Billie Eilish Rumored to Join Marvel Cinematic Universe in Major Role

Industry insider Daniel Richtman recently revealed that Marvel Studios is in talks with nine-time Grammy and Oscar winner Billie Eilish for a major role in their cinematic universe. This exciting news follows the recent use of Eilish's track "You Should See Me in a Crown" in the latest episode of Agatha All Along.

From Music Star to Potential Superhero

The 22-year-old artist has already proven her acting chops with her debut role as Eva in Prime Video's Swarm, where she received widespread acclaim for her performance. In a previous interview with Variety, Eilish shared her longtime passion for acting, revealing her background in theater before her music career took center stage. "The offer for Swarm was my dream," she had expressed.

Potential Marvel Characters for Eilish

Fans and industry experts are speculating about which character Eilish might portray. Here are the leading possibilities:

Rogue

The most prominent theory points to the X-Men character previously played by Anna Paquin

Eilish's darker artistic aesthetic could bring a fresh interpretation to the powerful mutant

Other Possibilities

Gwen Stacy from the Spider-Man universe

Deathbird, the exiled princess of the Shi'ar Empire

Timeline and MCU Integration

With Marvel's Phase Five in full swing, any potential role for Eilish would likely debut after the 2025 releases of Captain America: New World Order and Thunderbolts. The X-Men project, which entered early development in 2023, could be a perfect entry point for the singer-turned-actress.

Career Implications

Should Eilish take on a major role like Rogue, she might need to temporarily step back from her music career. However, her successful balancing act in Swarm suggests she could potentially manage both careers effectively.

Marvel's Music Connection

This potential casting follows Marvel's previous interest in bringing music artists into their universe, including earlier discussions with Taylor Swift for the role of Dazzler in Deadpool & Wolverine. While that particular casting didn't materialize, it shows Marvel's continued interest in bridging the music and superhero worlds.
