Millie Bobby Brown may be about to trade the Upside Down for the multiverse. According to scooper MyTimeToShineHello, the 22-year-old is reportedly in final talks with Marvel Studios for a major role in the MCU, the kind of casting move that sends fandom group chats into meltdown. Marvel and Disney haven’t confirmed a thing, so file this under rumor for now. But given how long Brown’s name has floated around the studio, the chatter feels less like wishful thinking and more like an inevitability finally coming due.
And the timing? Impeccable. Brown is once again proving she’s box-office kryptonite, or rather, streaming kryptonite. Enola Holmes 3 just became Netflix’s most-watched title of the week, racking up more than 20 million views in its first five days, even though it earned the franchise’s weakest reviews yet. Critics may have shrugged, but audiences showed up in droves, cementing what Hollywood already knows: Brown is still one of the most bankable stars under 25, full stop. Her empire may live on Netflix, but her pull is undeniable.
From Eleven and Enola Holmes to X-Men? Inside Millie Bobby Brown’s Rumored Marvel Move
If the Marvel deal closes, Brown wouldn’t be the only Stranger Things face heading to the MCU. Her co-star Sadie Sink is rumored to be suiting up as Jean Grey, which means the Hawkins reunion could be happening on a very different soundstage. Imagine the two of them sharing the screen as mutants. The nostalgia alone could power a whole phase.
So who would Brown play? The most persistent whispers point to the X-Men reboot, where the casting rumor mill has been working overtime. Odessa A’zion has been eyed for Rogue, Inde Navarrette has reportedly met with the director, and Sydney Sweeney is rumored to be circling Emma Frost, among others. Brown’s telekinetic résumé as Eleven has fans betting she’d slot perfectly into a powerhouse mutant role, with Jean Grey, Rogue, and Kitty Pryde all thrown around as possibilities over the past year.
Nothing’s official until Marvel says so. But if this one lands, it could be one of the biggest young-star casting coups of the decade, and proof that Brown’s next chapter is only getting bigger.
