Marvel Studios has seemingly gone out of its way to avoid releasing a film with a female lead so far, but the company announced that a Captain Marvel film is definitely on the way, so the streak will finally be broken. But who will play the title superhero? We were supposed to find out at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron, but that decision was nixed in favor of waiting it out some more, and people like Emily Blunt and Ronda Rousey have been speculated about by fans in the days since.
But according to a scoop from Heroic Hollywood, it's Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation breakout star Rebecca Ferguson who's currently at the top of Marvel's shortlist to play the role. They don't know if an offer has been made yet, but the site speculates that the reason Ferguson dropped out of consideration for a smaller role in Gambit (which eventually went to Lea Seydoux) is that she could have been eyeing this part instead.
Ferguson was awesome as Ilsa Faust and easily held her own opposite Tom Cruise in Rogue Nation, and Marvel would be lucky to have her as Captain Marvel if that's something she's interested in. An argument could be made that she might be better off without locking herself into a huge contract with the Disney behemoth, but a quick glimpse of Scarlett Johansson or Mark Ruffalo's filmographies since they've been Avengers leads me to believe that Ferguson would still have time for some interesting side projects should this all work out.
