Producer Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas discussed the possibility of seeing Hustlers star Jennifer Lopez appear in a Marvel film.

This week, Jennifer Lopez earned Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for her acclaimed performance in Hustlers. Produced with her partner at Nuyorican Productions, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, Hustlers featured Jennifer Lopez as a veteran stripper who forms a crew to steal money by drugging the wealthy patrons of their club.

During an interview with IndieWire, the outlet posed the question of why Hustlers star Jennifer Lopez hasn’t appeared in a Marvel Studios film, especially considering the MCU’s need for Latinx representation. Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas noted that she and Jennifer Lopez have not been invited to join the Marvel franchise but added that they would be open to the idea of there was a great role for her to play:

“The truth is, we haven’t been invited. If we were invited into the Marvel franchise and there’s a great character, why not? They’re great stories. But we come at everything a little sideways. It’s been the road less taken, but maybe that’s the defining factor.”
