Can someone just sound the bell on the casting for “Captain Marvel”?

In a recent Reddit AMA, MMA fighter Ronda Rousey said she’d like to “vie for Miss Marvel” when asked which superhero she would want to play. And those hoping it actually happens don’t need to wait until the movie comes out in 2018 to get a look at Rousey donning her superhero uniform.

After posting the comment, Rousey says she received plenty of “badass” Ms. Marvel/Captain Marvel pictures, and she shared some of her favorites on Instagram:

So could Rousey actually play Captain Marvel in the upcoming film? Other actresses, including Emily Blunt, have already been rumored to be talking with Marvel about the role, but, given Rousey’s track record and popularity, it’d probably be silly to start counting her out.

The UFC bantamweight champion has already showed off her acting chops in a number of movies including “Furious 7” and “Expendables 3.” Also, her knockout of Bethe Correia in 34 seconds makes it seem like she’d be able to beat down bad guys a lot quicker than the extra-long movies Marvel keeps sending out.

Whether she gets the role or not, fanboys and girls should probably just remember to keep the fighter’s own advice in mind:
