Mania.com is quoting a known source who claim that actress Morena Baccarin was spotted recently in a comic book store looking for Avengers comics, specifically ones with The Wasp in them.
Just a rumour at the moment of course, but one that makes sense – Baccarin played Inara Serra in Joss Whedon’s Firefly. It’s not a big stretch to imagine him snagging her for a role in his new film.
The confirmed cast so far includes:
- Robert Downey Jr. – Tony Stark/Iron Man)
- Clark Gregg – Agent Coulson
- Samuel L. Jackson – Nick Fury
- Scarlett Johansson – The Black Widow
- Chris Hemsworth – Thor
- Chris Evans – Captain America
- Mark Ruffalo – Bruce Banner/The Incredible Hulk
- Jeremy Renner – Hawkeye
The Avengers is due for release May 4th 2012.
