Olivia Munn, the very sexy co-host of G4’s Attack of the Show had a cameo in the upcoming Iron Man 2, but her scene didn’t make it past the editing stage (maybe an extra on the DVD?) and was cut.
But they liked her so much, Favs called her back for another role so she is back in!
Wait, didn’t they start filming like last year or something?
Olivia Munn: Yeah, but as they started to edit they realized it was becoming darker than what they’d expected and what my scenes had allowed for. My parts were lighthearted and comedic.Jon Favreau called and was like, “I’ve got good news and bad news: This is what’s happening in editing but we all really like you.” Marvel and Jon had to add another character from the Marvel universe to keep me included.
I am sure whatever Marvel Universe character she is playing will not be a major player. Olivia Munn is all full of sexy (but someone give that girl a sammich!!) and I find her geeky and witty personality to be a great match for her looks, but I don’t know about her as an actress. I have never seen her act outside of spoof clips she does for AOTS She’s a great TV personality and quick on her feet, but will we want to see a feature film with Olivia as the Scarlet Witch?
My guess is that she will have a minor role as a SHIELD administrative role or something fourth tier fanboy recognizable, but not a big gun.
Who do you think she might play?
