After retaining her UFC Women’s Bantamweight Championship against Bethe Correia by knockout in 34 seconds last month, “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey shared that she wanted to throw her name into the mix to play Carol Danvers in the upcoming Marvel Studios film ‘Captain Marvel’. The mixed martial artist and Olympic medalist has dabbled in acting recently by appearing in ‘The Expendables 3’, ‘Furious 7’, and ‘Entourage’, but it seems like she has her sights set on the Marvel Cinematic Universe next. Well, it looks like an opportunity to play the part is on the table; however, it’s not coming from Kevin Feige or anyone at the House of Ideas.
According to TMZ Sports, Rousey has been offered a deal to star in ‘Captain Marvel XXX: An Axel Braun Parody’. Pornography producer Braun, who is responsible for other adult film parodies featuring Spider-Man, Captain America, She-Hulk, and the Avengers, has laid out a lucrative deal for the fighter that involves a payday of $5 million for two weeks of shooting that involves three sex scenes and “more dialogue than the average porno”. The offer also includes a plea for forgiveness in case Rousey is offended by the request. After all, Braun definitely doesn’t want to be the 10th person to fall victim to the 4th degree black belt’s patented armbar submission.
This isn’t the first time that Axel Braun has approached a high-profile civilian to appear in one of his movies. The pornographic filmmaker also extended a similar deal to Ben Affleck’s former nanny Christine Ouzounian to take up the mantle of Batwoman for the sequel to ‘Batman v Superman XXX’ following her fifteen minutes of fame. But Braun has certainly become more ambitious if he’s looking to score the #4 pound-for-pound best fighter in the UFC for one of his movies.
But at the end of the day, Braun knows that he won’t get Rousey to star in his Marvel porn parody. This whole thing is clearly a publicity stunt designed to create buzz around his next project. Luckily, she is likely too busy developing her biopic at Paramount Pictures, appearing as the face of Carl’s Jr., and watching World Wrestling Entertainment or Dragonball Z (in between training, of course) to even acknowledge the offer, much less turn it down publicly.
What do you think of Axel Braun’s bold offer to Ronda Rousey? Do you hope that the UFC Champion will be offered the role of Carol Danvers for real? Let us know in the comments.
