The latest buzz in the entertainment industry are the rumors about BLACKPINK's Jennie joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Various media outlets have recently shared unconfirmed reports suggesting that BLACKPINK member Jennie will be joining Marvel's upcoming series 'Kingdom War - New Agents of Atlas.' According to the rumors, Jennie was offered to portray the character of Luna Snow, also known as Seol Hee, in this groundbreaking Marvel Studios project.

Then on June 12, YG Entertainment denied the rumor, adding, "There has been no such [role] offer," bringing disappointment to fans.

However, an MCU Arabic News "Insider" shared on Twitter that it was YG Entertainment that rejected Marvel Studios' offer for Jennie. According to this insider, Marvel Studios has been engaging in discussions with YG Entertainment since September 2021 regarding the possibility of casting Jennie in an upcoming MCU project.

The source wrote, "Marvel Studios has been engaging in discussions with YG Entertainment since September 2021. YG Entertainment remained silent on the matter until April 29. Their response hinted at Jennie's packed schedule, stating that she couldn't commit to more than one project at a time due to her demanding workload."

The source also mentioned that Marvel wanted her to appear in the 'Agents of Atlas' series and upcoming 'Avengers' films as well.

Meanwhile, Jennie currently appears on the HBO series 'The Idol' and plays the role of backup dancer Dyanne.

    I dont buy this for a second.

    Zero acting experience and we're supposed to believe Marvel wanted her to appear in multiple projects?

    This 'Arabic news insider' scoop is literally unbelievable. There is no way Jennie or YG would have turned those projects down, if they had been offered🙄
