Lindsay Lohan To Play A Superhero In The MCU? A Wild Marvel Casting Rumor Explained
Which Vixen superhero may the new report be referencing? X users speculated several notable heroes, including Tigra, the half-cat, half-human character who has been a fixture in the comics for years. Commenting about the potential casting, @Hawkmaestro21 wrote, “Lindsay Lohan as Tigra would eat up.” @ZeroYear97 agreed, remarking, “I’d love to see Lohan get cast as Hellcat or Tigra in the MCU for a future project.” @JesusCuapi91540 suggested Lohan would make a great Medusa, another red-headed hero from the Inhumans, calling the idea “dope.” Meanwhile, user @stormflight2106 didn’t mention a character but added, “She’s a very talented actress despite her past. I think she would be an amazing addition.“
Lohan might seem like an odd choice to join the MCU given her checkered past, but that’s precisely the kind of risk Marvel took when casting Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man. Now, Lohan’s potential role won’t be as groundbreaking or influential as Downey’s Tony Stark, but casting her would show that Marvel Studios is willing to give another actor a second chance after their career almost flatlined due to their very public struggles. Lohan getting a role in the MCU would be unexpected, but under the right circumstances, it could make sense.
