The Avengers is looking to Cast another Female?

Word on the street is that Marvel isn’t done casting The Avengers, and who they want to add will be another female for an as yet to be named role. Assumption says it will be a core Avenger (because we still don’t know who the big bad is) and that leads most assumptions to The Wasp – rumoured at one point to be played by Eva Longoria.

Ramascreen says:

When the key cast of THE AVENGERS were announced back at Comic-Con ’10, poor Scarlett Johansson was just there by her lone female self, surrounded by Jackson, RDJ, Renner, Evans, Ruffalo, Hemsworth. Scar-Jo is set to play Black Widow. According to Hollywood Reporter, Marvel is looking for another female actress but the role is not yet revealed.

Now of course with a female role being mentioned, the gut reaction is to suggest The Wasp, but also remember that The Scarlet Witch is also a predominate classic Avengers girl too. I would assume Scarlet Witch is not part of the rights deal that Fox has over X-Characters as she is primarily an Avenger despite the fact that she and her brother Quicksilver are Magneto’s children. A detail easily overlooked for the films.

However with each of those two comes man baggage and people are suggesting if they add the Wasp they HAVE to add Ant-Man, and with Scarlet Witch they would HAVE to have The Vision – their respective love interests in the comic series.

I personally don’t see the need for either of them to be brought down with love interests in an ensemble film. If they add either one of these girls there is no reason to insist on their eventual boyfriends to be involved either.

But in the end of the day, it sounds more like Marvel is trying to throw some balance of the double X chromosome into the mix so Scarlett is not the only girl at the party. In that case I vote for The Wasp and let her cross over into Ant-Man’s film where there will be time to develop a love interest if they want.

I don’t have time for love interests in The Avengers.

Antman Cameo in The Avengers?

With the Avengers coming out, we anticipated that it might include some of the supporting Avenger characters in lesser roles to catapult them into their own spinoff solo films to follow up the epic ensemble.

But Antman (still waiting in the hands of Edgar Wright) and the Wasp were not mentioned among their ranks.

Still, a rumour has sprung up suggesting that Whedonite alum Alan Tudyk is going to appear in a cameo in Avengers. The scene will be a stinger apparently building the Ultron android staging his own villain.

In fact another Firefly star Alan Tudyk is not only locked in for a solo film for the character, but will briefly appear in The Avengers as the character’s scientist counter part Hank Pym Along with wife and fellow super hero Janet Van Dyne (both [of] whose transformation into Ant-Man and Wasp will be shown as the after the credits scene in The Avengers).

Interestingly enough it was Ultron who created The Vision, a synthazoid that eventually joins the ranks of The Avengers. So this story could run full circle into The Avengers 2 with Antman, Wasp, Scarlet Witch and Vision involved.

While I thought that Nathan Fillion would have been the perfect blend of vulnerability and confidence to play Ant-Man, but now that I picture it, Tudyk could do that as well. We just see Tudyk playing a lot more of the vulnerable than the confident.

But this is just a blind rumour so I won’t preach it as gospel until we get something more solid on the matter.

The Avengers to Focus on Kree-Skrull War?

After a local newspaper, the Albuquerque Journal reported on The Avengers set to film in the city we are now lead to believe that the Kree-Skrull war will be the central conflict of The Avengers film.

The alien civil war finds its way to earth and the Heroes have no choice but to defend the planet from the conflicting forces set on making Earth its battlefield.

GeekTyrant shares:

Thanks to an Aiint It Cool News reader who picked up this copy of Albuquerque Journal on Christmas Eve saw the story about The Avengers and noticed this line “The Avengers’ script will blend Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America: The First Avenger story lines as the Avengers battle with two alien races, the Skrulls and the Kree.

I could see this as an epic battle worthy of The Avengers as our heroes get caught up in this Alien Civil War.

Most of the character development in The Avengers has been taken care of with the individual films (and a few yet to come out) and the few extra faces will get introduced in the movie itself then on to the big conflict.

But is this revelation just the assumption and error of a local newspaper journalist? Or did he see or hear something while reporting and break this wide open?

There is also a wild rumour that Camp Rock starlet Demi Lovato might be up for a minor role too, but until they name her character I will assume its just rumour

Gwyneth Paltrow will not be in The Avengers

With the culmination of Marvel Films cinematic efforts coming to an epic crossroads with The Avengers, it seemed like EVERYONE they have introduced so far would be involved. But maybe not the supporting cast from the stand alone films.

For instance, Gwyneth Paltrow is convinced that she wont be in Avengers, and her reasoning makes sense. Get The Big Picture says:
Gwyneth Paltrow who plays Pepper Potts in Iron Man confirmed with Collider that she will not be in The Avengers film nor was ever asked to be. Says Paltrow, “No, no Pepper…I think it’s for sure. I think they’re starting shooting soon and they probably would have asked me by now.”

Honestly I see no reason to bring Pepper Potts into the mix for The Avengers. For Iron Man 3? Absolutely.

She is a solid part of the Iron Man atmosphere and while Tony is hard at work being Iron Man he has left the company in Pott’s capable hands.

Why would she be in Avengers? Even just a brief cameo to tie in the Iron Man films to this would appear cheap and unncessary.

I love her character and hope to see something more out of her (she was wasted in Iron Man 2 in my opinion) but with so much already happening in Avengers, do we even need another supporting secondary character?
