Speculation is abundant that Priyanka Chopra may be preparing for another prominent role in Hollywood, this time as a legendary supervillain. Recent reports

\n\n\n

indicate that Disney+ is working on its own adaptation of the Power Rangers series, and the creative team at the global streaming service has allegedly considered Chopra for the part of Rita Repulsa, the franchise's iconic antagonist. Should this come to fruition, Priyanka could be eyeing her next significant project following SS Rajamouli's Varanasi.

Priyanka Chopra as Rita Repulsa

\n
\nWhile official casting announcements for the Disney+ series are still closely guarded, a source linked to the Power Rangers universe has ignited enthusiasm among fans. According to The DisInsider, “Rita Repulsa is the villain and the studio has Chopra on their radar.” Although this information has yet to be verified independently, the excitement alone suggests that our Desi Girl is making waves in Hollywood.\n
\nIf the casting comes to pass, it would represent another daring step in Chopra’s global career. The actress has consistently embraced unconventional or morally ambiguous roles. She previously took on a villainous character in Baywatch (2017), where her chilling portrayal of Victoria Leeds was a highlight amidst the film’s sunlit scenes. Her ease with darker characters makes her an intriguing candidate to embody Rita Repulsa, a figure recognized for her dramatic menace and commanding presence on screen. $\"PeeCee$ \n\n
\nThe new Power Rangers series is being developed by Jonathan E. Steinberg and Dan Shotz, the creative minds behind Disney+’s successful fantasy series Percy Jackson and the Olympians. This duo will take on roles as writers, producers, and showrunners, raising hopes for a more character-focused and refined reimagining of the beloved franchise. With Disney+ supporting the initiative, the series is anticipated to delve into world-building while reinterpreting familiar characters for a contemporary audience.\n

Priyanka Chopra's The Bluff images go viral

\n
\nIn the meantime, Chopra is already breaking new ground with her upcoming action-adventure film The Bluff. The actress ventures into uncharted territory by portraying a fierce pirate in a gritty, R-rated storyline set in the late 1800s. Directed by Frank Ewen Flowers Jr and featuring Karl Urban, the film promises a raw and unfiltered depiction of piracy, far from the romanticized high-seas escapades. $\"Priyanka$ \n
\nAs per a recent report from Esquire, The Bluff is set to premiere on Prime Video starting February 25. Chopra recently posted blood-soaked images from the film, igniting a flurry of online discussions that commend her willingness to take on intense, physically challenging roles. If she steps into the role of a Disney villain next, it will only further showcase her versatility.\n
