Malaysian actress Raja Ilya probably won't be too familiar to many people outside of her home Country, but that may be about to change in 2018.

While speaking to Star2 to promote her latest movie, Soulmate Hingga Jannah, Ilya let slip that she'll be appearing in an upcoming Marvel Studios project. Though she didn't provide many details, Ilya said she'd be flying to Hollywood in "about six months" after first undergoing extensive martial arts traing with none other than The Raid and Star Wars: The Force Awakens actor Yayan Ruhian.

Though this is just a guess, the time-frame definitely points to the movie being Captain Marvel, as that will most likely be commencing production towards the end of the year or very early in 2018. Whatever the project turns out to be, Ilya probably won't have a substantial role in it - however, the fact that she's training so hard does suggest that her character will be involved in a few action scenes at the very least.

What do you guys make of this? Do you think the film is Captain Marvel? Sound off below.

@BillCipher999 - Nooo Katheryn Winnick should be Moonstone, since she can not be Capt Marvel. Ilya could be a goog Spiderwoman. #WinnickForMoonstone

If it is, that movie will be a festival of cuteness, huh?

More likely Ant Man and the Wasp surely?
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 2/18/2017, 5:14 AM
@Crugsy - That's set to begin shooting in June.
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 2/18/2017, 5:15 AM
@Crugsy - ...not that she couldn't be coming on board late, but just based on what she says I'd say it's more likely CM.

@RorMachine - I feel like it's not Captain Marvel since they don't even have a director yet. Marvel usually wants the directors to have a say. The exceptions being Spidey, Panther, and Cap Marvel since they will appear in movies prior to their solos. Most likely Ant&Wasp. Michael Douglass doesn't start until July, so if she has a small role it makes sense she'd be there in August. Not to turn this into an Essay but Principle shooting usually takes 4-6 months and unless you're the star you don't need to be there until you're scheduled in

@RorMachine - I have to disagree. It's only February, Ror. "In about six months" is August, not the end of the year.

Ant-Man starts in July, so I'm thinking she'll either be a part of that one, or coming in mid-shoot for one the Avengers films.

As far as Captain Marvel goes, Marvel Studios have got 4 films shooting in 2017, somes of which are already sharing cast members. It already sounds like a logistical nightmare without adding a fifth film into the mix.

Or the second half of the Avengers shoot, for Part 2 (not really Part 2 anymore). A member of the Black Order or a Dark Reign type thing or honestly who knows what.

Something to do with Namor?

Dorma perhaps?

Also, where'da Marvel Snipers at? I'm pretty sure they'll bring her plane down with an SAM if they have to.

If it's Captain Marvel, i say Kree #2.

Guys...I think I'm in love with Raja Ilya.

I'm so sorry Ruthless. I know you have been after me for a while now. All those messages you send to my inbox speaking of love will go unanswered.

Raja is the one for me.
