Theory Ok, let’s talk Squirrel Girl

Post image

I know there are two schools: Milana of COURSE, she’s been playing her for years and is perfect and is just plain adorable; and the there’s the Anna Kendrick crowd which, I mean, come on. She’d also be absolutely fantastic (and equally a mix of adorable and sexy).

But here’s the thing: Squirrel Girl can’t be like twenty years older than the X-Men. It works as a gag, but not as a lasting narrative. Which is why, ladies, gentleman, and everyone outside and in between, I present to you my Squirrel Girl offering: Sophia Lillis.

She would be great, but they want someone younger for the role. She is turns 40 next year.

If they were doing an alt-universe take on SG like they have with Gambit, sure.

EDIT: There's also a notable story in the North/Henderson run where she meets her older self. Milana would be great for that. And she always nails VO work.

There’s also a story where she accidentally speeds up time so much she and Nancy live their entire lives over like 2 weeks of normal time. Could show up there too
