The mystery surrounding the "Captain Marvel" casting news just keeps on getting deeper as the actress to play Carol Danvers is yet to be named.
Multiple actresses are being linked to the role and Inverse.com made a list of the 12 most plausible female actresses that will fit into the role.
First on the list is Emily Blunt, who was offered the roles for Peggy Carter and Black Widow by Marvel before, which she both turned down. This time, she finally set the records straight that she is not familiar with comic characters and it is simply not her forte.
"No one has approached me as Captain Marvel! I have received not one phone call about Captain Marvel," Blunt told Collider. "I don't know who she is. I'm sorry [laughs]. I don't know comic book characters. They're not my forte."
Meanwhile, another actress who is more inclined to play the role is "Interstellar" actress Jessica Chastain. What makes her a great candidate is her inclination to don the mantle of a superhero as well as take part in action scenes. Moreover, she just doesn't want a leading lady role.
"Absolutely, but for me, in any genre of film that you do - I want to be part of it," Chastain said via IGN. "So if I'm doing a superhero film, I want to wear a costume, I want a fight scene, I don't want to be the girlfriend or the civilian that's taking care of superheroes or whatever. I want to be part of the action. So if they came a-calling that sounds very cool."
