Caitlyn Jenner Wants To Play “The Baddest-Ass Lady” In Marvel


Caitlyn Jenner might not have that much experience acting, but the celebrity is still hoping that she'll get the chance to play a Marvel villain someday.

Variety just recently released a special issue on transgender Hollywood, and the publication got to speak with Jenner about her secret meetings with the members of Congress in the fight for equality. Surprisingly, during the interview with the publication, Jenner revealed that she might actually be open to the idea of acting, saying that her dream was to become a villain for Marvel.

"In a Marvel movie, I want to play the baddest-ass lady you've ever seen in your life," Jenner told the publication. "They got the wicked queen or the wicked lady. Just do the makeup and the outfit. And I got the deep voice."

While most are familiar with the celebrity for her public transition, Jenner used to appear in a few television movies and guest-starred for six episodes in CHiPs, an 80's police series. Before she transitioned, Jenner also tried auditioning for Superman, though the part eventually went to Christopher Reeves.

According to the celebrity, news that Reeves had won the role came as a relief because she was still struggling to live as a man back then and Superman was one of the most prominent representations of manhood.

"And then four months later [after winning a gold medal at the 1976 Olympics] they call up: 'Would you be interested in a screen test for Superman?'" Jenner explained. "It was just too much for me. I would have gone down as the most macho guy in the world, and that's not me. It's not even close to me."

Right now Jenner would be much happier to audition for a role as a Marvel villainess – though she's not entirely sure which one she'd like to play.

Jenner is pretty sure though that she wants to "play that bad-ass bitch."

Which Marvel baddie do you think would suit Jenner? Maybe Miss Sinister? Or perhaps Lady Bullseye? Marvel has a lot of great baddies to choose from.
