7 Actors Who Should Appear In Upcoming Comic Book Movies

2) Charlize Theron as Carol Danvers (Ms. Marvel)

Fans were ecstatic to hear that Marvel are finally going to release a movie starring a female superhero, but while those hoping for a Black Widow solo outing may have been disappointed, many rejoiced when the title Ms. Marvel was unveiled during the recent announcement.

The Carol Danvers incarnation of Ms. Marvel has become a fan favorite in recent years, attracting positive critical attention for both her solo series and for her numerous appearances as a key member of the Avengers. For the part of Ms. Marvel, the studio needs to cast an actress with considerable presence who can believably convey the raw power of the character, while still retaining her charisma and appeal.

For anyone who watched the modern version of Battlestar Galactica, Katee Sackhoff is the perfect choice to play Danvers, but for the sake of both the film’s financial return and indeed this article, Marvel needs an A-lister such as Charlize Theron to make Ms. Marvel the first successful super-heroine movie. The Oscar-winning actress not only looks the part, but also possesses the necessary screen presence to convince audiences that women can carry comic book movies, too. Just check her out in films such as Prometheus, Monster and Snow White and the Huntsman if you need to be convinced of Theron’s dedication to the roles she chooses.
