Clark Gregg, the soft spoken but persistent Agent Coulson for the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division in Iron Man will be reprising his role in Iron Man 2. As well a new face will be added to the cast but no one seems to know who she is playing.
Kate Mara will be joining the cast, and it seems almost deliberate that her role is kept secret, which only makes us speculate that it is important.
Mara’s character identity is being kept under wraps (for now). Gweneth Paltrow is back as Pepper Pots and Scarlett Johansson is playing the Black Widow, so where does Mara fit into this picture? The fact that her identity is being kept secret is very curious. Anyone have any ideas?
The ulterior motive to these summer tentpole action flicks has always been to introduce little hints that lead up to the Avengers film, so I can only make wild guesses as to who Kate Mara might play.
She is a pretty girl, and could easily fit the role of the Scarlet Witch, though with Fox still owning the X-Men rights I doubt it would be revealed that she is daughter of Magneto. But of all the Avengers that she could be, that’s the only one I can think she suits.
There is also the Wasp, but I would think a spunkier firecracker of a personality for her. Not the feeling I get from Mara.
So that’s my guess. Wanda Maximoff. Scarlet Witch.
What do you think??
