Big Bertha (New MCU)

Ashley Crawford / Big Bertha Portrayed by Adriana Lima

Adriana Lima takes on one of Marvel’s most unconventional heroines, Big Bertha—a supermodel whose mutant gift allows her to shift from statuesque beauty into a powerhouse of raw size and strength. In this version, Ashley Crawford is a world-renowned fashion icon who hides her heroic alter ego beneath the glamour and spotlights, balancing the expectations of the runway with the duty of saving lives.

Lima’s casting gives Big Bertha both elegance and gravitas. She embodies the contrast at the heart of the character: a woman equally defined by grace and grit, able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with gods when transformed, yet always grounded in her humanity. Rather than a joke, this Bertha is reimagined as a layered, aspirational figure who celebrates strength in every form.
