Earlier this week, AvengersNews.com expanded on a rumor regarding the casting on 90210 actor Kevin Pennington for future Marvel Studios films: "We’ve been receiving hints from a source that Kevin Pennington is being primed to play Captain Marvel for upcoming Marvel films."

Today, I was contacted by Pennington's manager, Missy Patrick, at Solace Management regarding the constantly circulating rumors about her client. She stated that Pennington has not been signed by Marvel Studios to portray the character titled 'Captain Marvel,' but that we should hear confirmation of his role soon. She went on to say,

"We are excited that a lot of comic fans are eager to hear about Kevin's role in future comic book films. He does have a lot of readings coming up for other comic book films and studio requests so we are happy the genre is taking a strong interest in him."


MPP - Many thanks to Ms. Patrick at Solace Management for taking the time to reach out to us at ComicBookMovie in an effort to put this rumor to rest. We look forward to hearing more about your clients, including Kevin Pennington, Chris Evans, Devon Aoki, Matt Bomer and Daniel Henney, in the future.

On a side note, CBM Editor Bryan Kritz received the following message from Solace Management via Twitter today: You guys will all find out Kevin's role in the "big" film soon... I promise. We will even confirm it once it happens."

I guessed Rick Jones before all of this Captain Marvel talk. As cool as it would've been to see CM on the big screen, I'm glad I didn't have to eat my words (yet). :)

@HelaGood

He could be the Ultimate's version of Hawkeye. Who didn't wear a mask (if I remember correctly). I read Volume 1 and 2 of Ultimates 2 yesterday.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hope we hear who he is going to play SOON

I bet it's gonna be like what happened with Olivia Munn. Everyone said she was gonna play Wasp or some such but she was barely in IM2.

CLAY QUARTERMAIN!!!!





He just recently died by the Hands of Red Hulk. The way it seems though is that he might be Red Hulk! All the more reason to cast a no body as a no body who will become somewhat of a some body!!!

GUYS! INSIDE SOURCES ARE EXCLUSIVELY REPORTING INFORMATION THAT 90210 Actor Kevin Pennington has signed on to play the part of Nick Fury's eye patch!

reps for the actor put out this statement "Kevin is very excited to be a part of Marvel's upcoming slate of films. Kevin has signed on the same nine picture deal that Sam Jackson signed but with two of those movies already released Kevin is hoping his character takes off enough with audiences to warrant a spin-off."

After the test screening Pennington posted this on his twitter: "Sitting on Sam Jackson's face is like sitting on a cloud wrapped in baby skin. cant wait!;P"

Look for official confirmation from marvel in the coming weeks

ThaMessenger07- Hulk has enough trouble being on the big screen in our day and age for them to EVER consider putting up Red Hulk. It would be an instant fail and not to mention the pinacle of lameness. Hulk will have a minor role in Avengers and Marvel has yet to green light a sequel to TIH. Let's let them concentrate on accomplishing that feat first.

Tea- Good one ol' chap!!! LMAO Beware his upcoming tweets!!! "I wanna be Pennington, i wanna i wanna i wanna!!!" :P

@ Stubbyswof 2 seconds of Clay Quartermain lol

@ Shaman or maybe he will play Abercrombie model #4 in a fight scene that takes place in a mall! But! secretly that Abercrombie model is Clay Quartermain doing an investigation on how the entire section of the mall that any abercrombie is located in smells like there damn cologne. After exsesive exposure to there perfume and awful music with the combination of direct contact with the Hulk.....BOOM! He Turns To Flaming Hot Red Hulk who comes equiped with already torn Abercrombie slim fit jeans!

i hated the idea that they would make Captain Marvel a SHIELD agent. when Marvel Studios starts throwing random characters into their movies, and putting them in stupid places they shouldnt be, thats when they'll start to fail miserably like Fox. Captain Marvel as a SHIELD agent? please...
