UFC star Ronda Rousey has been on top of the world the past year, and things might be getting even better.
In addition to her dominance in mixed martial arts, Rousey is branding her image in Hollywood. She had small roles in Entourage, Furious 7 and The Expendables 3, and will star in a remake of Road House and her biopic My Fight/Your Fight.

But is another movie in the works as well? She might have a shot. Rousey has been campaigning (kind of) to be a superhero in a Marvel film. She re-posted fan art via her Instagram account. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige was paying attention.
"I love it," Feige told IGN.
So could Rousey be cast as a superhero? There is work to do before she could meet the challenge as an actor.
"You look at the ways we've cast our films in the past and it's always about who's the best person to inhabit the character, whether that is an actor like Chris Hemsworth who bulks up (to play Thor), or a wrestler like Dave Bautista who played Drax (in Guardians of the Galaxy) who ends up being an amazing performer, an amazing actor and a clever and witty and pointed comedic actor," Feige said.
"For us, it's sitting down with people and starting to meet people and as the script takes shape and as we start to build who the character should be and finding the right person to match it up. We haven't necessarily started sitting down with people yet and meeting on that part."
