This is so exciting! Congrats Lauren!!!! She's also one of the first physically disabled Marvel heroes in general (after Daredevil is blind, but the actor is not)

I don't see any of those MCU movies and don't intend to, but I think that is great news.  Ali Stryker (I hope I spelled her name correctly) is a force of nature in Oklahoma and it's great that people who may not fit the prototype for a role are being cast for characters their talents warrant and can explore.

I’m rooting for Stroker to be Nessa in the Wicked movie!

And apparently Conrad Richia from K&I is being considered for MCU’s first gay character as well!
