This year, the flux between the cinematic and musical universes has brought fans twice the reasons for celebration with stars like Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, and Selena Gomez trading their on-stage spotlight for red carpet premieres. Though Grande and Gomez began their careers as child actors, this jump-ship was different in more ways than one. With the duo already making rounds of high-profile award-season discussions, Grande may be eyeing permanency in the industry as the rumor mill is fanning the flames for an MCU role, prompting fans to throw their super suggestions.

Speculations and fan theories are a big part of showbiz, especially in comic-book adaptations. Whenever the gossip grapevine of the Marvel Cinematic Universe picks up pace, fans waste no time at all in revisiting the comics to support their theories. Right after Marvel Updates on X reported about the studio’s alleged interest in Ariana Grande for a role in the superhero universe, despite no confirmation from the studio itself, fans have been losing it just at the sheer anticipation of its truth.

Ariana Grande’s Wicked entry to the big screens landed her in big-impact cinematic conversations. However, the minute potential of the MCU rumor attaining reality has fans flipping through the pages of comics, with some even vouching for the character Taylor Swift did not slip into for Deadpool & Wolverine after months of speculation. Although not all fans are sold on the idea, the rumor has yet to be confirmed. But the enthusiasm remains abundant.

Though Taylor Swift passed on her chance to dazzle Deadpool & Wolverine as Dazzler, fans now hope Ariana Grande picks that superhero suit and brings justice.

The comic book universe, whether MCU or DCU, has several new players. However, considering the turnover of Lady Gaga’s musical and the subsequent frustration in fans, Ariana Grande’s rumored prospect for an MCU debut is leaving fans split. Of course, many see the potential of such a casting if it turns out to be true, but the dedicated defense line of comic adaptation is treading steps all the more carefully.

Many fans unanimously want Grande to give Dazzler its deserving entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

On the flip side, plenty of netizens are attesting a negative stamp of approval. With some contesting the choice by citing the impulsive influx of anyone and everyone in the MCU, comic geeks are turning the tables of anticipation into an atmosphere of contention. However, given a confirming nod still awaits from the top dogs of MCU, it remains to be seen which camp emerges wickedly victorious.
