Ronda Rousey made it known that she's interested in playing Captain Marvel during a Reddit AMA and her fans have poured in to support her by sending her fan art, her favorites of which were posted to her Instagram account.
She's not the first celebrity to petition themselves to be cast in a role and this kind of enthusiasm sits well with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. He said this happens occasionally and it's a testament to the strength of the character more than anything as they appeal to a range of talented individuals, adding he loves what Rousey is doing.
Reflecting on his early days with Marvel, Feige recounted the various ways people had campaigned to become Wolverine. This was before the days of the internet and there were no social networking sites to get anything to go viral. Instead, they had magazines at the time, Wizard Magazine specifically.
