Ufc fighter Ronda Rousey has transitioned from the ring (or the cage, or the Octagon, or whatever they call it) to the big screen with small roles in movies like The Expendables 3, Furious 7, and Entourage. She has a few more movie projects lined up, including a comedy with Tina Fey, a remake of Road House, an action movie with Mark Wahlberg, and a biopic about her own life, but there's another role she has her eye on: Samus Aran in a film adaptation of the classic video game Metroid.
Never mind that no such movie is actually in development right now. In an interview with GameSpot, that's who Rousey mentioned as the character she'd want to play in a video game movie:
I've always wanted to be Samus. That would be badass. I love how people found out later that it was a hot chick on the inside.
