Is Sabrina Carpenter finally joining the MCU? The latest rumor suggests that the beloved popstar may be taking on the role of an even more beloved X-Men.
Sabrina Carpenter has absolutely exploded over the last few years, with songs like Espresso and Juno sitting at the top of the charts for weeks on end. And with her next studio album due out later this year, fans have been left wondering where the popstar will be taking her career next. Given the singer originally got her start acting for Disney, some have speculated that she might be making a jump to the MCU in the coming years.
This speculation has been ignited once more with the latest rumor from MyTimeToShineHello. The scooper reveals that Marvel Studios is eyeing Sabrina Carpenter to play Dazzler in the MCU. The character is a frequent member of the X-Men, best known for being a mutant popstar with a flair for bombastic music and sparkles. Just from that description alone, many would assume Carpenter would be the perfect pick.
Is Sabrina Carpenter Playing Dazzler In The MCU?
Of course, the rumor mill has gotten smart with hedging their bets over the last few years. With the report just saying that Sabrina Carpenter is being “eyed” for the role of Dazzler, there’s no way to falsify the report. And, if she does appear in the MCU’s X-Men reboot, the scooper can point back to their rumor and say that they knew it all along.
One major factor that could prove fatal for this rumor is that the MCU is on the backfoot. The next phase needs to be a major hit in order to keep the franchise going, which means only the biggest X-Men heroes will be getting a solo movie. And for as big as Sabrina Carpenter is, Dazzer is far from a household name, meaning it’s unlikely they’ll be getting their own project anytime soon.
