We're going to read a lot about "who is playing Captain Marvel" so brace yourselves!
'Game of Thrones' and 'The
Hunger Games' actress Natalie Dormer has addressed speculation (albeit
indirectly) that she may be a contender for the title role in 'Captain
Marvel.'
The 32-year old actress from
Reading already has a Marvel movie on her CV, following a small role in
‘Captain America: the First Avenger’ - but this hasn’t kept her name
from cropping up frequently on fan-casting lists for the role of USAF
officer turned cosmic superheroine Carol Danvers.
Dormer’s roles in ‘Game of
Thrones’ and ‘The Hunger Games’ films have seen her gain an enthusiastic
fan following, leaving many to suggest she’s overdue a prominent
leading role in a Marvel or DC movie.
Asked about this by Collider, Dormer’s response was diplomatic - and, cannily, did not mention any specific roles.
"I’m
not going to comment about potential jobs in the future because that’s a
rabbit hole to go down and get caught up in, but all I’ll say is I’ll
go where the good scripts are. For me, ‘Catching Fire,’ ‘Game of Thrones,’ all my other work, I’ll just go where the good scripts are.
"I love being part of huge
mega blockbusters and I love being a part of small independent films
and small stage. I’m just looking at the material. I want to know the
character and I want to know the text, and then the decision I make from
there."
Still,
should Dormer find herself in contention for any future blockbusters,
she certainly wouldn’t be the first ‘Game of Thrones’ star to do so,
with Lena Heady (‘300’) and Kit Harington (‘Pompeii’) having enjoyed big
screen success. Richard Madden and Emilia Clarke are set to do likewise
in ‘Cinderella’ and ‘Terminator: Genisys’ respectively.
On
the superhero movie front, ‘Game of Thrones’ alumni Jason Momoa is
lined to play DC’s ‘Aquaman,’ whilst 2013’s ‘Thor: the Dark World’ was
directed by frequent ‘Game of Thrones’ director Alan Taylor.
