Sackhoff To Play Ms Marvel?

A bit of Twitter banter just might mean the meeting of two of the greatest geek things of all time.

Battlestar Galactica actress Katee Sackhoff has said she'd be up for taking on the role of Ms Marvel in The Avengers 2.

And who wouldn't want to see that?

In response to a tweet calling for her to play the part in Joss Whedon's superhero sequel, Sackhoff said: "Hell yes!", retweeting the post to her followers.

But whether Joss Whedon, who was included in the conversation, was paying attention remains to be seen.

Of course, there's always the possibility that the actress could take on the title role in Marvel's proposed movie about the character, which could mark the comic giant's first female-led superhero movie.

The Avengers 2 hits cinemas on May 1, 2015.
