Even if you want to argue that Rock and Hemsworth are mediocre to bad actors, Rousey is even a level below that. She's not an actress at all. She has zero skill in that department.

We already have Carol
Lock this in Marvel. Emily Blunt is the next female action star.

One of the best? Not even close imo, he kinda plays himself as Iron Man and did the same shit as Sherlock Holmes. But before this gets out of hand (judging by the RDJ defence force in here): point being was that you don't have to be a good actor to play a superhero. Often the less talented (with some exceptions like Ruffalo) actors play those parts which is just fine.

ill give you that he played himself as tony stark, cant agree with the defense force though

A few things:

-You don't have to be a decent actor to play a hero in a cbm. Just look at RDJ, Chris Hemsworth or that guy who played QS in AoU (man was he bad). So her not being a good actor shouldn't even be an issue. If she auditions and does a good job: give it to her. Jai Courtney still gets roles and he seems to be doing a good job in Suicide Squad.

-We got Gal Gadot as WW, she can't act for shit either but killed it during her audition (so I read). So yeah. Same thing could happen.

That being said, I've never seen her in anything so yeah...

You're crazy. All of those actors sans Gadot have pretty good repertoire and some like RDJ and Hemsworth are actually good in comedic roles. Can't say the same about Rhousey.

Get's called out, doubles down on the stupid. You ever seen Chaplin? Tropic Thunder?

Yeah she could be really fun in a superhero movie. Agreed a role on the level of Batista would be fun. She could certainly deliver on the action.

MCU has used a UFC fighter already, GSP in Winter Soldier

That fight choreography was off the chain in WS.

Ronda is a horrifically bad actress. Even calling her an actress in F7 feels insulting to actual actresses.

Comparing her to people like Gadot is ridiculous. She makes them look like the best to have ever done it.
 
After Furious 7, the only thing Rhonda should be doing is super small cameos. She can play the bad terminator in the Genisys sequel if they have to give her a role in a movie.. Her acting is so stiff it might make her seem like a good actor.

Nah she was fine as Pepper. I was going to say Hugo Weaving, only because he didn't want to do anymore. Well Portman isn't a universally bad actress, she clearly didn't give a shit

he had the feel down though. its a shame he didnt want to go through with it again, but its nothing to recast him

I'll give Paltrow a bit of a pass because Marvel got one good movie out of her, but Portman was a disaster in both Thor films.

if they want a terrible actress they might as well get the one who is a bit famous. so Ronda it is.
Sackhoff is in orders of magnitude a better actress than Ronda. Ronda sounded like she was trying desperately to remember the three lines she had in Fast Seven.

Oh geeks...smh

there are plenty of actual actresses that can do the job, there's no need this.

seriously, people see blond hair and muscles and start screaming.
 
The guy that thought Jason Mewes and Jeff Anderson were good enough for his movies thinks Ronda Rousey is good enough for Marvel. Okay.

Ronda Rousey has enough problems being herself, much less pretending to be someone else.

Joey Lauren Adams is better casting.

I can't see Disney wanting to associate with a Sandy Hook conspiracy theorist in such a major way. It doesn't fit.

All their super heroes they cast as leads in films represent Marvel and Disney well as role models in real life. She can't work in that role at all with her bizarre attacks on children and families.
