Charlize Theron is undeniably an extremely versatile actress, and playing a woman turned superhero would not be a tremendous challenge.

The Washington Post quotes US OK!, which claims that, after befriending Angelina Jolie, Theron is looking to also work side by side with Maleficient star.

And a project like Captain Marvel seems like a great opportunity for both Angelina Jolie and Charlize Theron to team up and craft Marvel's first female superhero led movie.

If Theron is on, Jolie will certainly follow

Angelina Jolie was rumored to be on Marvel's radar for directing Captain Marvel in early February this year.

While no confirmation has come in the meanwhile, the fact Charlize Theron has landed the stage surely simplifies Jolie's decision.

As the source maintains, "If Charlize were to get the part, Angie would almost certainly sign on to work with her new pal".

So, if Theron gets the part, Marvel kills two birds with one stone. Would you like that to happen? To see Angelina Jolie helming Captain Marvel and Charlize Theron as lead lady?
