Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women's bantamweight champ Ronda Rousey continues to land film projects as she is ready to star in a biopic based on her own life, even as she braces for UFC matches in the months ahead.
Based on the book "My Fight/Your Fight" that has joined the New York Times Best Sellers Celebrities and Sports categories, Rousey's biopic is being adapted by writer-producer Mark Bomback ("The Wolverine," "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes") for the big screen.
The biopic will highlight Rousey's beginnings, challenges, hurdles, motivations, and rise to the top of her chosen sport. Paramount Pictures executives marveled at the UFC star's adeptness in maintaining her top fighting form while letting her film career take off, Variety reported.
Seasoned image consultants and publicists like Rick Cerrone opined that the mixed martial arts fighter and crossover star needs to play her cards right and choose roles carefully, Fox News reported.
While the judo Olympic medallist also stoked interest for stating that she will love to play Ms. Marvel/Captain Marvel, the possibility of her being typecast in roles that make her use her bare fists, shins and feet as main weaponry is not remote.
Films like "The Expendables 3" and the "Road House" reboot that will commence production in 2016 cast her as an aggressive bouncer. Other films on Rousey's plate are "Mile 22" and "The Athena Project." Marvel Studios bigwigs, big public relations agencies, and fans believe she has a solid future as an action superstar.
In real life, Rousey is ferocious and determined to win. As she expressed in her book, the path to greatness may be long and gruelling, but she learned how to fight and how to triumph, not just in the physical sense but in the mental aspect.
Rousey's growing number of online followers support her endeavors and find her inspiring. As one of them wrote on Instagram, Rousey is "hands down the most intriguing sexy powerful woman on earth!"
