American Horror Story Star Reportedly Eyed To Play MCU’s Spider-Woman

The MCU isn’t planning on slowing down with the character introductions any time soon, as the already crowded cinematic universe is now exploring bringing Spider-Woman into the mix. And according to our sources, the studio already have an actress in mind to take over the role.

We’re being told that American Horror Story star Emma Roberts is being eyed to play the superhero on the big screen. There’s even a chance she might debut in Spider-Man 3, though nothing is certain as of yet and from what we understand, she’s just one name on Marvel’s wishlist at the moment. And given that this intel comes to us from the same sources who said the studio is eyeing Daniel Radcliffe for Moon Knight and Tom Holland is in talks for a Venom 2 cameo, both of which we now know to be true, we’ve no reason to doubt it.

For those not familiar with Roberts, the 28-year-old actress made her debut in the crime film Blow back in 2001 before gaining more mainstream recognition for her lead role in the Nickelodeon show Unfabulous. She then went on to appear in several more features like Aquamarine, Nancy Drew, Wild Child, Hotel for Dogs, Valentine’s Day, It’s Kind of a Funny Story, The Art of Getting By, Scream 4, We’re the Millers, Nerve, Who We Are Now, Paradise Hills and more.

The series that really helped put her on the map though was Ryan Murphy’s creepy anthology American Horror Story. Her starring roles across multiple seasons of the program helped show off her talent and range in a way that many viewers hadn’t seen before. In fact, Murphy was so taken with the young performer that he decided to give her another main part in his comedy-horror show Scream Queens.

Of course, being cast in the MCU would easily be her most high-profile job to date. She isn’t the only rising star being considered, though, as mentioned above, but at the moment, we’re unsure of who else might be on the list.

We’ll of course keep an ear out for further updates and bring them to you as soon as they arise, but in the meantime, tell us, would you like to see Roberts as Spider-Woman, or do you think there’s another actress who could do a better job? Sound off in the comments section below.

Insidious Star Says She’s Unsure Of The Franchise’s Future

The 2010s were kinda spooky, huh? There were all those politics, wildfires, contaminated lettuce and, of course, spooks, specters, and ghosts. One of the major scary franchises over the last decade would have to be Insidious though. With four films under its horrific belt, it’s become a staple of the genre to many zoomers out there. However, despite making loads of cash, nobody knows what’s going on with it currently.

Sitting down for an interview with Bloody Disgusting’s The Boo Crew podcast, Insidious star Lin Shaye said that production on a fifth entry in the franchise was expected to get underway in 2019, but clearly that didn’t happen. She actually had quite a bit to say on the subject, espousing much on the future and explaining:

“I’ve asked about it! I know [my character is] dead, okay. I’m finally, really dead, and only in the Further in whatever [sequel] they do. There was some talk at one point – [but] nothing’s been talked about further. I think Blumhouse is so busy right now with so many things. I was nervous about the fourth one – part of me went, ‘Are they going to squeeze out another one?’ I was glorified by the fact that it was so successful and people loved the story. For me, it was heaven. It really was. But I don’t know the answer.

I know there’s been some talk of a possible [fifth Insidious], and I’ve heard talk about an outline, and it wouldn’t have Elise featured…I know [co-creator] James [Wan] had thoughts about going back to the first Insidious and exploring that family. That would be fun, but I also don’t want to beat a horse – if it’s it, and people go, ‘Gee I wish there was another one,’ well, too bad.”

Insidious: The Last Key was the highest earner of all in the entire franchise, raking in $167 million. Critics weren’t so kind to it, however, and I personally don’t know a single person who saw it. I’m not too hip or keen on this franchise. I think I may have seen the first one, but I believe I’m mixing it up with its kinda-sorta cousin, the spooky Sinister, which, just…the names, you know? How do you not confuse those?

In fact, I should make my own competing franchise and call it, like, Ominous or something. It’d work just as well. Heck, I might as well actually pitch that, since it seems like both franchises are currently stalled. After all, Blumhouse definitely has their hands full with ruining the Halloween series.

Maybe it’s fine that Insidious is on ice going into a new decade though. Maybe we can get some new ideas in 2020 and not make fifth movies anymore. How’s that for a resolution?
