Morena Baccarin on Joss Whedon Directing The Avengers

Brazilian-born actress Morena Baccarin, currently starring on "V", is talking in an interview with movieline about working with Joss Whedon... and about a possible Avengers role.

Movieline:Let’s talk about Joss Whedon. Marvel chose him to write and direct the mega-budget comic book mash-up Avengers, which has caused a few people to raise their eyebrows. Having worked with him on Firefly and his first and only feature Serenity, why do you think Joss is a good choice for what could potentially be the “biggest blockbuster of all time?”

Morena: I am sure he will be awesome at it. We had a ton of that stuff on Serenity and he has this great quality about him. Joss really knows what he wants and he has a really clear image of what he thinks something should look and what the film should be. I am sure he will be really well prepared, and I am sure they are in really, really good hands.

Movieline: Have you talked to Joss recently? Do you think there could be an Avengers role for you?

Morena: I don’t know. I haven’t talked to him in a little bit. We email each other back and forth. I would do anything that he did though — really truly anything. He’s so talented.

She's not ugly. Kinda got big ol' eyes, but that might lend her to a bug themed character, right?

Tankgirl: Maybe YOU should play Wasp!

Physically, she fits the part. I'm still on the fence about Whedon directing the movie. If he relies to much on his trademark humor, the whole movie could go south and the only character that works for is Iron Man.

Tankgirl: Like the photo mashup, but I doubt there's any way in hell I'd watch the movie if Quiksilver and Scarlett Witch were in it. I like the characters, but how would you explain there presence to an audience that knows they're a nod to Xmen?

Okay, not thinking she's appropriate for Wasp. I disagree, but we're all entitled to our opinions.

But thinking Morena Baccarin isn't very attractive???!!!
You know how I know you're gay?(or a straight woman)

TANKGIRL's right ASHLEY's a better ROGUE oh and shes wayyyyyyyyyyyy to young to play WASP in the movie line up!

I like me some Morena in whatever she does. She can act and is one of those rare beauties that can pass as latin, white, asian, east indian and even black. And you cant ignore those legs of hers!....

@Multi: Baker is an excellent casting choice for Pym. He Has that "genius on the edge of insanity look" to him.

Morena Baccarin would make a good wasp, i like her on V and think she is a good actress, like the idea of whedon making the avengers, serenity was ok imo but i didnt like it as much as most ppl, i loved the buffy series though and was sad to see it end(same with angel). not sure he has enough experience directing movies, has plenty exp directing and producing tv series but not much on big budget films, he should prob write the script and leave the directing to someone else maybe, will still see avengers regardless.

Nathan Fillion as Ant-Man/Giant Man I would love but I dont want The Avengers to turn into a reunion for the stars of all of Joss Whedon's cancelled TV shows! ;)

LEE: Nah, Ultimate Wasp is Asian which is why the brilliant Naoko Mori is why is perfect for that role!

No TV actors!! Plus Edgar Wright should be doing the Ant-Man casting not Wheeeeeeeeedumb!!! >:P

@Ryden - I'm not prejudice against TV actors (um, Bruce Willis, Denzel Washington, and a ton of other brilliant film actors started as regulars on TV shows) but you are 100% correct that Edgar Wright should get first pick.

Well, she's beautiful, but the wasp MUST TO BE HOT. There's a difference.

I don't find her attractive. Plus, she was boring and flat on Firefly IMO. No to her in Avengers.

Morena looks like Wasp to me. It is obvious beauty is in the eyes of the beholder as I think she is extremely attractive. To each their own.

I am so tired of people bagging television actors like they aren't good enough for films, not to mention that Morena and Nathan Fillion have had big screen experience. There are so many big screen actors that do television and vice-versa. Timothy Hutton, Keifer Sutherland, Mary McDonnell, Alec Baldwin, Martin Sheen, Mandy Pantinkin, Holly Hunter, Sally Field, Danny Glover, Danny Devito, Glenn Close, Will Smith, Kurt Russell, Robin Williams, Bill Murray, Adam Sandler, Jim Carey, Ernest Borgnine, Jenfier Aniston, Jackie Earle Haley....the list can go on. Many of those on the list got their start doing television.

i dont know if its just me, but i feel worried for The Avengers film. Its a huge movie and they decide to get this guy. Id feel safer if they get the people who made the incredible hulk or iron man. Or i would like for all of them to pitch ideas, offer some input and help each other to make this an EPIC FILM.

Congrats TG@!

They finally left one of your articles on main.

Great article! I'm with Leee@, Nathan and Morena
for Hank & Jan Pym!
I sure hope Whedon picks them! They fit together
as husband and wife!

And Ranger@ I agree! TV actors are not second-rate
actors and should not be treated as such!

And I'm not worried about Whedon as the director
cuz he is extremely talented like Morena says! He's
very good at ensembles!

Yeah, I could see Nathan & Morena as Hank & Jan. They worked well together on Firefly. :) I'd be a huge fan!
