As you may already know, both myself and many others have been campaigning for actress Yvonne Strahovski to be cast as Carol Danvers/Ms. Marvel for quite a while, and unbelievably it seems like our collective wishes might just be coming true! Strahotski, one of the top fan sites for the Chuck star, have apparently been sent a scoop revealing that she's going to be cast in the role by Marvel Studios! Check out an excerpt from their report, and be sure to head on over to the site by following the link at the bottom of the page.
Though it’s not often that we get the scoop on anything here, I’ve just received information from a protected source inside Marvel that points to Yvonne Strahovski being cast in the upcoming Avengers movie as Ms. Marvel.
Could it be true?
I, for one, have long hoped to see Yvonne crop up in a comic book movie. She’s got the action chops to easily pull it off and it was really just a matter of time before the right character came along.
As with any anonymous tip-off like this, it's worth taking it with a pinch of salt for the time being, and as someone who went as far as writing an editorial about why she'd be a good choice for the role, I'm going to hold off on celebrating just yet! However, I'm sure the site must have been convinced enough if they decided to actually post the scoop, so be sure to stay tuned for more updates as we hear them!
The Avengers is set to be released on May 4, 2012!
Many thanks to Simon for the quick heads up on this info which was posted just a few minutes ago!
