The Blonde Phantom, created by Albert “Al” Sulman for Timely Comics (now Marvel Comics), made her debut in September 1946’s All-Select Comics #11. Originally introduced as the secret identity of Louise Grant, a secretary who aided detective Mark Mason, the character quickly gained popularity, prompting Timely to rename the series “Blonde Phantom Comics” just an issue later.

As her solo title continued, the Blonde Phantom’s success led to her appearing in various other Timely Comics titles, including Marvel Mystery Comics, Sub-Mariner Comics, Blackstone the Magician, and the relaunched All-Winners Comics. At her peak, the Blonde Phantom was featured in an astonishing seven different comic book titles simultaneously, a rare feat for a new character at the time.

Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios, has shown a longstanding interest in the Blonde Phantom for over a decade, exploring the role with different actors. The rumors of Taylor Swift’s potential casting align with the studio’s past curiosity about the character, and her previous experience in period pieces like the 2022 film “Amsterdam” could bode well for her portrayal of the 1940s heroine.

While no official release date or streaming platform has been announced for a potential Blonde Phantom project.
