Is Sabrina Carpenter about to trade the stage for superpowers? The rumors kinda say yes! According to insider chatter, the singer-actress has reportedly met with Marvel Studios to discuss playing the mutant pop star Dazzler in an upcoming project. While some fans were hoping Taylor Swift might snag the role, it looks like Sabrina’s name is climbing the list, especially with the long-anticipated X-Men reboot still brewing behind the scenes.

Sabrina’s not new to acting. She’s starred in a bunch of projects like The Hate U Give, Clouds, and even slayed as Cady Heron in Mean Girls on Broadway. She’s also voiced interest in action roles, telling Yahoo! back in 2022 that she’s been dreaming of doing a movie like Kick-Ass since she was little. So playing a mutant singer who shoots light beams? Yep, that kind of sounds like her thing!

Casting for the new X-Men movie hasn’t officially kicked off yet, but several names are floating around for key roles, including Margaret Qualley and Hunter Schafer. Michael Lesslie (The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes) wrote the current script, though a rewrite is likely before cameras roll. There’s no release date just yet, but Marvel fans are watching closely. Whether Sabrina Carpenter gets the role or not remains unclear. Meanwhile, she’s been busy gearing up to release her upcoming studio album Man’s Best Friend, with a cover photo that has stirred up controversy!
