The RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair is currently on a roll with a dominating title-defending spree. However, The EST of WWE can soon switch lanes to Hollywood as she is eagerly waiting for a call-up from none other than The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Belair thinks she might be a good fit for the debut of one of the most anticipated characters in the hit superhero franchise.

Belair, in an exclusive interview with Comicbook, reflected on her desire to play the role of Storm, which is a superhero appearing in the X-Men franchise in Marvel Comics. Since Marvel has hinted at including X-Men soon in its Cinematic Universe as well, the EST considers herself an appropriate candidate for the role.

While speaking to Comicbook at the launch of WWE Supercard Season 9, Belair said- “Oh, 100%. I would love to cross over onto the movie scene and play Storm and just play such a strong, amazing character, I think that hopefully, Hollywood is ready for a strong, powerful, muscular woman to come on the scene, and if they are, then that’s me, and I’m ready. I’m just waiting on the phone call.” (H/T- Comicbook.com)

Storm is described as a mutant, thus she would have some sort of superhuman abilities that would require a strong on-screen portrayal with mammoth action sequences and athleticism as its basic components. And as history tells us, Bianca has pulled off amazing feats of strength and athleticism during her in-ring career such as marching at ringside with a 300-pound Otis on her shoulders.
