Mckenna Grace’s MCU Return could reportedly be on the horizon, as a new rumor claims Marvel is considering the actress for a major role in the MCU.
Marvel Studios and Grace have not confirmed the report, making the casting claim unverified for now.
Mckenna Grace’s MCU Return Could Bring a New Character
The reported Mckenna Grace’s MCU Return is particularly notable because Grace already has a connection to Marvel Studios. Marvel scooper @MyTimeToShineH shared the claim on X, writing,
“McKenna Grace is being eyed for a huge role in the MCU. Who do you want her to play?”
The report does not identify the character Grace could portray or the MCU project connected to the rumored role. The actress appeared in Captain Marvel, where she played a young version of Carol Danvers.
Brie Larson portrayed Carol as an adult, while Grace was credited as Young Carol, 13 Years Old. However, the new rumor suggests that Grace could potentially take on a completely different role if she returns to the MCU. No details have been provided about which character she could play.
Grace Previously Played Young Carol Danvers
Grace’s MCU debut came in Captain Marvel, released in 2019. The movie follows Carol Danvers as she discovers her past and eventually becomes one of the MCU’s most powerful heroes.
The film was Marvel Studios’ first feature centered on a female superhero. Its story is primarily set in the 1990s, placing it years before many of the MCU’s major events. Grace appeared as a younger Carol during the character’s childhood, while Larson handled the main role.
Who Could Grace Play in the MCU?
The biggest mystery surrounding the report is the identity of the rumored character. The original claim does not name the role or the project involved. It also provides no indication of whether Grace would appear in an upcoming movie or Disney+ series.
That leaves any specific character speculation unconfirmed. The actress could potentially play another Marvel character if the report proves accurate, but there is currently no reliable information identifying the role.
Grace Has Taken on Major Roles Since Captain Marvel
Since appearing in Captain Marvel, Grace has continued building her career across film and television. Her upcoming projects include Scream 7 and The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping.
Grace plays Maysilee Donner in the new Hunger Games movie, which is based on Suzanne Collins’ 2025 novel. The film follows a young Haymitch Abernathy during the 50th Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell.
These projects give Grace several major roles outside the MCU as her career continues to expand.
Mckenna Grace’s MCU Return Remains Unconfirmed
For now, Mckenna Grace’s MCU Return remains a rumor rather than an official Marvel announcement. The report does not reveal her potential character, the project involved, or when she could appear.
Marvel Studios and Grace have yet to confirm the casting claim. If the report eventually proves accurate, Grace could return to the MCU in a role very different from her previous appearance as young Carol Danvers.
