Since the announcement of a Captain Marvel movie back in October, there’s been several actresses put forward by fans to play Carol Danvers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – not least British actress Emily Blunt, who appears to be a favourite of many for the role. Now the Edge of Tomorrow and Into the Woods star has addressed the speculation in an interview with Collider:
“It’s funny ‘cause I’m hearing this Captain Marvel thing from a lot of people. I have no official offer, whatsoever. No one’s called. I don’t know where the hell it’s come from, in all honesty. For me, I just think that the part has gotta be awesome. I just want to play great parts, and it’s sometimes hard to find within those big superhero movies. The female parts are not usually great, but recently, they’ve been better. I don’t know. It has to be the right thing.”
Would you like to see Emily Blunt in Captain Marvel, and if not, who should take on the role?
