With Marvel's
Thor already in post production, the studio is gearing up to begin filming their next superhero movie
Captain America: The First Avenger sometime in June. Their following film,
The Avengers, which will assemble heroes from their past five projects, will begin production in early 2011.
AvengersNews.com is now reporting that Marvel Studios is looking at several popular actresses for one of these films. Malin Akerman (
Watchmen), Alice Eve (
She's Out of My League) and Rachel Nichols (
G.I.Joe) are supposedly already in talks with the studio to star in a future production. According to their source the studio,
"... only wants one of the three and Malin Akerman and Alice Eve were said to be the front runners for the elusive Marvel picture deal."
Alice Eve was one of the final contenders for the role of Peggy Carter; but for undisclosed reasons that role went to actress Hayley Atwell. AvengersNews.com speculates that the mysterious role could be either S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Sharon Carter or the super heroine Janet Van Dyne/the Wasp. With script rewrites currently underway for both
Captain America and
The Avengers films, pinpointing the rumored character is anyone's guess at this point.
