Firestar (New MCU)

Angelica “Angel” Jones / Firestar Portrayed by Tara Strong

Tara Strong, best known for lending her voice to countless icons of animation, steps in front of the camera as the live-action Firestar, giving Angelica Jones a spark of both warmth and fire. With her background as a voice actress, Strong brings an expressive presence that translates surprisingly well to this fiery heroine—balancing the girl-next-door charm with a simmering power waiting to ignite.

This Firestar leans into her comic roots: a young woman who has spent much of her life struggling with her mutation, feeling isolated by the destructive potential of her microwave-based powers. Tara’s version brings a knowing, slightly mischievous energy to Angelica—she’s relatable, she’s vulnerable, but she’s also got a streak of sass that keeps her from being underestimated.
