This is the Queerty Interview where we bring you conversations with the most exciting LGBTQ+ voices in the entertainment activism and beyond.

Shea Couleé is stepping into superhero status! The RuPaul’s Drag Race winner sits down with Queerty’s Jake Thompson to discuss joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Ironheart, and what it was like filming on set.

Shea reflects on her full-circle journey from theater to drag to the MCU, and shares how her real-life superpowers, authenticity, artistry, and resilience, earned her a seat at Marvel’s table. She also talks about pride anthems (Beyoncé, Kesha, Troye Sivan), her upcoming music, and why Chicago Pride still feels like home.

Plus: would she return to Drag Race? What comic book hero inspired her as a kid? And why she times her lashes to “Summer Renaissance”?
