In Variety’s recent issue on transgender Hollywood, Caitlyn Jenner revealed that her dream acting role would be to play a Marvel movie.
“In a Marvel movie, I want to play the baddest-ass lady you’ve ever seen in your life,” Jenner said. “They got the wicked queen or the wicked lady. Just do the makeup and the outfit. And I got the deep voice.”
Before she transitioned, Jenner co-starred on TV’s “CHiPs” and she once auditioned for “Superman,” ultimately losing out to Christopher Reeve for the iconic role.
Jenner said that she had a difficult time after she won the gold medal at the 1976 Olympics decathlon. “I got all these issues inside me,” she said. She remembered asking herself, “Did I build up this character so big that I’m stuck with Bruce for the rest of my life?”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“And it scared the hell out of me,” Jenner said. “And then four months later, they call up: ‘Would you be interested in a screen test for ‘Superman’?” She auditioned, but she was relieved when she didn’t get the part.
“It was just too much for me,” Jenner said. “I would have gone down as the most macho guy in the world, and that’s not me. It’s not even close to being me.”
But what Marvel villainess would she play?
As Comicbook reports:
There are plenty of intense female villains in the Marvel universe, though choice of one would depend on a lot of factors, including which franchise.” With Cate Blanchett carving out her corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the powerful Hela in Thor: Ragnarok, Jenner might have a better shot over in the X-Men world — though with the Disney/Fox deal that might end up being the same playground.
Maybe Jenner could have a turn as the Mister Sinister cone, Miss Sinister. Of course, there don’t appear to be any real plans for Jenner to play a Marvel villainess, but if there ever were, Jenner is prepared to draw on her own experiences to bring the character to life.
“That’s why I want to play that bad-ass bitch,” she said. “I can play that girl.”

I am not sure there are many pushing 70 super hero roles

She is a mess. She does not support marriage equality. With all her millions she has no clue what authentic is. She is in a bubble that most people with that much money that find themselve.

I’m pretty sure the SJW douches would find that transphobic…you know before they have a Trans hero.

Smart take

It’s always adorable when one of the anti-LGBT right wing accounts exposes how much hate they have for people by using “SJW” as a pejorative.
So in other words, people that would like other people treated well are the enemy? Thank’s for making it so easy to spot you.

Why do you want to portray a fictional villain when you’re a villain in real life?
QueerTruth
Who cares? Caitlyn is not a friend of the LGBT community.

Caitlyn is not a superhero.
“Sometimes you have to put on a skirt to wear the pants” — TranSista My concept for a transgender superhero would be a very human one. As there is no greater superpower than self-realization. A character through very human action creates positive change–next door or around the world. There would be a cast of superhero friends and the requisite villains– Ray Zor — The scissor throwing hair stylist. Annie Malsong — The Asian lesbian veterinarian and an animal whisperer. Sue Nami —- The marine biologist and power over water. Flo — The billionaire genius and tech wizard. Esther O’Gen — The perfumer and Siren. Moe Lester —- The fundamentalist zealot.

Way to take the fun out of comic book superheroism.
Anyway, as per the OP on Caitlyn Jenner playing a marvel villainess. Even though i’m not a fan of hers at all, i think she could fit into the shoes of bad girl TITANIA. She could also play SHE-RED HULK.
I’m choosing these characters because they’ve got a sort of amazon-ish, slightly muscular build in the comics (but still sexy). It seems more her body type than say, Lady Deathstrike, Moonstone, Marvel’s Enchantress, Sin, Lady Bullseye, Miss Sinister and others who are usually portrayed in the comics as skinny or slender ladies.
With her body type and deep voice (??) she should fit in well as Titania. Especially with a top notch make up job to go with it. Of course, that is if we want to be comic accurate.

Bruce only auditioned for the role of Superman. He didn’t lose out to Christopher Reeve. Even if he had won the role, he would not have been the most macho guy in the world. Not by a long shot. Is that what he thought? So, being Bruce was a character? He does have issues.

This article fails to mention Bruce Jenner’s movie he made with The Village People. Can’t Stop The Music. Everyone who meets Caitlyn should say they were big fans of the movie. I bet her face would crack like an eggshell. Look it up it is b-movie of the disco movie genre.
OzJosh
Also, Bruce’s performance in Can’t Stop The Music will pretty much ensure that Bruce/Caitlyn will never appear in any other movie that isn’t home made.

SHE’S ALREADY A VILLAIN…!!!!
frankcar1965
She is the biggest crank there is. When will she do us all a favor and just jump off that bridge?
Terrycloth
She thinks shes a woman too…now she wants to date men…what will she come up with next to make some blip in the news ?
Jack Meoff
Can she even act? She was a mess in Can’t Stop The Music.
DCguy
She was telling LGBTs to vote for a political party that had as part of it’s platform a promise to do them harm.
She’s already a villain.

If all the folks who are LBGT I really dislike Jenner. She princes around getting all this attention making it seem like a party with his millions. Jenner has NO CLUE what it is really like for transgender folks. They are truly brave and courageous people. For Jenner it’s like an invitation to the best party of the year. Jenner is Republican, against marriage equality. I see far too much of that facelifting tramp. She’s so niave

Not Jenner she looks like a bartender in a very sweet bar in NYC

I thought Caitlyn Jenner was a villain already. Don’t need to see her be one in movies.

First off, why in the world is this even being reported on as if this is remotely a realistic possibility or relevant to LGBT news, entertainment news, or the like? Caitlyn ain’t bout $#!+, is a hardcore neo-con, and constantly acts brand new when people show out over not wanting to deal with LGBT folks or her included, specifically. It’s like she’s from another dimension of thought, sometimes. I’m at a point where Queerty posts a Caitlyn or shirtless no-top lip when he smiles having Gus Kenworthy post, or “I’m a ‘straight’ dude who has gay sex, but hey— no labels for me because I’m living a non-binary fluid existence in this judgement filled society, despite the fact you got teased and beat down and called all kinds of fag for having kissed a boy ass articles, just to see if we’re either paying attention or to troll the reader.
