Felicia Day joins The Avengers?

The wild rumour of the day is that Joss Whedon’s Doctor Horrible scarlet songstress and former Buffy alum Felicia Day has been cast as Special Agent Abigail Brand in the upcoming Avengers.

Movieweb shares:

Actress Felicia Day has reportedly joined the cast of The Avengers as S.W.O.R.D. agent Abigail Brand. The actress was added to the movie’s IMDB page, although it has not been confirmed by Marvel Studios that the actress has been cast.

If this casting is true, I am not only fascinated and encouraged that Felicia Day is in the role, but more importantly that they may be including the special focus team of SWORD. S.W.O.R.D. is an off-shoot of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the Marvel comic books, which stands for Sentient World Observation and Response Department that specializes in alien invasion intervention.

Involving SWORD adds weight to the idea that this may involve a Kree/Skrull war plotline.

I wonder what Felicia would look like with green hair?

  1. Pretty sure she squashed these rumors on twitter today, but she wasn’t specific, so I can’t be 100% sure.

    Here’s a quote:

    “Wow, I log off for a few hours, crazy rumors flying around. As cool as it would be, they are not true. Love you all!”

  2. guess im in the minority here…im not a fan of hers at all. her web series annoyed me and i think she looks weird, the only thing i think she has is the genuine geek thing i guess.

    meh…but hey, agent brand is a great character and involving s.w.o.r.d. with shield bodes well for more global/space avengers stories. i still think the original whedon/cassady astonishing x-men is a classic

  3. Shes Beast’s girlfriend in the comics too. I think if Brand is in it, and she really is a very badass character, then it’s almost a lock that we see Skrulls in the movie.
