"Everyone knows that she's one of the only people that could play a superhero that could actually beat the #$*^ out of somebody," Smith revealed on TMZ, as Comic Book noted.
It is not just her fans and Kevin Smith who believed that Rousey is ideal for the role as Cinema Blend also stated that it might be possible.
When it comes to acting skills, the source cited that it is not just because someone fits in the costume is already worth it. For example, they mentioned Ryan Reynolds in the Green Lantern costume and Ben Affleck as Daredevil, which they mentioned were allegedly failed to be a hit.
