," but with the Brand New Day title now confirmed, people are taking another look.

"Following the events of Doomsday, Peter Parker is determined to lead a normal life and focus on college, stepping back from his responsibilities as Spider-Man. However, peace is short-lived when a deadly new threat emerges, endangering his friends and forcing Peter to reconsider his promise. With stakes higher than ever, Peter reluctantly returns to his Spider-Man identity and finds himself teaming up with an unlikely ally to protect those he loves."

Even if this is accurate, it doesn't reveal very much. There are numerous possibilities for this "unlikely ally," but some fans are convinced it will be Sink's mysterious character and not a previously established MCU hero.

“I’m spending my time exploring the next stage of this amazing character with a team of the most incredible artists in the world," said director Destin Daniel Cretton during CinemaCon. "We’re all, just daily, nerding out over the suit, how to swing, how to create an event, an emotional story, and a ride that we haven’t really seen before"

Holland did not appear in Las Vegas for the Sony presentation, but did send the following video message.

"I am so sorry I can’t be with you. I am halfway around the world shooting a movie. I know we left you with a massive cliffhanger at the end of No Way Home, so Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a fresh start. It is exactly that. That’s all I can say."

Spider-Man 4 was recently pushed back a week from July 24, 2026 to July 31, 2026.

If this was Secret Wars I'd have said Roberta Mendez, the 2099 Captain America.

Given it's for Spider-man, I'd imagine it's going to be Spider-Queen:

Though admittedly it's also possible given how Marvel view comics that they'd want to go back and 'correct' the portrayal of prior characters, in which case they'd probably adapt Stunner:

At its core they'd want to have a female Spider-man villain, potentially a sex-swap, who they can have physically defeat Spider-man.

@Scarilian - I was thinking Black Cat or Silver Sable. Nog necessarily because I actually wanna see it, but because I'm petty and wanna see people get they're panties in a twist over it

I've generally leaned to the idea that Peter would be throwing himself into being Spider-man, avoiding being Peter Parker as much as possible - so Black Cat would be a perfect character for that. Only problem being Sony really want to do their own Black Cat/Silver Sable thing.

Ideal Spider-man 4 is Peter getting reckless, being Spider-man a majority of the time to run away from the responsibilities of his life as Peter Parker which have been thrown into turmoil following the events of Spider-man: NWH. This gives us a lot more Spider-man action in this movie, which would make sense given Tom Holland will be filming for Secret Wars at the same time - so Avengers: Doomsday most of Brand New Day and Secret Wars would be him as Spider-man to avoid having to show Peter Parker.

Black Cat would serve as both a potential escapism along with something to ground him as the shy awkward Felicia Hardy attempts to befriend Peter Parker while the confident Black Cat wraps Spider-man around her finger for her own goals.

Throw in the return of Scorpion, now with his suit made by Tinkerer and funded by either J.J.Jameson or Kingpin so we can have Spider-man forced to remember and confront the past, coupled with a symbiote bonding with him and influencing him throughout the film - resulting in a final confrontation where he ditches the symbiote and attempts to have a normal life only for it to bonds with Scorpion to become Venom. Venom remembering Peter's memories targets his former loved ones - Ned and MJ. Black Cat & Spider-man teaming up to defeat Venom, saving Ned and MJ.

Film ends with him getting this costume, setting up Secret Wars. He visually looks like the symbiote so you have the ability to play that off with Tobey but he's not got the symbiote anymore.

A talented film maker could easily portray her in ways to make her seem more physically intimidating and taller, similar to how the actor playing Bane in The Dark Knight Rises is smaller than Christian Bale.

Tom Holland is 1.69 m
Liv Morgan is 1.6 m

Christian Bale is 1.83 m
Tom Hardy is 1.75 m

Also, still cannot get past how fricking stupid it is that Peter is reluctant to be Spider-man in Brand New Day. If anything it should be the opposite, he has no life as Peter Parker, nobody knows who he is anymore and being Peter Parker would remind him of how alone he is without MJ, Ned and his other connections with the Avengers.

He should be recklessly throwing himself into being Spider-man above everything else, giving us an excuse for a lot of Spider-man action which is what the audience want to see and allowing us to tell a storyline that's not been told in film before. The opposite of the Spider-man No More storyline, him ditching his life as Peter Parker. All responsibility, zero time for his life.

Raimi's Spider-man 2 had echo's of this concept, but it's a massive untapped goldmine of exploring Peter Parker at his absolute lowest and the idiots in-charge have somehow come away with the opposite notion.

Interesting , I’m personally leaning towards it being moreso a dramatic role then one in a superhero film tbh…

However if she is cast in BND then I can see Liv moreso as a minor or secondary villain like Screwball or White Rabbit which doesn’t seem like it would fit the description of the part being “jaw dropping” though but we’ll see.

@slickrickdesigns - She has landed a rather big acting role for sure, since they confirmed it in a promo on RAW. Obviously they didn't reveal whether it was a Superhero role or not, we will see about that.
