For those that don't
know, Captain Marvel is the upcoming female-centric entry to the Marvel
Universe and one that's been the subject of huge speculation for quite some
time.
Charlize Theron,
Natalie Dormer, Emily Blunt and a number of actresses have been linked to the
role, however because the film isn't due for release until 2018, it's likely
that there won't be any casting news for quite some time.
The character, whose
real name is Carol Danvers, received superhuman strength, the ability to fly
and lots more when she was caught up in an explosion of an alien artefact. In
the wake of the explosion, she became Ms. Marvel before she adopted Captain
Marvel as her moniker. The character's been around for quite some time, but for
whatever reason, she's been left out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Rousey said that she
wants the role and, to be honest, we can't think of a better fit. It's all a
question of her acting abilities, of course, and whether she wants to continue
with the whole UFC thing. She did have a minor role in Fast & Furious 7 and
she's due to star in a biopic based on her own life. Not only that, Rousey has
serious nerd credentials. She's a huge Pokemon and Dragon Ball Z fan, not to
mention she's posting fan-art that has her in Captain Marvel garb all weekend.
