10 Most Believable Rumours About The Marvel Cinematic Universe

10. Rebecca Ferguson Is The Top Choice For Captain Marvel

The potential casting for Captain Marvel has been an understandably hot topic. The actress who gets the part will lead Marvel’s first female-centric superhero film so she's going to have to be a strong performer who can own the role.

Fans have repeatedly thrown out names like Emily Blunt, Charlize Theron and Katheryn Winnick but rumours have suggested that Marvel might have already made their choice, and are just waiting to make things official.

As of last fall the rumour was that Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation standout Rebecca Ferguson was the top pick for the role. Fans ought to be elated with this news as she's coming off of a film where she just absolutely stole the show from Tom Cruise. Moreover, her emotionally-conflicted performance and deft handling of the action scenes makes her an easy choice for the role.

Kevin Feige recently stated that we’d likely get some official casting information for Captain Marvel by the end of the summer, so it may not be that long a wait to see if Ferguson will indeed grab the role.
