However, before she made her way into the MCU, the Oscar-winning actress wasn’t actually a fan of the franchise which she admitted in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter. She ended up becoming a fan herself after watching the films thanks to a recommendation from her adopted family. “I was ignorant, I didn’t know those [Marvel] movies well enough until a family who I consider, like, my adopted family had me watch them. They’re crazy Marvel fans, and I always used to make fun of them. Like, ‘Oh my God, you guys are such f*cking nerds.’,” she said.
“Then one spring break we rented a house and our kids were in a camp and they were like, ‘You need to fcking sit down and watch.’ So, we watched all the movies, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, they’re so fcking good.’ And the kids got in on it, too, and it was such an enjoyable ride.” The actress continued by expressing the challenge she is feeling about playing Clea, “And there’s a mythology around it and it’s been thought out over decades with Clea, and I’m challenged by that. Like, how do you reinvent that? So, I’m excited, but I honestly don’t know what the fuck it’s going to be.” So far, Marvel Studios has not stated their plans for Theron’s next appearance in the MCU as Clea. Since she was prominently highlighted in the mid-credits scene, she will definitely be a pivotal figure moving forward whether it’s in the next Doctor Strange film or another major MCU project. Let’s just wait and see how it will all unfold.
