Two Surprise Stars Spark Intense MCU Casting Rumors After Thunderbolts Premiere Appearance

BBG News

At the unanticipated debut of “Thunderbolts*”, two well-known actors unexpectedly showed up, fueling rumors that they might soon be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The grand premiere of “Thunderbolts*” was held recently, and guests were delighted to see several film stars walking the red carpet, including Florence Pugh, David Harbour, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. However, some unannounced attendees who weren’t part of the cast (or the MCU) also graced the event with their presence.

On an unexpected turn of events, actresses Nathalie Emmanuel from “Game of Thrones” and Jodie Turner-Smith known for “Queen & Slim,” graced the world premiere of “Thunderbolts” in London, England on April 22, despite having no role in the film or the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This unusual presence sparked excitement among fans who speculate that Emmanuel and Turner-Smith might be joining the MCU soon. Interestingly, they were the only non-MCU cast members at the premiere. Alongside other “Thunderbolts” actors and other Marvel stars like Pedro Pascal and Simu Liu, these two actresses walked the red carpet.

With numerous Marvel Studios projects in development, speculation about cast members like Emmanuel and Turner-Smith in upcoming movies such as the X-Men series, it’s not surprising that there will be ongoing conjecture concerning their attendance at the Thunderbolts premiere, despite any denials from the actors themselves.

Emmanuel and Turner-Smith have been widely suggested by fans as potential actors for the MCU’s portrayal of Storm, a character that was previously strongly associated with Halle Berry. A new X-Men movie is already in development at Marvel Studios, and given Storm’s significance to the team, it seems likely that she will be included in the film.

On social media, numerous fans are already discussing the possibility that Emmanuel and Turner-Smith might be playing roles in both Thunderbolts and X-Men, with Storm and Rogue being the most frequently suggested characters. Yet, it’s crucial to remember that an official casting confirmation from Marvel Studios has yet to be released.

Will Nathalie Emmanuel and Jodie Turner-Smith Eventually Join the MCU?

It’s quite normal to see actors at a movie premiere, even if they aren’t part of that specific film or series. Sometimes, these events bring together actors, musicians, social media personalities, and other famous figures to enjoy the movie.

It’s worth noting that Emmanuel and Turner-Smith were the sole actors not associated with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) at the Thunderbolts premiere, which is intriguing given their frequent mentions in fan casting discussions.

It’s intriguing to watch the duo at the premiere, as there might be something deeper happening off-screen. Yet, without an official statement from Marvel Studios or one of the actors, fans can only guess about the specifics.

Keep in mind, these upcoming movies, titled “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Avengers: Secret Wars“, are just about to hit theatres. Notably, Marvel Studios has confirmed that the X-Men will play a significant role in both films. So far, it’s been announced that several actors who previously portrayed X-Men characters in Fox’s movies, such as Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, and James Marsden, are expected to appear in “Doomsday“.

It’s plausible that Marvel Studios might introduce fresh X-Men members in either “Doomsday” or “Secret Wars”. On the other hand, it could also be the case that any new X-Men characters will be saved for what seems to be a future storyline, which I would refer to as the “Mutant Saga”, following “Secret Wars”.

As a movie enthusiast, let me clarify any speculation about those two actresses attending the Thunderbolts premiere indicating their presence in the film. It’s wise to consider that they are probably not part of it. Given their stature as prominent actors, I would expect official announcements during the film’s production if they were involved.

Most significantly, you’ll spot Turner-Smith in the upcoming films titled “Tron: Ares” and “A Big Bold Beautiful Journey“. Emmanuel’s next role can be found in “Fast X: Part 2“.

The movie titled “Thunderbolts” has garnered exceptionally positive feedback, with some going as far as comparing it to the best film since “Avengers: Endgame.” Set for release on May 2nd, the film boasts an impressive cast including Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
