BALLERINA Star Ana de Armas Is Being Eyed For A "Big" Marvel Studios Role

Ana de Armas lit up the screen from her early days in Cuba’s Una rosa de Francia, then set Madrid ablaze in El Internado. By the time she hit Hollywood, she was unstoppable, sizzling in Knock Knock, stealing scenes in Blade Runner 2049, and charming the world in Knives Out. From Bond girl brilliance in No Time to Die to her haunting turn as Marilyn Monroe, she made history. Now, with Ballerina turning heads, even the mighty Marvel Universe seems desperate to bask in her glow.

Ana de Armas has established herself as a bona fide action star, with a scene-stealing turn in No Time to Die before she took centre stage in the John Wick spin-off, Ballerina.

There have been rumblings about the Knives Out star possibly taking on a role in the MCU a couple of times in the past, and scooper Daniel Richtman is now reporting that, "Ana de Armas is being eyed for a big Marvel role."

He doesn't elaborate on who she might play or what project this could be for, though Avengers: Doomsday was mentioned as a possibility last December. There are bound to be some new characters in that movie, with Ghost Rider currently expected to be its biggest new MCU debut.

"The stunt team, which was amazing, taught me all the basics for fighting and how to connect every move with the other so I could be flexible and prepare for anything they would just throw at me and improvise. Things always happen, so you have to be prepared."

Armas added, "Yeah, it was a long [shoot] but those three-and-a-half, four months that I had to prepare were really important and necessary for me to find myself in it and find the character, who she was and what her style was and what her deal was, including adding the ballet element."

The actress has been making headlines lately for supposedly dating Mission: Impossible franchise lead Tom Cruise. We'll see whether that affects the chances of her joining the MCU, though fans remain convinced that he'll play an Iron Man Variant in Avengers: Doomsday and/or Avengers: Secret Wars.

While I'm sure she'd make a great Wonder Woman, I'm still rooting for Adria Arjona to get the part. I've also heard some say she's rumored to get the part of Rogue. I don't know if I can see her as Rogue either, or if she can even pull off a southern accent.

If there was a role I would love to see her take on it would be Psylocke.
