Pennington ISN'T Playing Hawkeye

Pennington ISN'T Playing Hawkeye

Plus a bit of inspiring casting that is going to get us all excited for future Marvel films!!!

Earlier this week, Multi had posted up that Kevin Pennington MIGHT be playing Hawkeye. Not so it turns out!
Here's the scoop:

"Kevin had posted on his Twitter page that, 'It's a three picture deal so hopefully that guarantees i'll be in more than one movie in my lifetime... haha :).' However we noticed today that post seems to have disappeared, but Kevin did post a new clue for his movie role as follows;

'big movie deal does not involve a mask covering my face... take that as you will. gnight :-)'"

Now there are several fan favorite SHIELD agents. Dum Dum Dugan, Jasper Sitwell, Jimmy Woo, etc. etc. But who will Pennington portray? He could still be Hawkeye with no mask if he is a SHIELD agent. Just look at the Ultimates (groan).

But this is not the juiciest bit.

The same "Inside Source" that gave us details about Kevin Pennington's role this past week has just given MarvelousNews a VERY intriguing scoop.

Are you ready to hear it? I hope so. Because this person just informed them that Nathan Fillion is almost locked in as Hank Pym!

Here's what the "Insider" had to say:

"Nathan Fillion is pretty much locked to be Henry Pym, and should be announced before any other new additions to the cast (think around Comic Con)"

Head over to MarvelousNews to read the full article!

So not only will we get an official statement about Pym, but the rest of the Avengers in just two months!!!
If this "Insider" can be trusted of course. None of his information can be disproved as of yet, so I'll leave it up to you on whether or not he is a reliable source.

Fillion will do good if in fact he does get cast as pym. With the information giving in recent articles Pennington might be cast as namor.

I think this i great. I love him in serenity, and think he would make an awsome hank pym. Giant man is one of my favorite avengers he can be 500 feet tall or the size of an ant like that. plus he can talk to ants witch might not seem like that much but think about african marching ant that kill everything in a mile radius. plus the guy hate tony stark and hits his wife and Cap dont like hem either but he's a genus, so there's good character development too, making for a Good story. If done right and marked right it could be a badass movie.

Great news! Yes!

As for Pennington...no way he could be Namor. Not even close to looking like Namor, plus I don't believe Namor would be a SHIELD agent in the movie.

That would be so sexy! I love the Fillion!

@Ranger14 I agree, there's no way Pennington is Namor. I don't think Marvel would place that big of a role in such an unproven actor's hands. I'm not bagging on the kid, I'm just saying it seems unlikely.

He is perfect for Pym, that character is in need of someone with acting chops to deal with all of his personal shit. nathan is the right guy.

HAHA! Okay I don't know much about Pym except for him being married to Wasp and beating her but I love me some Fillion! Excuse me while I play my Dr. Horrible soundtrack. LMAO. I don't know how true this is but if Fillion is involved then it's joygasmic!

Kevin is probably Rick Jones as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. Hopefully they keep his connection to Hulk/Bruce Banner.
