One way or another, it seems like Beyoncé is headed to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Word around the web says Queen Bey and Disney agreed to a three-film $100-million deal.

Nevertheless, that doesn’t mean Bey shouldn’t be part of the MCU. Given the right role in the right movie Beyoncé has shown she’s a solid actress, poving critics wrong and putting on some memorable performances.
Her most notable role to date came in Dreamgirls. The of role Deena James put her on the map as a serious actress after roles in Austin Powers in Goldmember, Fighting Temptations and Pink Panther. She didn’t stop there, anyone whose seen Cadillac Records knows she nailed the role of Etta James. Not only did James herself praise Beyoncé, but there were whispers of a potential Oscar nomination.
