Best known for playing 'Rita Morgan' in
Dexter, Julie Benz is no stranger to the superhero genre after roles in
No Ordinary Family and
Punisher: War Zone. The actress worked with Joss Whedon on both
Buffy the Vampire Slayer and
Angel, and so it should come as no surprise that she was quizzed on her possible involvement with his planned sequel to
Marvel's The Avengers at a fan Q&A at the Fan Expo Canada. When asked if she has heard anything about a possible role in the highly anticipated follow-up (specifically 'The Wasp'), she had this to say.
"No, I haven’t, but I like that rumor. Can we start it? Everybody get your phones out and tweet it, tweet it to Joss Whedon! I don’t even know who Wasp is. Let’s make this happen, people! Let’s see the power of Twitter! I know Joss is on there, I would love that. I would work with [Joss] if he called and read the phone book in his living room."
