Marvel has always had a diverse group of superheroes on its roster. From heroes of Chinese descent to some literal Viking gods and African descendants, we have seen the MCU bring most of them to life. And of course, the roster is incomplete without the Latin community. And who better to join the Marvel extravaganza than the most extravagant artist herself – Jennifer Lopez?

Jennifer Lopez to MCU – Yay or Nay?

Recently, Kat Coiro the director of Marvel’s upcoming Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, subtly invited one of the world’s most popular female celebrities to join the Marvel family. And it’s none other than the Latin popstar, Jennifer Lopez herself. JLo is one of the world’s highest-selling artists, with more than 80 million records sold worldwide.

Lopez recently got married to beau Ben Affleck, after reuniting with the Batman actor last year. The couple had a low-key wedding at a Las Vegas chapel with only their children in attendance. And then flew to Paris for almost a month-long honeymoon, where JLo also celebrated her 53rd birthday.

While Lopez’s husband is a big name in the acting world, the singer herself hasn’t had much luck in that department. Nonetheless, she has acquired an extensive filmography over the years, and it’s not too out there for fans of the artist to want her to be a part of the Marvel discourse. After Coiro’s subtle hint to the media, we have come up with a list of superheroes off the top of our head, who JLo could play, if she desired to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
