The upcoming Thunderbolts film in the MCU marks Geraldine Viswanathan's fateful entry into the superhero franchise, a role she was once favored for as Ms. Marvel. The announcement, made in January 2024, marks a significant turn in Viswanathan's career, as she steps into a role initially intended for Emmy Award-winning actress Ayo Edebiri, who had to depart due to scheduling conflicts.
In an interview with ComicBook, Viswanathan expressed her excitement about joining the MCU. She stated: 'I've always wanted to join the universe in whatever capacity, and this just came up. Destiny called me on the phone and I picked up and I said, 'I'll be there.' Very excited.'
