10 Perfect Fantasy Castings For Upcoming Comic Book Movies

5. Kristen Stewart As Moondragon

With Robert Pattinson getting cast as Batman and Efron getting the (fantasy) nod for Johnny Storm, another modern teen idol whose career has been rebuilt could join the superhero canon too.

Not only was the Twilight Saga bad, but she was bad in it. However, just as people looked past that to Pattinson’s other movies after his casting, Stewart had brilliant performances in The Clouds Of Sils Maria, Personal Shopper and Still Alice. The upcoming Charlie’s Angels will provide her with some blockbuster and action experience as well.

She seems like a great pick for Moondragon, and has even rocked the shaven look previously. The character is a contender to appear in Guardians Of The Galaxy, Vol. 3 or the hypothetical Asgardians Of The Galaxy, as well as any upcoming cosmic movie yet to be announced.

Kristen Stewart is one of Hollywood’s most notable queer stars, and this has to eke her up the queue if Marvel decides to cast Moondragon. Apparently Eternals will have an LGBT+ character, and Valkyrie, Korg or Ayo are canonically queer too. Adding Moondragon into the mix would be interesting though, especially if she’s sharing the screen with Valkyrie.
