variety.comMarc Malkin Senior Editor, Culture and Events Penélope Cruz has no plans at the moment to slip into spandex and a cape, but the Oscar winner says she’d love to do a superhero movie. “If it’s something interesting, why not?

Cruz teased that she’s probably going to start filming a musical any day now. “I’m going to do one soon, I think,” she said. “I was very fortunate to do ‘Nine’ with Rob Marshall.
