Ronda Rousey Reveals Interest In Playing CAPTAIN MARVEL
When she's not dominating the UFC with a 12-0 record, Ronda Rousey has spent some time starring in movies like The Expendables 3 and Furious 7. Would she be interested in a comic book movie role? The answer is yes as she's set her sights on Marvel Studios' Captain Marvel...
Ronda Rousey is one of the world's greatest fighters and a pretty good actress to boot. The UFC star has great geek credentials thanks to her love of everything from Pokemon to Game Of Thrones and Dragon Ball Z, and in a recent Reddit AMA, Rousey revealed a desire to take on the role of a certain superhero. "A lot of the good ones have been taken, but I’d like to vie for Miss Marvel!" she revealed, clearly meaning Captain Marvel (bear in mind that she was known as Ms. Marvel for decades before the name change). Rousey's main focus may be on the Octagon, but she's very much an up and coming actress too, so this could happen. She's certainly more than tough enough to effectively portray Carol Danvers! What do you guys think? As always, let us know below...
