Ronda Rousey is a name which is becoming popular in the list of chosen actresses for the role of Carol Danvers in the upcoming movie ''Captain Marvel.''

Rousey rose to stardom with her athlete's career in UFC. Her background in martial arts makes her a popular choice for the role of the female superhero. Her title in UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship too had attracted the makers to think about her name seriously for the role of Carol Danvers. At the Summer Olympics in Beijing in 2008, she won an Olympic medal in judo (Bronze).

CNN has a video uploaded when she took down Brazilian Bethe Correia at the Ultimate Fighting Championship's Women's Bantamweight Title Fight. ''Ronda Rousey, arguably the best mixed martial arts fighter, enjoyed a year in the spotlight that was interrupted when she was shockingly knocked out in a fight in November'' reported Cosmopolitan by making her one of the most popular people of 2015.

As per the UFC rankings, Rousey is number 2 in the Women's Bantamweight category. Business Insider listed her in the list of 50 most dominant atheletes alive. ''No athlete is the best in their sport by a wider margin than Rousey. Her two wins in the past year have lasted an average of 15 seconds. The UFC made her its first female fighter ever. In her five UFC fights, only one opponent has made it out of the first round without getting knocked out of submission. She's not just undefeated; she's effectively untouched'' is what the article said about her.

''I felt that I was the greatest female fighter'' is what Rousey told to Sports Illustrated. They did an article entitled ''Ronda Rousey is the world's most dominant athlete.'' ''In fact, forget for a moment about the mix of power, speed, technique and poise Rousey brings to bear when she competes. Her real gift might be managing her time and, in turn, her fame. The tattoo on the inside of her right foot reads EVERY SECOND, and she applies it to more than her fighting'' mentioned the article about the punctuality and commitment of the athelete.

Sienna Miller, Charlize Theron, Maika Monroe, Katee Sackhoff, Olivia Wilde, Katheryn Winnick, Bryce Dallas Howard, Rebecca Ferguson, Brie Larson, Jessica Chastain and Emily Blunt too have been considered for this coveted role. The fight is becoming intense with each passing day.

Rousey acted in movies like ''The Expendables 3,'' '' Furious 7'' and ''Entourage.'' This makes her the perfect choice for the role of Carol Danvers as she knows how to mix her power as an athlete and acting skills. ''Ronda Rousey will show championship form in Expendables 3! So will multi hampion Victor Ortiz!'' Sylvester Stallone had tweeted in 2013. Maininsider.net had reported about this transformation of the athelete way back in 2013.

''Just a few weeks ago, Sylvester Stallone tweeted that UFC bantamweight women's champion Ronda Rousey would be in his new "Expendables" movie'' reported Foxnews. "I said from the beginning that I work in quadrennials," Rousey told MMAjunkie.com. "I do four-year cycles. I think I've got two years left in me, realistically, if I'm going to do this like an Olympic run."

So will Rousey bag this coveted role finally? What do you think?
