A new rumor details that Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex is seeking a live-action superhero role.
The Daily Mail reports that Markle has tasked her agent Nick Collins to find her role in an upcoming superhero film.
A source tells the Daily Mail that Collins “wants her return to acting to be part of an ensemble cast in something like a superhero film.”
The source adds, “He’s actively seeking such a movie for her. He’s saying she is available and open to the best offers.”
Not only is Collins reportedly seeking a superhero role for Markle, but apparently he’s already setting up meetings. The source states, “Meghan is planning a series of meeting in Hollywood. She has already done the voiceover for Disney and now word is out that she’s looking for a superhero film, as a voiceover or even on screen.”

Not only is Markle seeking a superhero role, but it appears she and her agent have eyes on a Marvel Cinematic Universe role. The source reveals, “Pretty much every A-list actress including Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Alba, Margot Robbie, Jennifer Lawrence and Halle Berry have starred in superhero movies. There used to be a certain stigma attached to Marvel films but now they are the biggest market in the world. That’s what Meghan wants.”
However, Markle might not be Disney’s top choice for a Marvel superhero. An anonymous Disney executive told The Daily Mail, “Meghan needs Disney more than Disney needs Meghan. She’s a controversial figure.”
The Disney exec added, “There have been reports of a deal but that’s not true beyond the voiceover work.”
At The Lion King premiere, Prince Harry spoke with then Disney CEO Bob Iger about Markle’s voiceover work.
