Well it may not be that official but tons of sources tell me that Eva Longoria from TV's Desperate Housewives, is set and ready to play Wasp in the upcoming Avengers movie. According to many web sources, she was photographed leaving Marvel Studios with a business card in one hand and a stack of Avengers comics in the other. Since Robert Downey Jr. (Ironman) and Don Cheadle (War Machine) are the only people already cast to be in the movie and I bet Eva is up next.

But my problem with this is that everytime I think of Eva, I get this image in my head of her in Desparate Housewives. I just don't see her as the Wasp, but I bet she is a good actress and can pull this off, just like Jennifer Gardner for Electra and Halle Berry for Catwoman (weither or not they pulled their roles off is still up in the air). Now I would like to know some of your thoughts on the subject.

I think Eva is a decent choice for Wasp. She definitely looks the part (mostly) and she does have decent acting abilities, definitely well enough to pull off Janet Van Dyne (Pym). I think she will work well, and adds tons of eye candy as well.

I'd rather see her as Spider Woman, Jessica Drew.

For Wasp? I say Summer Glau, or Morena Baccarin

Son of a bitch, why do shitty movie stars keep having to ruin our favorite characters by using them as shitty star vehicles instead of doing the character justice? I wish the God Damn studios would just hold polls or something for fans to vote on, that way we'd know they'd be good for the role

Well the problem is that is not all comic fans have the same interpretation of how "their characters" should be interpreted. For instance, I keep hearing Jensen Ackles for Cap, but I can't see someone that young playing Cap. Eva is a decent pick if the movie portrays the bratty, selfish b#### from her origins. But for a more modern version of her character, I'd say there are better picks than her
