Rebecca Ferguson Being Eyed For Ridley Scott's PROMETHEUS Sequel

Fans hoping to see Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation actress Rebecca Ferguson suit up as Captain Marvel or some other superhero might be disappointed, as Deadline has posted a report on the projects she's in the mix for, and there's not a cape in sight...

A recent rumor suggested Rebecca Ferguson was on Marvel's radar for their Captain Marvel flick, but even if that was the case, it doesn't appear to be something she's in the mix for now if the following report from Deadline is anything to go by.

One thing she is in talks for is director Thomas Alfredson's adaptation of best-selling novel, The Snowman, opposite Michael Fassbender - and the site go on to make mention of several other projects she might be lining up after that.

The most interesting to you CBMers will surely be Ridley Scott's sequel to Prometheus (which may or may not stick with the title "Alien: Paradise Lost"), which Deadline reckon Ferguson is being heavily courted for. No "concrete talks" yet, but apparently the latest draft of the script is "very strong with a peach of a major female role" that the actress may well take an interest in.

Ferguson might well play a superhero one day, but it sounds like her card is pretty full for the foreseeable future. More at the link below.

I'm just glad that her career seems to be taking off now. After Rogue Nation, she more than deserves it.

Actresses are allowed to dye their hair. You don't HAVE to fan-cast redheads for every redheaded character, ya know.

Sounds like Rebecca and Pratt will be the leads in every movie ever made now...I'm ok with that...could be worse.

If Winnick isn't being eyed for Carol, then she'd make a perfect Valkyrie.

Kind of stupid to act like she can't play the role because of these other movies, when the Captain Marvel film doesn't come out until 2019. And even if the character is in Infinity War, that wouldn't be filming for at least another year.

Not saying she'll get the role, but she's got plenty of time if she wanted it...

@batz11

Until they eventually star in a movie together that breaks their streak.

While yall keep pitching the same predictable Danvers fancasts, I'm putting in my vote for Monica Rambeau:

Damn monks! LMFAO -- in my youth, I was in 90% similar situations...you know me all too well!

You better ask your ol' lady for something, looks like there's some major back-up happening...

@BlackStar25 As much as a great actress Jessica Chastain is, I just can't see her being the powerful badass that Mera is. Who I do see is the beautiful Rose Leslie!

As a fan of hers in The White Queen, it's like watching your child (not that I particularly want children, but it's a decent metaphor) become successful right before your eyes :'^)

@YeezusWept That is a great choice! She's great in 007 and it would definitely help Marvel recover from the constant criticism that they get for mostly having only white people on their roster. Yeah I know Black Panther is coming and that they have Falcon along with War Machine and Heimdall, but they get barely any screen time compared to the rest and only one has their own film.

Really great actress, so I'm good with this news.

I'm just wondering how many humans should actually be in the Prometheus sequel? Shouldn't it just be a film starring Natalie and David? The perfect way to end the quadrilogy would be to have that scene when Ripley accidentally boards the ship as a child in that big-wheel tricycle in a scene from the director's cut of Aliens. That was Ripley right?
