After a successful stint in Star Wars on The Mandalorian, Mercedes Varnado, aka Sasha Banks, is being targeted for a Marvel role in one of Sony’s Spider-Man spin-off films.
Sasha Banks portrayed Koska Reeves in The Mandalorian Seasons 2 and 3, serving as a loyal ally to Bo-Katan Kryze. The WWE diva’s transition to acting has earned high praise from fans and critics, leaving many to wonder if there will be more in the future.
Interestingly, Varnado’s co-WWE diva, Becky Lynch, almost appeared in Marvel Studios’ Eternals, but her role was reportedly cut for being “too depressing.”
