As the Marvel cinematic universe continues to grow every year, we are also seeing the addition of more characters and stars. Earlier today, it was revealed that Marvel has allegedly cast the Harry Potter star Natalia Tena, who is also all set to join the MCU soon, and fans can’t help but wonder about the role of which iconic character the actress will be portraying.
Brie Larson has remained cryptic about her return to Marvel
Brie Larson is one of the most established actresses in the industry at the moment, and the Marvel star is always making headlines for one reason or another. Larson has had a fantastic career over the years, and the actress has also gone on to win multiple distinguished awards, including an Academy Award, which she won back in 2015 for her work in Room.
Brie Larson is also very well known for her portrayal of Carol Danvers, aka Captain Marvel in the MCU. The American actress first portrayed the role of the iconic character in 2019 in Captain Marvel and has gone on to make multiple appearances in many Marvel projects since then.
Most recently, she reprised her role as Captain Marvel in The Marvels movie which did not do as well at the box office as everyone had hoped. The Marvels was a massive critical and commercial failure and largely received negative reviews from fans and critics.
After the failure of The Marvels, Brie Larson was still somewhat hopeful of her return to the MCU and looking forward to future projects. However, in a recent interview with Extra at the SAG Awards, the actress was asked about her return to Marvel, and her response was very cryptic. She said,
“I don’t have anything to say about that.”
The Marvels is currently streaming on Disney+.
Natalia Tena is allegedly joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Earlier this week, it was revealed that the Harry Potter actress, Natalia Tena will allegedly be joining the MCU soon. Tena has allegedly also filmed all of her scenes indicating that the project might be released soon enough.
Marvel’s fans couldn’t help but speculate which character Natalia Tena would be playing, and many fans took to X(formerly Twitter) and said the actress might play the role of the mutant, Rogue.

Although Rogue commonly appeared with the X-Men, initially, she was a part of an evil organization known as Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. In the comics, Rogue is a mutant who has the ability to absorb anyone’s memories, superpowers, and life force just by touching an individual.
In one of the storylines from the comics, Rogue permanently steals Carol Danvers’ powers from her and attains the power of Captain Marvel for herself.
Considering the news about Natalia Tena joining the MCU and Brie Larson being cryptic about her future in Marvel, it won’t come as a huge surprise if Marvel decides to pursue the X-Men storyline for putting Captain Marvel out of action for a few movies.
