The Duchess of Sussex previously urged women to channel their ‘inner Wonder Woman.
’ And now, she has told her agents to ‘actively search’ for a superhero role.
Meghan Markle has signed a charity voice-over deal with Disney, which also owns Marvel. This could pave way for the Duchess’ role in an action blockbuster film.
Nick Collins, her agent, has been busy fielding offers. A source said: “He has said she wants her return to acting to be part of an ensemble cast in something like a superhero film.
“He’s actively seeking such a movie for her. He’s saying she is available and open to the best offers.
“Meghan is planning a series of meetings in Hollywood. She has already done the voiceover for Disney and now word is out that she’s looking for a superhero film, as a voiceover or even on screen.
“She knows she can’t carry a film as an actress. People won’t be able to get past the fact she’s Meghan Markle. But she’s determined to act again and she thinks a big, ensemble film is the way to go… something that pays big but which doesn’t put her front and centre.
“Pretty much every A-list actress including Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Alba, Margot Robbie, Jennifer Lawrence and Halle Berry have starred in superhero movies. There used to be a certain stigma attached to Marvel films but now they are the biggest market in the world. That’s what Meghan wants.”
Collins of Hollywood’s formidable Gersh Agency represented the duchess during her stint on the legal drama Suits.
She also has a business manager, Andrew Meyer, and a Hollywood PR, Ken Sunshine.
A top Disney executive said to The Mail: “Meghan needs Disney more than Disney needs Meghan. She’s a controversial figure. There have been reports of a deal but that’s not true beyond the voiceover work.”
