Samus Aran is an ex-soldier of the Galactic Federation who became a galactic bounty hunter, usually fitted with a powered exoskeleton that is equipped with weapons such as directed-energy weapons and missiles. Throughout the series, she executes missions given to her by the Galactic Federation while hunting the antagonistic Space Pirates and their leader Ridley, along with the parasitic energy-draining organisms called Metroids.

Jennifer Lawrence

Ever since her major debut as Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games and Raven / Mystique in X-Men, Lawrence has been catapulted forward as a strong female lead actress who can definitely play Samus Aran.

Scarlett Johansson

This actress was a given.  Not only is she completely hot but she is a great action oriented actress.  Her most standout role is Black Widow of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.  Now imagine Black Widow wearing an exoskeleton suit with advanced weaponry, scouring the galaxy as a bounty hunter.  Sounds like a pretty cool concept right?

Emily Blunt

Emily is a beauty and she can be a complete badass.  Let’s take a look at her in the movie Edge of Tomorrow as Rita Vrataski, a strong, serious, commanding woman that actually maintains her femininity.  That kind of quality would be great for Samus Aran.

Ronda Rousey

I’ll happily add the UFC fighter to this list.  Sure she doesn’t really have a large list of films she’s done aside from her really cool role in The Expendables 3 and Furious 7 and her possible role in the upcoming Ms. Marvel film.  Still, she has a badass presence about her that would definitely help make the character standout.

Thanks for checking out the post.  In the comment section below let me know what other actresses could play the galactic bounty hunter.
