Ronda Rousey is regarded as one of the biggest badasses on the planet, so it’s not all that surprising the professional fighter/occasional movie star is interested in playing the role of Captain Marvel, one of the Marvel comic universe’s biggest badasses.

Marvel, for their part, have noticed Rousey’s campaigning for the role.

Sarah wrote about what one Marvel exec said about Rousey potentially playing Captain Marvel.

I was once again employed by the Polaris Music Prize this year leading up to and during 2015 Polaris Gala which was won by Buffy Sainte-Marie for her album Power In The Blood.

Buffy’s as deserving as anyone, but the real ace moments on the night were, for me, in order:

3. Host Fred Penner attempting a song medley highlighting all nine previous Polaris winners, including Tagaq and Godspeed You Black Emperor.

2. Alvvays performing a shimmering “Archie, Marry Me.”

1. Jennifer Castle’s epic rendition of “Sparta” backed by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.

Read a recap of the evening here.
