Jennie of Blackpink was not offered a role in Marvel’s new series, said label YG Entertainment on Monday.

There have been reports that she was cast as Luna Snow -- or Seol Hee, a K-pop singer and superhero with powers to manipulate ice -- in “Team Agents of Atlas,” a movie adaptation of the comic series.

She branched into acting through HBO drama “The Idol," which received mixed reviews when it started airing this month. She appeared on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival last month as well.

The K-pop star, however, pulled herself out of the group’s concert in Melbourne on Sunday local time, as per doctor’s orders. The quartet is touring Australia as part of its “Born Pink” tour and will visit New Zealand next month.
