Megan Fox has hit it big with box-office movies like Transformers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but her next leading role may be a popular anime character: Sailor Moon.
Their have been talks that Sailor Moon, which was created in the 1990s and spawned a series of manga and eventually an extremely popular anime series, may be turning into a live action movie in the near future. Sailor Moon was just revised in celebration of the 20-year anniversary, with a direct adaption of the original series but new styling to keep it fresh and interesting. This revamp has spurred a resurgence of the already-popular series and has led to talks of the live-action film in its future.
Rumors flew when previous talks said that Geena Davis would be starring as Queen Beryl, and now Megan Fox has expressed interest in playing the lead role of Usagi Tsukino, Sailor Moon's civilian alter ego. According to Kpop Starz, Fox revealed that she would be excited to bring the project to the big screen as the lead role, though she expressed some concern about American interest.
“That could feasibly be made into a live-action movie. I don’t know how many Americans were into that. I was into that, but I don’t know how huge it was here,” says Fox.
Though Fox seems skeptical, Sailor Moon has far-reaching capability, with fans of the show on nearly every continent. Many die-hard lovers of Sailor Moon have expressed that they do not believe Fox to be the right choice for the film. But others praise her natural passion for the project and believe it may shine through in her acting.
Whatever the case may be, hopefully, for anime lovers, the rumors of this live-action adaptation become a reality in the near future.
