I think it would be easier to find a tall actress who can bulk up over a tall bodybuilder who needs acting lessons.

Raylight, agree completely. I know people love Gina Carano but the girl cannot act, she’s a much better stunt woman than actress.

You know, someday, some entrepreneuring female bodybuilder is going to dive into acting lessons, find she’s a natural at acting too, and she’s going to get all the roles like this for a while, and get steady work being “the muscle chick that does TV and movies for the mainstream audience”.

Raye Hollit seemed to be the go-to gal for that for a while. Small TV roles, some B-movies.

Cory Everson had a good stretch too, with Hercules 3 times, twice on Brisco County Jr, and that one time on Lois and Clark.

I wonder if the acceptance of “buff chicks” is any higher now, and some movie like this will create a character actress that will dominate this niche for a while.

For while in the 80s/90s they were “acceptable” by the self-anointed gatekeepers of the midstream media. They were a novelty, and in general FBBrs were not quite as built up then what you see today.

However, despite the appearances of Hollit or Everson – or others like Teagan Clive in movies/TV, the one that probably got the most attention (back in the day) was the actress Linda Hamilton in T2. Granted, she was not as much built up as leaned down. Nevertheless, without which we wouldn’t have had the buffed up version of Jessica Biel in Blade: Trinity and (still on the noticable built side) in Steath.

I seriously doubt that the Arnold route (BBr to actor) is going to work, but rather someone that is an actress with innate talent and that is also into physical culture that will be the working combination.

But some actress just cant “bulk up” overnight. It takes years to develop a female
bodybuilder’s physique. So I suspect finding an fbb with some acting experience might
be the way to go (particularly if its only a minor role) eg. Raye Hollitt wasnt half bad

You guys might be thinking a little to hard about this subject. If you read the actual Kick-Ass 2 comic series, this isn’t exactly an ‘academy worthy’ role we’re talking about here. Mother Russia has maybe four lines tops and only one of those four would require her to take more than one breath. To be honest this role could be played well by a cardboard cutout, so I don’t think the casting department is going to be going through an extensive casting process for this character. My belief is that they’re going to cast the first person that, a) looks physically dominating, b) can handle intense action films and c) is willing accept a cheaper paycheck due to being a very minor character.
