More From Emily Blunt On Speculation That She Will Play CAPTAIN MARVEL
Emily Blunt (Edge of Tomorrow) is a fan-favourite choice to play Captain Marvel for Marvel Studios, and somewhere along the line, that fan support became a "rumour". What does the Into The Woods star think of this buzz? Hit the jump to find out...
"It’s funny ‘cause I’m hearing this Captain Marvel thing from a lot of people," Emily Blunt told Collider in a recent interview when asked about the buzz surrounding her and that Marvel Studios role. "I have no official offer, whatsoever. No one’s called. I don’t know where the hell it’s come from, in all honesty. For me, I just think that the part has gotta be awesome. I just want to play great parts, and it’s sometimes hard to find within those big superhero movies. The female parts are not usually great, but recently, they’ve been better. I don’t know. It has to be the right thing."
You have to imagine that Marvel have taken note of this support and the fact that Blunt showed off her action movie chops to great effect earlier this year in Edge of Tomorrow. Of course, it's still early, so it's possible they haven't even begun to think about casting Captain Marvel as of yet (then again, there are those rumours about her making a cameo appearance in Avengers: Age of Ultron...).
