Wicked” actress Cynthia Erivo clearly has a thing for playing characters who fly. In an interview at the National Board of Review Awards Gala, Erivo was asked what “dream role” she’s manifesting for her future.

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo have officially confirmed they got paid the same amount for “Wicked.” “We went through our contracts together and called each other up. ‘Did you see that? What do you think about that? Let’s get it together!’” Grande, 31, said in the pair’s interview with Variety published Thursday.

So why does it seem as if she might have been born to play the iconic Wicked Witch of the West in “Wicked,” Jon M. Chu’s musical movie adaptation of author Gregory Maguire’s 1995 “Wizard of Oz” prequel novel and its 2003 Broadway musical?

Cynthia Erivo, fresh off the success of Wicked, has her sights set on joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Tony-winning actress recently expressed interest in playing the iconic X-Men character Storm.

While on the red carpet of the event, where Wicked won Best Film, Erivo didn’t bat an eye over her pick for the next “dream role”. While Erivo is still best known for her work in Broadway and musical theatre, she’s putting it out in the universe that she would love to join the Marvel universe to play Ororo Munroe, a.k.a. Storm.
