Over the weekend, we learned the latest cast member for Marvel's much-anticipated
Captain America: The First Avenger film was
The Mentalist actress Amanda Righetti. And we also found out that she'd be expanding her minor "SHIELD Agent" role in next summer's
The Avengers. What we didn't know, however, was who the recognizable actress would be portraying, and whether or not it'd be from the comics. Well someone, via SHH, is claiming who that may be, offering the following:
Amanda Righetti is in fact playing Sharon Carter. My friend gave me some details and said that at the end of Cap and Righetti/Sharon is there, and Cap mistakes her for Peggy. In The Avengers, Sharon will be there as a way for Steve to vent about Peggy.
Also, I was told that a certain other actress is in fact cast as Carol Danvers. Its pretty exciting! I cant wait for the news to break out.
Just a heads up guys, The Avengers teaser will be posted online in HD either on the 22nd or 23rd.
Also, Hulk is in the teaser. When Thor throws mjolnir at the end its thrown at The Hulk. It just shows the back of his head though.
Besides the obvious info on the trailer, take the "Sharon Carter" bit with a pinch of salt, until verification. But if it happens to be true, what do you think?
