Who’s this? And I’m assuming by the crocs that this is a bts pic, not a character pic?

She’s playing Val’s assistant

I'm disappointed the rumors of that character being revealed to be Songbird likely aren't true.

Maybe she was until Ayo dropped out

u/SofiaTrixieFox1 avatar

Ayo dropped out right before filming began, which would leave next to no time to change the character. Besides, Ayo was said to play Val's assistant when the recast was announced

u/starksgh0st avatar

Nah. Ayo would have been cast for her comedic talent, so this was almost certainly always the role of Val's assistant. It seems to me the Songbird talk emerged because people refuse to consider someone might be playing a non-superhero role.

I recall u/starksgh0st theorizing that the character of Val’s assistant was originally going to be called “Melissa Gold” (aka, Songbird). Which is probably what prompted the rumors if leakers knew about the original scripted name.

That's interesting. I wonder why they would've changed it? You'd think it would be an opportunity to set-up the character to appear later on.

Or maybe the character wears crocs in the movie.

Not out of realm of possibility. I know Carol kicked some on her spaceship in the Marvels.

We cant blame them, these shits are badass.

I was literally just thinking that they got me so hard up for Marvel news that I'm staring at a photo of a stranger in crocs thinking "is this hype?"

Actors usually have comfy shoes to wear between takes of their dress shoes which can be boots or in her case heels.

Such a shame she's playing a minor character, Geraldine is a great actress.

u/Beta_Whisperer avatar

I remember when she's a fancast for Ms Marvel.

Ayo Edebiri was going to play that character, Alex P. said that she was going to be Songbird in the movie, but it seems that it was fake news 😒

u/PLEASEBENICET0ME avatar

You think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?

Recently watched Drive-Away Dolls and she was great on it.

I wonder if her role is much bigger than we think (in the general MCU at least) since they originally cast Ayo Edebiri who's really big nowadays.

u/Danbito avatar

I think she may be important to the plot but not to the extent we conventionally think like her being Songbird

Isn’t that the girl from that one popular Netflix show?

u/Patrick2701 avatar

She was in popular TBS show

u/BenLemons avatar

She's also in Blockers which is hilarious

Those shoes.

Nice! Loved her in Miracle Workers.

Is Thunderbolts just heroes and villains walking around in suits?

u/SidesOfaBanana avatar

Shes playing person on street #69

u/dylan30954 avatar

I can always appreciate wearing crocs in sport mode while wearing a pantsuit

Please let her be a teen genius, please let her be a teen genius 🤞

u/BenSolo_Cup avatar

Omg I love her this is awesome

I liked her in "The Package", so I hope she'll deliver her role well!

u/ZekeMoss18 avatar

How fun would it be if she is playing Lucia Von Bardas
