The Marvel Cinematic Universe may be expanding yet again with a fresh new hero stepping into the spotlight. Reports suggest that Marvel Studios is eyeing a White Tiger film, potentially bringing the fan-favorite street-level vigilante to live action.
Multiple sources indicate that Wednesday and Scream star Jenna Ortega is being considered for the lead role of Ava Ayala, the latest hero to take on the White Tiger mantle. Ortega’s rising stardom and her ability to balance action and emotion make her a strong candidate to portray the young Latina superhero.
White Tiger, known for her enhanced agility, strength, and mystical amulet, has deep roots in Marvel Comics, with Ava Ayala following in the footsteps of her late brother Hector. The character’s street-level crime-fighting approach would fit perfectly into Marvel’s evolving urban hero lineup.
