When "Stranger Things" breakout star Shannon Purser tweeted her interest a couple of weeks ago in playing Squirrel Girl, she apparently wasn't joking.

Talking with Revelist about her much-discussed Netflix series, the 19-year-old actress explained why she finds the Marvel Comics heroine so ... unbeatable.

"I think Squirrel Girl is just adorable but at the same time is totally boss and completely awesome," she said. "I think people need a character like that. It's easy in the superhero realm to feel like a lot of the female superheroes we see are grown women who are super responsible and know what their purpose is and that kind of thing. Squirrel Girl is a little bit younger and like a real person, trying to figure out her life and then also having to save the world. I love that."

Of course, Purser isn't the only actress angling that Squirrel Girl role (which doesn't actually exist yet, as far as we know): Anna Kendrick made her play first, and landed an endorsement just last week from her "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" director Edgar Wright.

Its your move, Marvel Studios ...
