Most fans want her to play Dazzler, a mutant rock star who is able to convert sound into light. The same scooper previously reported that Carpenter would definitely be playing this role, and while nothing has been confirmed, it would admittedly make plenty of sense for <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/marvel\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Marvel;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Marvel<\/a> to cast the world\u2019s biggest pop star in their cinematic universe ahead of bringing the X-Men and other mutants to the big screen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">What is perhaps most interesting about this casting possibility is that it would revive a Marvel movie dream that died nearly three decades before <em>Iron Man<\/em> launched the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/ent\/the-best-marvel-memes-from-every-phase-of-the-franchise.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:MCU;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">MCU<\/a>. Before she ever graced the page of a comic book, Dazzler was conceived as a collaboration between Marvel and Casablanca Records, where the former would create a new singer-turned-superhero and the latter would create a real-life record of this new mutant character\u2019s songs. Marvel editor-in-chief Jim Shooter wrote a treatment for a half-hour animated special, but he was soon asked to write a script for a full-length feature film.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\"><strong>The Craziest Marvel Movie Never Made<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/oFR.ep4EjLt9trEhlKdDOQ--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/giant_freakin_robot_articles_628\/879de89db292165d6aac5902678ce688\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The feature film was going to star Bo Derek as Dazzler and had a cast that included Rodney Dangerfield, Cher, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/robin-williams\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Robin Williams;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Robin Williams<\/a>, and KISS. However, after Derek insisted that her inexperienced husband direct the film, the Dazzler movie lost all of its funding, and the project died.

Ironically, Stan Lee later commented on the possibility of a Dazzler movie before his death, but only in a joking and ironic way: in trying to ensure the event would be well-attended, Lee joked that he was going to \u201cmake a Dazzler movie starring Lady Gaga\u201d if nobody came to see him at Comikaze Expo.

As a worldwide star, she definitely has the aura and stage presence to convincingly play the coolest rock star in the Marvel universe (sorry, Lila Cheney fans, I said what I said). Plus, she\u2019s got the musical chops to create custom songs for the MCU, which would be in the vein of what Marvel wanted to do with this character decades ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This casting would effectively revive one of Stan Lee\u2019s earliest dreams of seeing this Marvel character transcend the printed page and become a multimedia sensation. Only time will tell, of course, if the scooper is right or if Carpenter is just the latest in a long list of pop stars (including <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/taylor-swift\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Taylor Swift;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Taylor Swift<\/a>) rumored to play this mighty mutant. If the rumor ends up being true, we\u2019ll just have to hope Carpenter tones down some of her naughty dance moves for the silver screen, or the first X-Men movie may end up with an R-rating!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The late, great Stan Lee is still credited as Marvel\u2019s biggest creative force, and many fans see the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the culmination of the man\u2019s decades of hustling in the crowded world of publishing.
