Viola Davis Plans MCU Role as 'Iron Mania'

Viola Davis, the acclaimed actress known for her role as Amanda Waller in the DC Universe, has expressed her enthusiasm for joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). During a red carpet event for her film 'G20', she mentioned her daughter's passion for Marvel, stating, 'Yeah, absolutely' when asked about a potential MCU role. Davis humorously proposed an original character, 'Iron Shaniqua Mania', inspired by Iron Man, though she acknowledged that this character does not exist in the comics. While she currently portrays Waller in various DC projects, her interest reflects the trend of actors crossing between the two comic universes. Notably, the MCU has yet to introduce a new Iron Man since Robert Downey Jr.'s departure, leaving room for new characters. Davis's talent and experience could make her a strong addition to the MCU if the opportunity arises.
