BURBANK, CA — Marvel has cast Turkish legend Hülya Avşar as “The Pageant Queen,” a dethroned beauty icon whose mystical crown still judges talent with surgical cruelty. President Kevin Feige called her the hero Phase 6 needs: a woman who can host an intergalactic talent show while dismantling the Mad Titan in a winner-take-all tennis match. Working title: Avengers: Cosmic Talent Wars. Her phantom crown rates Asgardian opera, Wakandan beatboxers, and anything Thanos calls choreography. Her origin? A Celestial-judged pageant where she was disqualified on a technicality. The crown chose her anyway. “It’s basically a cosmic lie detector for talent,” said consultant Dr. Erik Selvig. The climax unfolds on a tennis court forged from shattered planets. “Picture Wimbledon meets America’s Got Talent meets the end of everything,” said stunt chief Sam Hargrave. She serves aces while exposing Thanos’s performance-enhancing stones. Test audiences went silent as she backhanded a winner and his interpretive dance. “Your footwork lacks emotional authenticity,” she said, calling his Reality Stone work “derivative at best,” before acing him in the gauntlet. She returns in Disney+’s The Pageant Queen: Talent Court. Every universe gets judged.
