"I've always wanted to be Samus. That would be badass," Rousey told GameSpot when asked what video game-based film she'd like to star in, adding, "I hope they make a movie out of that."With regard to why she'd like to play the space-traveling bounty hunter, Rousey said, "I love how people found out later that it was a hot chick on the inside," jokingly noting that because Samus is nearly always in her suit, she can "just hang out and eat donuts and be the star of Metroid."In addition to being a champion-winning UFC fighter and cover athlete of EA Sports UFC 2 , Rousey will co-star alongside Tina Fey in an upcoming comedy called Do Nothing Bitches. She's also set to star in the upcoming Road House remake and hopes to play Carol Danvers in Captain Marvel This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Metroid franchise.
