While fans are eagerly waiting for the release of Avengers- End Game, Deepika Padukone wishes to see an Indian actor playing one of the superheroes in a Marvel movie.

While speaking at the unveiling of her wax statue at Madame Tussauds, Deepika said that the world is now ready to see an Indian actor play one of the superheroes in Avengers or any Marvel movie. She also said that she is open to take up the challenge as well.

"It would be interesting. I mean I'd say Indian origin. So whether it's Marvel or whether it's Avengers, or you know, any of these iconic characters that we've seen in cinema, I think it would be very interesting. The world is ready for it, to see one of these superheroes, one that originates from India. I believe it will happen soon. I know it will," Hindustan Times quoted Deepika as saying when asked if she would want to join Marvel Cinematic Universe.
