UFC-stjernen Ronda Rousey vil spille Samus på film

Amerikanske Ronda Rousey (29) har allerede hatt en suksessfull karriere. Før hun gikk over til mixed martial arts og ble UFC-superstjerne vant hun bronsemedalje i Judo under OL i 2004. De siste årene har hun også spilt i flere filmer ved siden av UFC-slåssingen, deriblant The Expendables 3, Fast & Furious 7 og Entourage, og nå drømmer hun om hovedrollen i en Metroid-film.

Det stemmer, da spillsiden Gamespot intervjuet Rousey om håp og drømmer for fremtiden trakk hun frem Samus fra Metroid-serien:

- I've always wanted to be Samus. That would be badass. I love how people found out later that it was a hot chick on the inside. And then most of the day you're in a suit, so you can just hang out and eat donuts and be the star of Metroid. I hope they make a movie out of that, kommenterer Rousey.

I tillegg kunne hun godt tenke seg en rolle i Duncan Jones' kommende Warcraft-film:

- It's funny because they were making a Warcraft movie, I was like "I want to do that!" That's what made me start playing World of Warcraft. And so I got into it backwards like that. It started out as role research for something I knew I would never get--I didn't have time or they were already filming it. It's kinda cool when two worlds connect like when they make a movie based on a book, and you go buy the book because you know if the book is being made into a movie it must be pretty good, avslutter Rousey.
