In recent times Ms. Marvel has really become a major player in the Marvel Universe and it seems her popularity just keeps growing. Who knows, we may eventually see a movie of her now that Marvel produces it’s own movies.
Rebecca Romijn has just joined the cast of Ugly Betty and it really made me think that she would be great to play Carol Danvers/Ms. Marvel.

Ms. Marvel has been around since the late 1960’s and was designed as the female version of Captain Marvel. Carol Danvers was a CIA agent and the love interest of Captain Marvel. After exposure to an alien device known as the psyche-magnitron, she was endowed with super strength, durability, flight, and precognitive sense similar to Spider-Man’s “Spidey-sense.”
Over the decades, Carol Danvers’ powers and hero name has changed a few times and would be too complicated to address in a 90 minute movie. As would her relationship with Captain Marvel.

If you would like to read more about her history I recommend Uncannyxmen.net or even Wikipedia.

For a visual, here is a clip of Ms. Marvel from the 90’s X-Men animated series.

Rebecca Romijn has plenty of experience working in a “Marvel movie.” She played Joan in the Punisher and Mystique in the X-Men films. She’s cute she’s blond she can act and she can lead a movie. What else do we need?
