Kristen Stewart Will Star In A Marvel Movie On One Condition

Let’s speculate wildly for a moment: if Greta Gerwig got involved with Marvel Studios and asked Kristen Stewart to appear as a character from the original comics, who could she possibly play? There are a few options available … and any one of them could be fascinating. (It’s important to note that, in these character descriptions, we are barely scratching the surface of what these characters have done in the comics.)

First, there’s Kate Pryde, whom longtime «X-Men» readers and fans of the films where she was played by Elliot Page, know as Kitty. In the aftermath of her possession by the demon ninja Ogun, she grows up quickly. Taking on the codename Shadowcat, she becomes a formidable fighter. For a while, she even ends up in space and becomes Star-Lord, temporarily taking over the codename and responsibilities of her former fiancée, Peter Quill, played in the MCU by Chris Pratt.

Then there’s Callisto — who, yes, was previously played in «X-Men: The Last Stand» by Dania Ramirez — an extremely tough mutant who’s a beautiful woman covered in scars. The eyepatch-wearing Callisto forges an alliance with Storm after the two face off and fight over the leadership of a group of sewer-dwelling mutant outcasts known as Morlocks. Sure, it’s a strange part, but Stewart hasn’t ever shied away from offbeat material.

Finally, what about Black Cat? Sure, Felicia Hardy is basically Spider-Man’s answer to Batman’s Catwoman, but she’s very cool. If Gerwig could concoct a brilliant «Barbie» movie based on a doll, she could certainly craft a compelling narrative based around a jewel thief with the power to curse those who cross her with bad luck.
