Reba McEntire wants to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, reveals what her superpower would be
She’s a survivor, after all.
Attention, Kevin Feige: Reba McEntire wants to be in a Marvel movie.
The actress and The Voice host stopped by SiriusXM Hits 1 to chat about her new sitcom Happy’s Place and shared her dream role when queried about it by host Ben Harlum.
“I’d love to do a Marvel comic,” said McEntire. “I wanna be a like, female Reba McEntire Power Ranger or something like that in a Marvel movie.” (Power Rangers, of course, belong to Hasbro, but Marvel has published comic adaptations of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.)
“What would your superpower be?” asked Harlum.
McEntire replied, “My superpower would be able to talk to animals. Wouldn’t that be fun?”
“That would be good,” said Harlum, adding, “We need to get you in the Marvel universe.”
McEntire might not be in the Marvel Cinematic Universe just yet, but she’s expanding the Reba Cinematic Universe with her new NBC sitcom Happy’s Place. The series stages a reunion between McEntire and her former Reba costar Melissa Peterman. McEntire stars as Bobbie, a woman who inherits her late father’s bar alongside a half-sister she never knew she had, while Peterman, who previously starred opposite McEntire as the bubbly and ditzy Barbra Jean in Reba, plays a bartender named Gabby.

Series creator Kevin Abbott, formerly a showrunner and executive producer on Reba, recently revealed that the new sitcom was initially born out of a planned Reba revival. “We worked on a reboot, and we spent about a year on it,” Abbott told TVLine. “We had it fully worked out. I pitched it to all the old cast members, they were all on board. I pitched it to Disney, which owns the rights to Reba, and they were on board.”
This was around the time of Disney’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox, though, “so there was a lot of uncertainty,” said Abbott, noting that the studio ultimately decided against it. But it was then that McEntire proposed doing a brand new show.
The RCU is only continuing to expand, as another Reba reunion is on the horizon. Steve Howey, who played McEntire’s onscreen son-in-law Van Montgomery, will appear in an upcoming episode as a character named Danny, a wealthy business owner that Peterman’s Gabby meets at a dog park.
