UFC champion Ronda Rousey is in negotiations to join the cast of "Fast & Furious 7," Universal Pictures has confirmed to TheWrap.
Rousey, who will soon begin filming "The Expendables 3," is nearing a deal for a minor supporting role that will showcase her fighting skills. Should the deal close, Rousey would represent the first new addition to the blockbuster franchise.
James Wan is directing "Fast & Furious 7," which will star Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson, as well as plenty of other familiar faces who will return for the latest sequel.
Neal Moritz is producing through his Original Film banner. Chris Morgan wrote the script. Production is scheduled to start this fall in Atlanta, though "Fast & Furious 7" will be set in Los Angeles, where the first movie took place.
Justin Lin's "Fast & Furious 6" grossed more than $740 million worldwide, making another installment in the series a top priority for Universal.
Rousey is the latest UFC fighter to make the jump to the bigscreen, following in Gina Carano's trailblazing footsteps. Carano's performance in Steven Soderbergh's "Haywire" led to her casting in "Fast & Furious 6."
Rousey plans to stay in fighting shape while shooting "Expendables 3" and "Fast & Furious 7" back-to-back before her Dec. 28 UFC championship rematch with Mischa Tate. She's repped by WME.

    Rampage, Randy Couture, and Gina(Strikeforce) are the only three-- I believe-- who've had the opportunity to play in "big" movies

    lol not what I meant, I meant her acting chops. which is kinda funny considering this is Fast and Furious we're talking about. Maybe it's just cause I feel like her character was dead weight, besides the whole double agent part. I felt the blonde chick was better as the rock's partner in Fast 5 than Gina was.

    For as loquacious and charismatic as Rampage seems he really is a dogshit actor.

    Gina is ok but she's really just pretty.

    Rhonda really looks like a dude when she aint all dolled up. She will probably be an awful actress.

    letty won that little subway station brawl. if your going to put a world class fighter in then the least you could do is have them win fights.
