Here we go again. Isn’t time for some new casting confirmation regarding the future Avengers film? At least, a rumor no? Well, we are in luck; this is the latest on the Avengers roster. Enjoy…
ComicBookMovie.com has sources close to Marvel who are saying that two roles are close to being filled. Firefly’s Nathan Fillion — who was first rumored to be involved with Marvel back in May — is still the frontrunner to take on the part of Dr. Hank Pym while Eva Longoria will reportedly play Janet Van Dyne.
The source adds that Longoria — who’s been rumored for this part since 2008, when she was spotted outside the Marvel offices with a stack of comics — is a done deal. Fillion, meanwhile, is apparently in final negotiations for a multi-film deal that would start with The Avengers and then cover sequels or spin-offs. With Comic-Con right around the corner, everyone’s expecting official announcements from the show.
So here you have it again. What do you guys think about this? I don’t mind Fillion, but as always, I’m on the fence about Longoria taking any part on this roster. At least she’s eye candy, so for that, I won’t protest. I don’t mind having them added to an already awesome cast. Since they are supporting characters in this one, I’m ok with it.
What do you guys think?
