Actor, director, writer and three time Tony Award nominee Kevin Chamberlin (Jessie) is campaigning for a role in anything from Marvel Studios in his latest viral TikTok video, “I Wanna Be In A Marvel Movie.”
What’s Happening:
- Kevin Chamberlin made headlines last year as Chef Gusteau in Ratatouille: The TikTok Musical and now he’s doing it again with his latest viral song, “I Wanna Be In A Marvel Movie.”
- Trying to catch the attention of Kevin Feige, Chamberlain sings about the MCU as he is transported to locations Marvel fans will recognize, gaining some pretty cool abilities in the process.
- In addition to his work in films like Die Hard with a Vengeance and on TV, Kevin Chamberlin is a veteran theater actor with recent roles including The Wizard in Wicked.
- He started his TikTok account when Broadway theaters closed last year and has since gained over 5 million followers.
- The song in this video was written by Kevin Chamberlin, similar to how he wrote “Anyone Can Cook” for the “Ratatousical.”
What He’s Saying:
- Kevin Chamberlin: “I have been a fan of comic book movies ever since the first Superman films with Christopher Reeve. I was inspired to write the song after watching Wandavision on Disney+. Usually, I write the lyrics first when I’m composing a musical theater song, and I thought it would be fun to write a classic musical theater ‘I Want’ song about my passion for the Marvel Cinematic Universe and all of the wonderful character actor roles, small and large.”
