**Los Angeles, CA** – Geraldine Viswanathan, the Newcastle-born actress starring in Marvel’s upcoming *Thunderbolts*, has expressed her desire to see a superhero from her hometown grace the silver screen. In a recent interview, Viswanathan, who plays Mel, assistant to Valentina Allegra de Fontaine in the film, reflected on her “dream” experience working on the Marvel project.
Viswanathan recounted a particularly poignant moment, comparing her *Thunderbolts* premiere to a previous experience attending the *Bridesmaids* premiere years earlier as a fan. This full-circle moment underscored the magnitude of her Marvel journey.
When asked about her ideal superhero, Viswanathan envisioned a mixed-race character with the ability to traverse different worlds, perhaps through shapeshifting or time travel. More importantly, she championed the idea of a Newcastle-based superhero, stating, “I definitely would love to see more superheroes from Newcastle.”
While remaining tight-lipped about potential future roles, she enthusiastically declared her availability for more MCU projects, citing her positive experience on *Thunderbolts*. She playfully named David Harbour as the “biggest menace” on set, due to his humorous antics.
Finally, when asked which *Thunderbolts* character she’d prefer to rule the world (hypothetically), Viswanathan remained loyal to her on-screen boss, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, acknowledging Val’s complex character and ambition while expressing some reservations about her power-hungry nature.
The interview concluded with speculation about Viswanathan’s possible return to the MCU as Songbird, leaving fans eager for more news and fueling online theories.
