Ok, take this with a HUGE pinch of salt. Avengersnews.com isn't exactly seen as the most reliable source of info at the moment.
Anyway, they claim to have a source that says..
We now have received final word that Ms. Eve has signed a deal with the company this past week for an undisclosed character in an undisclosed film (much like a deal signed earlier this year by Kevin Pennington)..both actors are in final negotiations on character choices. The final candidates for both actors are:
Alice Eve: Sharon Carter, Carol Danvers, Enchantress and Shanna.
Kevin Pennington: Daniel Rand (Iron Fist), Rick Jones, Robert Reynolds (Sentry) and Ka-Zar.
As you will see from looking back at some of our older articles, Pennington was cited by Avengersnews to have been basically a sure thing for the role of Captain Marvel in
The Avengers , now there is Sentry, Ka-Zar etc. Who knows.
They go on to say..
It’s likely that we could see them both (as 3 of the 4 characters) first in The Avengers, or in the Savage Land film Marvel is planning. Alice could also be used in Thor 2 as the Enchantress and Kevin could also be used as Daniel Rand in the Iron Fist film. Please do not take the above list as characters Marvel is looking to fill roles for in The Avengers.
Mmmmmm. Eve has not been confirmed by any other source as even being in talks, let alone having signed anything. But thanks to some investigative work by our own Multi, we do know that Pennington has at least some ties to the film. So MAYBE this is all legit. Confirmation/debunkification as soon as we have it.
