Is the Vikings star sending a message to Marvel? This wouldn’t be the first time Winnick’s name has been linked to a Marvel superheroine. Back in July when it was announced that the bearer of the Thor mantle would be a woman in the comics, Winnick was mentioned repeatedly by fans on social media as being most worthy to portray the Asgardian champion in one of the Marvel films.

“I would love to, are you kidding me?” Winnick toldย Entertainment Tonight Canada regarding the potential casting of a female Thor. “I would absolutely love to play her, so yea, let’s do it!”

It stands to reason Winnick would also be game to take on the lead role in Marvel Studios first superheroine solo film.

Captain Marvel is in pre-production with a July 6, 2018 release date.
