‘Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation’ actress Rebecca Ferguson is apparently at the top of Marvel’s list for the upcoming ‘Captain Marvel’.

According to Heroic Hollywood, the 31-year-old Swedish actress is wanted for the role of Carol Danvers – aka Captain Marvel… but will she be convinced to join the MCU?

“Got a hot tip that Rebecca Ferguson, who is UBERHOT at the moment coming off Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation is at the top of Marvel’s list to play Captain Marvel,” they explain. “Now at press time I’m not sure if talks have taken place or if an offer has been made.”

Rebecca Ferguson is perhaps best known for her recent appearance alongside Tom Cruise in ‘Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation’. But she’s also appeared in minor roles on UK television including a brief appearance in the hit show, ‘Wallander’.

But will she take the plunge into superhero stardom?

“Last month she took herself out of the running to be the female lead in Gambit,” they explain. “Instead, she chose to play Anna in the Tate Taylor directed adaptation of Paula Hawkins novel The Girl On The Train with Emily Blunt… Could she be considering the bigger fish instead over at the MCU?”

Of course, the ‘Gambit’ role eventually went to another contender, Léa Seydoux… but is that because Rebecca Ferguson pulled out in order to head over to Marvel?

After Ferguson’s appearance in ‘Mission Impossible’ there’s no doubt that she’s hot property right now. And as an up-and-coming star, she’s exactly the kind of actress that Marvel might be keen to add to the MCU.

But is she ready to lead her own superhero movie? And could it be Marvel’s first female-led film?

For now, we’ll have to wait and see… but judging by her recent performance, she’s more than up to the task.

‘Captain Marvel’ heads to cinemas on 2 November 2018.
