Marvel Studios Announces Its Captain Marvel

After what seemed like forever, Marvel Studios has finally announced who will be playing Captain Marvel in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That honor goes to Brie Larson, an Academy Award winner. It was made official at the 2016 San Diego Comic Con International.

We knew going into our campaign that it was going to be a long shot for Brittany to get this role. She hasn't been in the public eye since 2010, and to be quite honest, the world of Hollywood isn't ready to embrace women with actual comic-book like physiques to have starring roles in Hollywood. Yet it seems that anyone else is fine to be in leading roles, but that's for a different time to discuss...or a different article altogether. But as we stated on our Twitter, you just DON'T say no to an Oscar-winner when it comes to a role like this, and personally we're glad they didn't do that.

With that being said, we do think Brittany deserves to be in SOMETHING superhero-wise. She has the body and talent to pull if off. She would make a great Power Girl on the CW's Supergirl, for example. DC or Marvel would (to us) benefit with having someone like Brittany in their ranks, especially if a return to WWE is nowhere near the cards for her.
