Captain Marvel Movie Cast Update: Sienna Miller Competes Eagerly for the Role

Sienna Miller, the American and British actress and fashion designer who was nominated for the BAFTA Rising Star Award in 2008, is a contender for the role of "Captain Marvel" also known as Shazam - a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, and she is not ashamed to admit that she doesn't have any knowledge about the character.

The powerful heroine becomes noticeable to be one of the most desired roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as yet another actress has acknowledged to wanting to play the character.

While Sienna Miller was talking to the American basic cable and satellite television channel - MTV about her latest movie with Bradley Cooper (American actor and producer who has been nominated for four Academy Awards), the 33-year-old Sienna Miller was asked whether she would like to play the female superhero in a motion picture.

"Captain Marvel? Is that a girl?" Sienna Miller asked, clearly caught by surprise with the question.

After Sienna Miller was enlightened about the heroine, the actress immediately said that she would be up for the character provided it has a "good script." Even though the American Sniper actress did not exactly have any idea who the character is, but the actress still went on to say that she would love to portray the role.

Sienna Miller stated, "I'm not a person who reads a lot of comics and I don't really know that world, particularly well...but I think it would be quite fun -- for my kid as well. She'd like it."

As claimed by the official Marvel database, "Captain Marvel" in the comic books is called Carol Danvers, a five-foot-11 expert pilot, who is master in hand to hand combat and is officially connected with Queen's Vengeance before she came on board to the Avengers.

And Captain Marvel's superpowers include durability, flight, the ability to shoot energy charges from her hands and enhanced strength.
