Caitlyn Jenner: I Want to Play a Badass B--ch Marvel Villain!
Caitlyn Jenner has accomplished a great deal in her life. In fact, Kylie Jenner credits Cait for her near-billionaire status. But, for Cait, it’s not enough.
She wents to get into acting. Rather, she wants to get back into acting.
Specifically, she wants to play a big, bad supervillainess in a Marvel movie.
Caitlyn Jenner spoke about a number of things in this week’s special Variety issue on transgender Hollywood.
The former Olympian would love to return to acting, this time “in a Marvel movie,” Caitlyn says.
Cait shares her dream: “I want to play the baddest-ass lady you’ve ever seen in your life.”
Well, that role was taken by another Cait — when Cate Blanchett played Hela in Thor: Ragnarok.
“They got the wicked queen,” Cait, who does not get into a specific role that she desires. “Or the wicked lady.”
“Just do the makeup and the outfit,” Caitlyn says. “And I got the deep voice.”
Caitlyn has acted before — before she transitioned, she played a male athlete on Murder, She Wrote.
Additionally, she was effectively playing a character every time that she pretended to be the man that society saw her as for decades.
Caitlyn says that she feared: “Did I build up this character so big that I’m stuck with Bruce for the rest of my life?”
Transitioning takes a tremendous amount of courage. Doing so as a public figure was a major challenge.
“And it scared the hell out of me,” she admits.
Cait recalls that she was considered for the role of Superman before Christopher Reeve was cast.
Cait says: “They call up: ‘Would you be interested in a screen test for “Superman”?’”
At the time, she says, she felt overwhelmed.
“It was just too much for me,” Cait admits. “I would have gone down as the most macho guy in the world, and that’s not me. It’s not even close to being me.”
This feeds her desire to play a female supervillain — to make it to the big screen in a more authentic, empowering role.
“That’s why I want to play that badass b–ch,” Cait says. “I can play that girl.”
Of course, if Caitlyn plays a supervillain, that could be potentially problematic.
Given Cait’s complicated political views — if you’ll recall, her support for Trump lost her almost all of the good will that she had obtained by publicing coming out as transgender — some fans might prefer to see another transgender actress.
After all, Laverne Cox and Candis Cayne are accomplished actresses who are not regarded as traitors within the trans community.
Cait has come around on politics after she realized what everyone else already knew — that Trump was going to oppose LGBT+ rights at every turn to appease his base and spite his enemies.
There is also the issue of casting a trans woman as a villain when so many trans folks, especially those who are younger, would rather see representation among heroes.
That said … which Marvel characters could Cait play?
Aunt May is already taken, and while we don’t yet know the plot of Spider-Man: Far From Home, we kind of imagine that it’s not going to feature Madame Web.
Besides, neither of those are villains. And we’re struggling to think of a female Marvel villain in the right age bracket who would really work for Cait.
That said, since Disney has acquired X-Men (etc) from Fox, reuniting Marvel with its best properties, maybe that creates some new options for a new character in what many fans hope will be Marvel’s run of clean slate X-Men films.
Caitlyn Jenner could portray an outspoken mutant who vocally supports the Mutant Registration Act or even some sort of Sentinel Program, only to come to bitterly regret it — too late.
Or perhaps that would be too on-the-nose?
Of course, if Cait just wanted to play a villain in a superhero film, people might suggest Granny Goodness — though she is a villain from the DC Universe.
But Granny Goodness is a role that we all know in our hearts belongs to Kathy Bates, even though the DC movies so far have either been bad, catastrophically bad, or Wonder Woman
(At least Aquaman looks like it’s going to be really good and strike a wildly different tone from the grimdark, colorless films like Dawn of Justice)
Still, it would be neat if Cait could be cast as a Marvel villain. She might not be perfect, but it would be great to get to see her live this dream.
It would be even better if they also cast a trans woman as a protagonist, to give someone else the opportunity … and to make it clear that what’s villainous about Cait(‘s character) is not that she’s transgender.
Notably, as we mentioned when Ruby Rose was cast as Batwoman, a trans actress has been cast as a trans superhero on the CW’s Supergirl.

Donald Trump: Walk of Fame Star Destroyed By Pickax-Wielding Badass! WATCH!
It’s possible that at several points during this election, you felt compelled to grab your sledgehammer, chainsaw of pickax (we’re assuming your tool shed looks like that of a serial killer’s) and destroy something valuable.
Unfortunately, flatscreens are super expensive and your neighbor is totally anal about his windshield.
Fortunately, you can now live vicariously through the actions of this hardhatted Rage Dude who was recently videotaped going full-Office Space on Donald Trump Hollywood Walk of Fame star:
Like Batman, little is known about the sidewalk assailant’s identity.
According to multiple media outlets, the man has been identified as “Jamie Otis,” but feel free to just think of him as “Hero Mc All of Us.”
Otis says he intended to actually steal the square and auction it off to raise money for the eleven women who have accused Trump of sexual assault.
Probably would’ve been tough to sell the thing on Craigslist without getting arrested, but that turned out to be a non-issue, as Otis was unable to steal the square, so he decided to just improvise and due to the sidewalk what Trump’s been doing to his campaign lately.
The star was dedicated to Trump in 2007 to honor his work on The Apprentice.
At the time, Trump was nearly a decade away from his most memorable work – the Andy Kaufman-esque prank on the American people that he cleverly disguised as a presidential campaign.
We’re still waiting on the punchline for that one, but given Trump’s commitment to the bit, we’re confident it’ll be gold.
Anyway, this isn’t the first time that Trump’s star has been vandalized over the course of this 16-month war on the principles of American democracy.
Back in July, someone built a tiny wall around it in reference to the candidate’s plan to redecorate America in a sort of a post-WWII Berlin motif.
Astonishingly, Trump has yet to tweet about this latest act of destruction.
We’re sure he’s doing some informal research to determine if folks are saying this is the worst thing that’s ever happened on American soil.
He really just needs one folk to say it, so long as they’re standing near a mirror.
Then he’ll probably assure his supporters that, like the conspiracy to make him look like a Cheeto-fingered sexual predator, he will absolutely get to the bottom of this.
He always gets to the bottom of things, folks!
…He just wants to wait until after the election.
Probably not a bad idea, actually.
Something tells us the Donnie will have a lot of time on his hands come November 9.

Robyn Lawley: Check Out My "Badass" Stretch Marks!
Earlier this year, Robyn Lawley became the first plus-size model to pose for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.
The spread put the 25-year old beauty in the spotlight for the first time… and she quickly learned how galling that glare can sometimes be.
Late last week, Lawley shared a photo and message on Instagram in response to a UK gossip column that claimed she had considered an “abortion to avoid stretch marks.”
Beyond appalled at this assertion, Robyn went topless on social media not to bare her breasts; but to bare the results of her pregnancy.
“I earned my stretch marks,” she wrote as a caption.
“They are some badass #tigerstripes. F–k them, who cares, be you, be loud, be proud. And to anyone who feels bad about your body especially after a baby, you are a warrior, you created a little life inside of you, that’s no easy feat.”
Lawley is the latest proud mother to go viral as a result of flaunting her post-pregnancy stomach.
She has walked in New York Fashion Week and appeared in Vogue Italia. She and partner Everest Schmidt are the parents of a girl named Ripley.
And it’s pretty clear Ripley has an awesome role model for a mother, isn’t it?
