10 New Marvel Cinematic Universe Casting Rumours You Need To Know About
10. Erin Kellyman As Songbird
The Falcon and The Winter Soldier was supposed to debut on Disney+ back in August, but current world events made that impossible, and shooting has only just resumed on the series in Atlanta, Georgia. Now, it's unlikely to arrive until next year, but one eagle-eyed fan has spotted evidence that Solo: A Star Wars Story actress Erin Kellyman is playing Thunderbolts member Songird.
According to this report, "Georges [St-Pierre] was filming in a park standing with Desmond [Chaim] by a bench, while Erin sat between them on the back of the bench with her feet on the seat. He could not hear any dialogue but said Erin’s character used some kind of power, unclear how, to impress the two."
"The power involved extras near them in a field stopping, simultaneously looking at the phones, looking up, and all walking towards them in a group and as if in a trance."
While Kellyman wasn't in a costume, these powers sound very similar to Songbird, a character it's been rumoured will be part of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier for a while now. A group of female villains have also been spotted on set, and it's likely this iteration of the character will be part of "The Grapplers" at this stage in her supervillain career.
