Following a wave of online speculation linking pop-culture juggernaut Sabrina Carpenter to Marvel’s highly anticipated, mainline live-action X-Men reboot, an industry insider has apparently shared the star’s potential role.
Following a report by Daniel Richtman that indicated Marvel Studios was pursuing Carpenter for a role in the film, Jeff “The In” Sneider responded by sharing an image of X-Men baddie turned leader Emma Frost.
Before she was dominating global music charts, Carpenter cut her teeth as an actor on Girl Meets World, meaning her institutional relationships with the upper echelons of the Walt Disney Company are incredibly strong.
Previously, it was believed that Marvel’s targeted creative direction for Carpenter centered squarely on Alison Blaire, aka Dazzler—the legendary mutant pop star who possesses the unique genetic ability to convert sonic vibrations and music directly into blinding, hard-light laser bursts; however, Carpenter could pull off a young, cold-hearted Frost just as well.
With SDCC just around the corner, it wouldn’t be surprising to learn that the studio is zeroing in on key members of the cast in hopes of having them come together on the Hall H stage. With Avengers: Secret Wars set to kick off production in August, Marvel can make a big splash by revealing their new X-Men.
