Eva Longoria Will NOT Play The Wasp!

Eva Longoria Will NOT Play The Wasp!

The actress reveals that she wont play the Wasp and has never been in the running! In fact, she has no idea who the character is...

In an interview with SuperHeroHype on the set of Desperate Housewives, the actress has put an end to the numerous rumors and so-called "inside sources" who've linked her to the role in the past and set the record straight once and for all. She wont be playing the Wasp in Ant-Man or The Avengers and has never been in the running!

On Whether The Rumors Are True:

"I keep hearing about that. I think it’s an Internet rumor as of now...I love comics stuff. I do, I think it's fun, but I don't know anything about that character. I don't know who or what that is. I know she's small! I've got to talk to somebody about that. I've got to Google her."

On What She Thinks About The Rumor:

"I think it’s a fantastic rumor! We're just going to go with it. Maybe it'll get me hired!"

On Why Exactly She Met With Marvel:

"I had taken a meeting about a different movie at Marvel, and that’s where the rumor started. When I was walking out, paparazzi caught me walking out and they thought I was going in to meet about that."

Well, I'm not sure about you guys but this news is a little disappointing. Not because Longoria was my top choice for the role of Janet Van Dyne (although I think she'd have done a good enough jon) but because this seems like yet another bit of news that makes it less and less likely either this character or Hank Pym will appear in The Avengers! How do you feel about this news? What other role do you think she could have been meeting Marvel about? Have your say in the usual place!

Nice Find Josh.

But it just seems like such a cover-up to me.
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 7/27/2010, 2:39 PM
I dunno guys...this is good news in one respect (because I can think of at least a dozen actresses better suited to this role than Longoria) but bad in the sense that at least the rumour that she'd be playing Wasp meant there was a chance the character would appear in The Avengers! Now we've got nothing! :P

DCMF: Thanks bud! A cover up in what respect?
MikeHawk
MikeHawk - 7/27/2010, 2:39 PM

Could it have been Jessica Drew she was meeting them about??...nahh.....0_0 wait...holy sheeeet guys could it have been a Spider-Woman flick she was meeting Marvel about??!!!!

"Didn't the paparazzi pic show her holding Avengers comics? Maybe I'm remembering incorrectly...but maybe a character who has been involved with the Avengers at some point." @ckal Jessica Drew was/is a NEW Avenger!!

I think we should just accept the fact that Pym or Wasp aren't going to be in the movie... pity. J

UnfriendlySpidey: I hope not! Spider-Woman is supposed to be British! (which is why she should be played by Michelle Ryan IMO!)

Why are we allowing Kaboom to post his articles of bullshit? Seriously... He has been ramping people up all comic con. That makes this site look bad.Also this is good and bad news. Good she wont be the Wasp I really didnt like her in the first place. Bad That means we are back to their not being a wasp in Avengers at this point in time that we know of.

Great find @ Josh! :}

She's lying. I don't know why, but shes backpedaling for some reason. She may not have the part but it was a stack of Avengers comics that she walked out of Marvel with. If she was researching another part she would still know who Wasp is by doing the research.

My guess is that she is doing the same thing Renner did when he spoke too soon, only she isn't the one who let the cat out of the bag. Marvel doesn't want it known yet and she has to deny it.

This rumor has been hotter than Hell for almost a year and she just now thinks she will have to Google Wasp to see who she is.

Everything out of her mouth was crap.

@JoshW Michelle Ryan as Jessica Drew FTW!!!
@Intruder haha just speculating...

I want Giant Man and The Wasp in the damn movie.


It won't be ruined or anything if they aren't but that's just how I think things ought to be

JoshWilding - 7/27/2010, 2:54 PM
Intruder/deadpool72: Thanks! I think it might have been DDD who first suggested her for the role and she is indeed perfect for it! Just look at that picture above...she's the spitting image of Jessica Drew! :P

UnfriendlySpidey: Ah, good call! :) Well, I still hope she's not playing Spider-Woman - Echo and Jessica Jones also featured in that issue I think. I'd be happier if she was up for the role of one of them!

TANKGIRL: Awesome choice. Emily Blunt would make a fantastic Spider-Woman!

Ven0m - 7/27/2010, 2:55 PM
BrazilBats@ dude seriously? Origins didnt fail because of to many introduced. It failed miserablly because they completely [frick]ed up the true origin story line. They had horrible CGI. Questionable acting perfomances and BARAKA POOL! WTF was that shit. It is not reasonable at all to have black widow in and not Hank and Jan. I will be fine with a cameo but seriously they should have more screen time and black widow and nick fury should just be the damn cameo.

ManThing - 7/27/2010, 2:58 PM
@ Ven0m, yeah that's just a few of the issues with that one. There's about four or five more. Major ones.
UnfriendlySpidey
UnfriendlySpidey - 7/27/2010, 2:58 PM
@JoshW agreed on both accounts...I wish we could see what the other 2 comics she's holding are...
@Tankgirl awesome pick for Spider-Woman as well! :D

HAWKS: Hmmm...intesesting theory bud, and thanks! :) I didnt really think of it that way but it would certaintly make sense. Jeremy Renner let it slip by accident in an interview with Empire (that I was lucky enough to spot by accident, lol) and as you said, he made it out to be something less than what it actually was so it would make sense that Longoria's doing the same! Time will tell I suppose!
Ven0m
Ven0m - 7/27/2010, 3:01 PM
@ Juggernaut lol ya I know its just Avengers can be done even with a stellar cast line. Captain America,Thor, Ironman, Hank and Jan, Hawkeye and The Hulk, really its not to many they could totally pull it off. Espically if Loki controlls the Hulk and lets him loose. But to say the # of mutants for that horrible Origins movie just simply wasnt the case.
