Despite Her Love for Marvel Comics, 19-Year-Old Coco Gauff Makes Bizarre Harry Potter Admission as She Vows to Make It Up During Her Wimbledon Stint
Follow Us
It can safely be said that the American tennis sensation Coco Gauff has had a love-hate relationship with Wimbledon in her career so far. After bursting onto the scene by defeating the legendary Venus Williams in the first round of the 2019 championships as a 15-year-old, her time at the hallowed grass courts of SW19 has been underwhelming. So, in order to keep her mind refreshed, with this year’s Wimbledon knocking on the door, the young American has plans of turning to one of her favorite activities away from the tennis court.
Coco Gauff is a bona fide film buff, especially when it comes to Marvel movies. The 19-year-old has shared that she has some unique activities lined up for herself ahead of Wimbledon, including watching a movie. And quite surprisingly, it isn’t one from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Gauff revealed that there is a hugely popular franchise on her movie watchlist which she intends to see before Wimbledon begins, as reported by the Daily Express. “And I wanna see Spiderverse again, it’ll be the third time I saw it… But I don’t know if I’ll do that again, I know I’ll see another movie… I haven’t watched Harry Potter but I know there’s like a little Harry Potter thing so I might try to watch it on the drive over to London, one of the movies maybe, so I can get something and feel the experience of it.”
Although Coco Gauff admitted she hasn’t yet watched the Harry Potter films, her love for the franchise was on full display as she revealed her plans of visiting the Harry Potter studio in London. She will hope that indulging in her favorite activities will serve as the right motivation before she begins her Wimbledon campaign.

Gauff’s love for Marvel remains intact, nonetheless
It is no secret that Coco Gauff is an ardent Marvel fan and is a huge follower of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And despite expressing her newfound love for Harry Potter, she has hinted why Marvel still occupies the maximum space in her heart. During her stay in Paris, while participating in this year’s French Open, Gauff had watched Spiderman: Across The Spider-Verse. As she prepares for her fourth Wimbledon appearance in London, Gauff wished to watch the latest film from the Spiderman franchise once again for the third time.
Hence, it is clear that Coco Gauff can still safely be called a Marvel fan girl. Only time will tell whether the Marvelite will change loyalties and turn into a Potterhead or not!
