She's already agreed to take on the role of female icon Cleopatra, but now Jolie may be sinking her teeth into a 20th century legend, Marilyn Monroe.
Andrew O'Hagan, who wrote The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog says that Jolie is set to play the famous blonde bombshell in the screen version of his novel, reports The Telegraph.
The book follows Marilyn's last two years through the eyes of her pet, Maf (short for "Mafia"), a Maltese terrier which was a gift from Sinatra in 1960.
Scarlett Johansson was previously mentioned for the Monroe role, as was Mad Men's Christina Hendricks.
George Clooney is apparently playing Frank Sinatra in the film.
Do YOU think Angelina would make a good Marilyn?
