Ronda Rousey has defeated every opponent who has been in her way and it appears she's set her eyes on a new challenge, playing the lead in Captain Marvel. The UFC women's bantamweight champion did a Reddit AMA last week and was asked which superhero she'd play if given the opportunity. Her response: "Well … a lot of the good ones have been taken, but I'd like to vie for Miss Marvel."​ As it turns out, Marvel's first female superhero movie, Captain Marvel, is set for release in November 2018. 

Some fans were so anxious for Rousey to land the part that they came up with their own artistic interpretations of Rousey as Miss Marvel. The MMA fighter showed off some of the drawings on Instagram.

Whether Rousey lands the role remains to be seen, but if these pictures are any indication, Miss Marvel will be hotter than ever.
