After the end of phase 3 with Avengers: Endgame, MCU has been expanding into many small properties owned by them, including many Asian superheroes such as Ms. Marvel and Shang Chi. With Latinos also being a minority, Jennifer Lopez is under consideration to be included in the MCU.
Phase 4 has truly allowed Marvel to expand on their universe and allowed them to take risks. Finding more different movies and shows in the phase than before, while also having famous directors implement their ideas for production, such as Sam Raimi for Doctor Strange 2.

Will Jennifer Lopez join the MCU?
Considering the large fanbase and recent rise in popularity for marrying Ben Affleck, Marvel can find a lot of positives in casting Jennifer Lopez. This actually won’t be the first time an artist has been cast in the MCU as Harry Styles portrayed Eros in Eternals.

Since Kat Coiro has already worked with the “On the Floor” singer on the set of Marry Me, the She-Hulk director would be the perfect buffer for the MCU. The director also got all the actors she wanted to act in the film, so her ability to rein in Jennifer Lopez could be better than we expect.
I’ve always thought she would slay as Miles Morales’ mom. Who else do you guys think she could play?? #Marvel #MCU #MarvelStudios #JLO #JenniferLopez #MilesMorales #Spiderman https://t.co/J97onh4kJO
