Emma Stone has already left her mark on the Marvel universe thanks to her fan favorite portrayal of Gwen Stacy in the Amazing Spider-Man movies earlier this decade, but it’s looking possible that the La La Land star could end up joining the MCU down the road, as well.

Marvel is now casting for Abigail Brand, a character who should become a major figure in the franchise going forward. According to a source the studio is eyeing up Stone or Emma Stone-type actresses for the part. It’s unclear exactly where Brand would show up first in the MCU, but the seeds of her arrival are already being sown.

After all, set photos that arrived online this week have confirmed that S.W.O.R.D. will be introduced in Disney Plus’ WandaVision. The S.H.I.E.L.D. counterpart that specializes in protecting Earth from outer-space threats, S.W.O.R.D. was brought into the comics world back in 2004, as created by future MCU bigwig Joss Whedon. From the beginning, the organization was run by the no-nonsense Abigail Brand, instantly recognizable by her green hair. The character is known to be half-alien, as well, and notably had a romantic relationship with the X-Men’s Beast.
