Deepika Padukone wishes to be a part of Marvel Avengers

London : Deepika Padukone has expressed her desire to be a part of Marvel's superhero series Avengers, but the character must be from the Indian origin.

On being asked if she would like to be a part of MCU, Deepika replied, “Yeah, of course. Why not? 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 the cinema, I think it would be very interesting. And I think 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.”
