Keke Palmer could be joining the MCU & here's who we want her to play
Keke in the MCU? Yes, please!

Just like everyone else in the multiverse, the Marvel Cinematic Universe wants Keke Palmer!
Palmer is one of the hottest personalities in Hollywood, starring in Jordan Peele's Nope in 2022 and becoming the first Black woman to win an Emmy for hosting a game show for Password. Next up, it looks like she's headed to the MCU.
A recent report says that Marvel is currently eying Palmer for a "big" role in an upcoming project. While there isn't any more information than that, we've got some definite ideas for who we think she should play!
1. Storm
Disney+
Storm is one of the most legendary X-Men and women superheroes of all-time, and Marvel is sure to be searching hard for someone to step into the weather goddess' shoes. Could Keke be the one?
2. Rogue

When it comes to X-Men, Palmer already has experience dressing up like this bayou babe! Two years ago when fans started to imagine her as the mutant Rogue in a movie, she gave us what we wanted and did a whole photoshoot and video as the character!
3. Mystique
20th Century Studios
Who says Palmer's mystery role is going to be a good guy? Maybe she'll step into the blue body paint of Rebecca Romijn and Jennifer Lawrence and play the X-Men villain and shapeshifter Mystique!
4. Spider-Woman
Sony Pictures Entertainment
While Jessica Drew has been introduced in animated form in Across the Spider-Verse, where she was voiced by Issa Rae, we'd love to see Palmer be the one to bring her to live action life on the big screen!
5. Kang the Conquerer
Marvel Comics
This is definitely a dark horse pick, but that's what makes it so exciting! The MCU's original Kang actor, Jonathan Majors was fired when he was charged with assault and harassment of his ex-girlfriend, so if they want to keep the character, they need to recast him. Why not cast Palmer as a female Kang variant and let her do her thing?
