The director of Almost Famous finds "Serious Things" and "Spectacle" in the Marvel Studios franchise
Here's a respected director who isn't afraid to work with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. During an interview with Rolling Stone while being featured for the launch of his Almost Famous musical, filmmaker Cameron Crowe expressed interest in directing an MCU picture if the appropriate match could be found. Fortunately, he was advised to seek into one X-Men in particular.
"Throw me a Dazzler film!" Let's do it," he said in response to the prospect of taking on the musically influenced Marvel pop singer; they just need to get to know one other first. The character has a history of nearly making it to the big screen, so this would be an ideal match. He stated that he'll be looking forward to getting to know them, wondering, "Who should play Dazzler?" " Fan casts have long suggested musicians such as Rihanna (who just recorded a song for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), Dua Lipa, Taylor Swift, or Beyoncé to play the role of the super sonic heroine who can weaponize sound vibrations into light beams.
When a couple names were suggested to Cameron, he immediately said, "I'm feeling Dua Lipa for this." I'll be like, "Yeah, I've been thinking about Dua for Dazzler, you know, I've been thinking about this for a while," he said to the magazine. And we both agree, "I think it's cool." Making a film like that might be a lot of fun. Character development and all that serious stuff can coexist with spectacle. You've got this. And it's certainly getting there." Someone inform Kevin Feige, and let's have Dazzler featured in She-Hulk or Secret Wars.
Dazzler (Alison Blaire) is a fictional superheroine appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, usually associated with the X-Men. She first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #130 (February 1980).
A mutant with the ability to convert sound vibrations into light and energy beams, Dazzler was developed as a cross-promotional, multi-media creation between Casablanca Records and Marvel Comics until the tie-ins were dropped in 1980. The character was created by a committee of Marvel staff, principally writer/editor Tom DeFalco and illustrator John Romita Jr.
Despite the fact that Dazzler was commissioned as a disco singer, the character shifted to other musical genres, including rock and adult contemporary. She starred in a self-titled series in the early 1980s which lasted forty-two issues, a Marvel Graphic Novel titled Dazzler: The Movie, a four-issue limited series co-starring The Beast titled Beauty and the Beast, and later joined the cast of the X-Men. She was briefly a member of the spin-off group Excalibur but has since re-joined the X-Men. Since her introduction, Dazzler has been labelled as one of Marvel's most notable and powerful female heroes, and has been described as an LGBT icon.
Dazzler made her live-action debut in Dark Phoenix played by Halston Sage.
Dazzler was commissioned by Casablanca Records in 1978 as an animated special to be a multi-media cross-promotion with the character known as "The Disco Queen". Marvel Comics would develop a singing superhero, while Casablanca would produce a singer. Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Jim Shooter wrote a treatment for the animated special, which quickly turned into a live-action feature-length film project that would be produced by Filmworks. Shooter put together a small committee at Marvel to figure out the character's nature, background and personality. Writer Tom DeFalco was the lead writer behind her creation, while artist John Romita Jr. designed her. The character soon changed its name from The Disco Queen to Dazzler, thanks to a suggestion from writer Roger Stern. Due to financial concerns, Casablanca Records left the project, but the film was still in the works.
Romita, Jr. intended for the character to resemble model, actress, and singer Grace Jones, but representatives from Filmworks – wanting to promote model and actress Bo Derek – insisted on design changes to reflect Derek's features. The film project was ultimately canceled after Filmworks refused to let Bo Derek's husband, John Derek, direct the movie.
