As she departed the RuPaul’s
Drag Race runway, Shea Couleé revealed
to me exclusively that she had some “really cool things down
the pipeline” and the project that she was speaking about is
truly, “super”. Deadline reported late this week that the Chicago
queen is joining the Marvel galaxy. Shea will be appearing in the upcoming
Disney + series Ironheart in a yet undisclosed role. The series
stars Dominique Thorne as Marvel character Riri Williams, who
while also a genius inventor, is also is the creator of the most advanced suit
of armor since Iron Man himself. Thorne’s character is poised premiere in Black
Panther: Wakanda Forever as a supporting character, performing
spinning off into her own series.
Shea’s obvious
exuberance over the new Marvel role was evident, as she said on Instagram “Stepping
into the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been like stepping into OZ. ‘Ironheart’
is top to bottom going to be an absolutely STUNNING experience for the viewers,
and I’m so humbled everyday that I get to work on set with some of the best and
most dedicated artists in the industry”.
Whether
on-screen as the beloved Candy Ferocity in Pose or behind the
scenes as the CEO of TransTech Social Enterprises, everything Angelica
Ross seems to do breaks fresh new ground for both her and those that
come after her. Now, following in the footsteps of Gwen Verdon, Christie
Brinkley, and Pamela Anderson, Ross is about to hit the
Great White Way in a legendary role. Playbill announced that Ross is about to step into the
role (and the pumps) of Roxie Hart in Chicago, starting September 12th at the
Ambassador Theatre (running through November 6th). This announcement makes Ross
the first trans performer to headline the legendary Kander & Ebb/Bob
Fosse musical production and Ross spoke about her casting on
Instagram, saying in part “Can’t wait to meet the whole cast and
create magic with them! See you all on #Broadway soon”!!!
