Pop Star superheroes in future MCU projects?

Does anyone else think that the overnight KPop Demon Hunters will push Marvel to bring well-known pop star characters like Dazzler or Luna Snow into the MCU sooner rather than later?

I honestly believe that having a character like Dazzler as a member of initial MCU X-Men lineup will help separate it from the past live-action X-Men movies.

Dazzler shouldn’t be part of an X-Men lineup. I prefer her as a solo character who just exists and isn’t really a hero. Just a mutant who is famous.

But overall no I don’t think K-pop demon hunters will make Marvel focus on these far lesser known and not nearly as popular characters over ones that fans and casuals want to see

And she needs a show, not a movie. And it has to be a musical.

kyle03052025-10-17 18:58

Yes! Or it could be a mockumentary in the style of one of the million Taylor Swift documentaries. Would be a cool meta show since Marvel is enjoying their meta stuff recently. Also since people already compare Dazzler to Swift

I could see them doing something like that if Wonder Man ends up being a hit.

A musical with super powered celebs:

* Dazzler
* Lila Cheney
* Luna Snow
* Joshua Guthrie

Joshua is Cannonball's brother & has a super powered singing voice.

I forgot one: Jacqueline "Jackie" Tavares (aka Nightcat)

Hot_Consideration_862025-10-17 18:38

I doubt it, but I would love to see Lila Cheney in the MCU.

They have plenty of mutants to choose from to make them different or to focus on for that matter.

Those two would be great as cameos for a second season of she hulk though

Sossy20202025-10-17 19:13

I initially thought that about Luna but after how the first season turned out and especially after Tatiana Maslaney rallied her fans to boycott Disney during the Jimmy Kimmel suspension, the chances we’ll see She-Hulk in the MCU again are slim to none.

Melodic-Cycle39942025-10-17 19:17

Let's see how their TV slate will develop in the next couple of years. I do think a she hulk show that is more legal drama messy dating life focused and less about her alter ego has a lot of potential. If anything they might just recast which would be a shame because she was perfect

Sossy20202025-10-17 19:22

If that were to happen, maybe Marvel should bring in writers from Daredevil: Born Again or Better Call Saul to craft convincing legal drama/comedy since the writers of She-Hulk S1 admitted that they don’t know how to write that kind of material.

Melodic-Cycle39942025-10-17 19:32

Oh yeah absolutely agree. Make it the ally McBeal of the MCU and you could have so many fun cameos sprinkled in too

omegaphallic2025-10-17 19:57

It doesn't, know your audience.

Melodic-Cycle39942025-10-17 19:59

They should retool it for the people that actually watched it and enjoyed it which is the girls and the gays

I am the audience

omegaphallic2025-10-17 20:08

Then if they do it, they need to cut the budget to Agatha levels.

Melodic-Cycle39942025-10-17 20:10

Sure why not. There was never any need for her to do her office job in hulk form IMO

A_Serious_House2025-10-17 19:33

While Maslany’s personal feelings may keep her from working with Disney in the future, that doesn’t really mean anything to Disney. If Disney believes bringing Maslany back will be successful or profitable in any way, they’ll do it. Pleasing the shareholders is their ultimate goal. While I don’t see a situation where Maslany’s inclusion in a Disney project makes that much of a difference to Disney fans, no company would stop working with her if they thought she could earn them some money.

omegaphallic2025-10-17 19:58

There is no reason for Disney to do that. She-Hulk was a failed series. Let it rest in peace.

A_Serious_House2025-10-17 20:01

She-Hulk was not a failed series, it was the most successful original Disney Plus series of 2022. That’s even better than Moon Knight.

Did it have enough viewership to justify its budget? No. But was it failed? Absolutely not, anyone saying that is just ignorant of how successful it really was.

Go look at some actual data and facts before spewing idiotic opinions that aren’t even true.

If She-Hulk was a failed series, Moon Knight was an even bigger failure lol.

aestheticdisasterr2025-10-17 18:54

Like, the logic of what you’re saying makes sense, and maybe the executives have even considered it themselves, but personally I don’t trust Marvel to successfully ride the K-pop Demon Hunters wave. It’s true that characters like Dazzler or Luna Snow have been around for quite a while and that they have stories, roles and powers that are quite intriguing, but I’d rather see the MCU bring them in when they have something genuinely interesting to add to this universe, instead of now when, beyond what you’re pointing out, I can’t quite see where they’d fit into the current tapestry of the MCU 🤔

eBICgamer20102025-10-17 19:09

I'm surprised you didn't add Spider-Gwen in this u/sossy2020. Sure, not a singer but she has a band of her own canonically.

That being said I don't know if Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man will do anything of note with both Gwen and Luna Snow's musical career.

Sossy20202025-10-17 19:11

The thing is Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man doesn’t exist in the mainline MCU continuity, plus I doubt the show will do much more with Luna beyond her blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo from S1.

SoftBaconWarmBacon2025-10-17 19:32

I vaguely remember there was a rumor of Taylor Swift as Dazzler in DP3

Own_Information81562025-10-17 20:19

I actually made a similar post a couple of weeks ago except i suggested a high school musical/descendants themed strange academy movie set in a different universe but i love your idea as well. I think the op could work if its a standalone movie set in a different timeline.

Sossy20202025-10-17 20:21

Maybe something like the 828 universe where there are only a few super-powered beings and they’re all musical artists.

Own_Information81562025-10-17 20:29

Don't hate this idea either, lol. Just as long as it's set in a separate timeline. I think kevin feige and the mcu not utilizing the multiverse to its fullest extent, and having one-off stories set in different timelines is a massive disservice and a huge missed opportunity, and limits creativity.

Sossy20202025-10-17 20:40

And that’s why Feige and Marvel will most likely abandon multiverse stories after Secret Wars—well that and Jonathan Majors getting shitcanned for beating on his girlfriend.

Own_Information81562025-10-17 20:56

Sad but true

eltrotter2025-10-17 20:28

I’m still of the view that Sabrina Carpenter would be a good Dazzler in a smaller or cameo role. She’s a great singer and a better actor than people give her credit for.

fitzgizzle2025-10-17 21:04

They should do a pop star villain who is constantly flying around the world emitting greenhouse gasses, and using mind control to force people to buy the same albums over and over again.

Sossy20202025-10-17 21:05

I could see something like that for She-Hulk

Sossy20202025-10-17 21:15

I already pitched this is a while back but I could definitely see Luna appearing in Shang Chi 2 alongside some other well-known Asian heroes from the comics to set up an Agents of Atlas movie.
