Marvel boss on Ronda Rousey playing Captain Marvel: ‘I love it’
Ronda Rousey is slowly building a formidable global brand for herself outside of the world of MMA. Could playing a formidable superhero be the next step in her quest for world domination?
A top executive in the comics-inspired, movie-making industry believes anything’s possible.
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said he could back the concept of Rousey playing Captain Marvel, a movement initiated by the UFC women’s bantamweight champion herself last month when she shared on Instagram fan art of herself depicted as the superhero.
“I love it,” Fiege told IGN during a promotional event. “That happens occasionally, and I think that’s a testament more to the strength of the characters.”
