We all know that Captain America, Thor and Iron Man will be teaming up in 2012's The Avengers. But who else will be joining them? So far, characters like Nick Fury, Black Widow and War Machine all look to have some sort of role in the team while rumours have run rampant that heroes such as Ant-Man, Wasp, Hawkeye and even Captain Marvel will also turn up in some way.
However, an article over at ShadowLocked indicates that there will be a surprise addition to the teams roster while the appearence of the S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier may have also been accidentily confirmed!
Ms. Marvel is said to be included in the cast of the new 3D CG animated film which will soon be released at London's Madame Tussauds alongside a host of other Marvel characters including Spider-Man, Iron Man and Hulk. The film’s director, Joshua Wexler, was asked how closely he worked with Marvel Studios and proceeded to let slip the following: "We worked with Marvel and did a lot of work here in London and in LA. We had literally hundreds of people working on the development and the animation of the film solidly for the past six months."
All sounds pretty standard so far right? Well, read on: "Certain things like the S.H.I.E.L.D helicarrier were made more modern than in the comics in order to fit in with designs they are working on for the Avengers movie." And as for whether or not Ms. Marvel will be in The Avengers? The director responded with a rather cryptic answer that seems to hint at the fact that Marvel may be thinking of including her, "Maybe...!"
So, what do you guys think? With Alice Eve and Malin Akerman said to be in the running for the role of an important Marvel character, it looks likely that we will indeed end up seeing Carol Danvers on the big screen in 2012!
