Bassett joked, “Okay, Keke — we’re here together. You’re finally here; I don’t have to watch you online. I can actually see it right here before me… Don’t be shy. You’re not shy at all.”
Will We See Keke Palmer in Marvel?
ComicBook.com actually asked if her courting of the Rogue role has led to any larger discussion with Marvel Studios. Palmer was in a joking mood, “That’s confidential, sugar. No, I’m kidding. I don’t know. I just know that the fans, the way that the fans have me booked, honey, online, I got to do a gig every week. So if we’re adding Marvel to it, hey, let’s do it. I’m ready for Rogue.”
Fans totally had Palmer’s back when the idea of her playing such an iconic character. Her demeanor on TV and in movies encourages the comparisons. (Note that sugar in the previous statement. Jordan Peele said that she offers so much more than just that southern charm and other stuff fans might bring up.
“Marvel cannot have her. She’s ours. No, you’re allowed to do what you need to do,” Peele smiled. “They’d be lucky to have her. Let me tell you something, just as a Keke endorsement for whoever is trying to work with her. When I looked into working with her, I thought she was Emerald because she’s so fun. I thought that that spark and that charisma, when I met her, it got flipped in my head because her ability to analyze script is one of the best I’ve ever met. I instantly found that out and I told you that when you came back and started talking to me about the script. So you have a very special actor. I feel like a lot of people might think that you’re fun, but it’s a different level. It’s a different level going on here.”
