When you look at the current state of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there's no denying that the billion-dollar franchise has expanded exponentially since its inception. And while some may think that the roster is getting a little too overcrowded, Marvel Studios has barely scratched the surface. In fact, there are still loads of characters (from all tiers imaginable) that have yet to be featured.

Speaking of, one of the actors fans have been keeping an eye on is Daisy Ridley. The Star Wars sequel trilogy headliner ended her stint in a galaxy far, far away in 2019 and since then, the comic book film fandom has constantly expressed its collective desire to see the Rey Skywalker actress jump ship to the MCU.

Ridley is also no stranger to the MCU casting rumors, with previous reports claiming she's being eyed by Sony Pictures to play Jessica Drew aka Spider-Woman in a spinoff project. Now, Ridley is once again fueling speculation surrounding her potential Marvel future.

It turns out that the 30-year-old star was in attendance at Black Panther: Wakanda Forever's European premiere. Naturally, it led many to believe that she might be finally MCU-bound, especially considering this marks the first time she's appeared in a Marvel event. On Twitter, speculation is once again running high that her attendance has something to do with her future casting. Check out some of the reactions below:
