The chances of cementing your prints on the Hollywood walk of fame at the age of 22 are less than half in many, however, for Jenna Ortega, who broke the glass ceiling through her unblinking yet goosebumps-inducing performance in Wednesday
, it is a walk in the park. More specifically, a walk in the park that, along with the rise in popularity that she has been enjoying, has earned her an offer and a few from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Now that Marvel is no longer merely the next big thing but the only thing, any rising star not tied to the studio feels more like an oversight than a choice. And Jenna Ortega, that pop darling, is precisely the sort of glossy icon the superhero factory thrives on, with her history with the studio being the cherry on top. Therefore, when scoop-shop MyTimeToShineHello suggested Ortega’s entrance into the MCU

Even as fans suggested roles for her in Marvel, the impact her Wednesday

As long as she ends up being a Young Avenger or a member of the X-Men, I’m good. The Young Avengers need more star power and I think she’d be a pretty good fit for the X-Men.

I wish it was DC. She would be a great Raven

While Marvel is definitely the bigger bird here, a few fans have stayed loyal to Jenna Ortega’s fan casting as Raven in DC
