Olivia Munn on Iron Man 2 & Potential Avengers Role

G4 host, Olivia Munn, got the chance to make an appearance in the hit Iron Man 2 Movie as a character with a notable role in the Marvel Universe. She now speaks with On The Red Carpet on the subject.

With On The Red Carpet’s Rachel Smith:

“I play Chess Roberts. She’s just one of the Marvel Characters,” she told On The Red Carpet’s Rachel Smith. “I’m a reporter in it. That’s it. And on the DVD I am a girl that’s dating Robert in a movie.”

“I think it would be very hard to parlay what I did in Iron Man, which is very small, into something bigger in the other ones. But it is a Marvel character,” she said without ruling out taking part on the set of a future Marvel film.

“I think I’ll do catering on The Avengers. I think now I’ll do catering for them, gladly. They love Fiji water, room temperature. Make sure you know that,” she said. “I am a geek, to the core. So anything on the movie… If they wanted me to do craft service, I would do craft service and be like, ecstatic.”




I could definitely see her having cameo appearances in future Marvel films as a reporter, especially in The Avengers. What do you think?

I like that your name starts with DC. ;P

Very neat-o!

@Phinehas ha ha, only reason why is because "MarvelDCFreshman" looks odd...to me. But Marvel is always first in my book, and don't you forget it. LOL.

She literally was in the film for 10 seconds. At the most.

She was a complete waste of 10 seconds, so why would/should they waste more by putting her in the Avengers?

This little girl didn't need 10 seconds...


This 19 year old ex-cheerleader (now an Air Force Security Forces Sniper) was watching a road that led to a NATO military base when she observed a man digging by the road. She engaged the target (ie, she shot him). It turned out he was a bomb maker for the Taliban, and he was burying an IED that was to be detonated when a US patrol walked by 30 minutes later. It would have certainly killed and wounded several soldiers.

The interesting fact of this story is the shot was measured at 725 yards. She shot him as he was bent over burying the bomb. The shot went through his butt and into the bomb which detonated; he was blown to pieces. The Air Force made a motivational poster of her.

(Folks , that's a shot 25 yards longer than seven football fields!)

I was disappointed at Olivia Munn's overhyped role. She's still hot and I'd still do her but it was just nothing of note.

Hmmm...I dont mind giving her a little more screen time as the same reporter in future Marvel movies but nothing else thanks! :P

No, just no. Like Tyler said, she's a waste of space and pretty much a waste of a human being.

2cents... Your right. I like her and she did fine for a quick piece. I do think they should have just had her as herself and interviewing for G4... Same role. Give them some press as they always give superhero movies press.

I barely notices her until her part was nearly done, of course it does not help that i am blind as a damn bat. :P
So anyways, I just saw Iron Man 2 and thought the movie was too short and there was not enough SLJ in the movie. I would have loved to see a near nudie scene of Olivia and RDJ like the first one, but he is ogling Pepper pots the whole movie.
Speaking of Pepper Pots, I just enjoyed hearing Tony and her argue through out the movie, and Rodies reaction to them at the end.

I liked the movie alot, I though olivia could of had a better role, and think she has possible potential but you never know to you give people more chances and experience to grow.

Less than 10 seconds in than IM2 and now the Avengers?!?!?!?
Seriously??

"If they wanted me to do craft service, I would do craft service and be like, ecstatic."

Love,

I still dont understand this obsession people have with her, calling her hot is a stretch if you ask me. Her role was hyped up like crazy and it was only 10secs at best. Totally forgetable and no need to drag this out and add to her ego
MistressKizuna
MistressKizuna - 5/9/2010, 9:31 PM
She only appeared for 10 measley seconds in a role that any extra could've played. Honestly, she should just stick with being a TV talk show personality.
fanboiii
fanboiii - 5/9/2010, 9:43 PM
It's such an insignificant role, but it's nice she's more than happy with it. I couldn't care either way unless she miraculously managed to screw up what little she had to do.
Osiris
Osiris - 5/9/2010, 10:16 PM
she is going to have a bigger role on the dvd, they were doing re-shoots of her scenes while the were finishing up editing and didn't get it done on time, so there for it is going on the DVD so there will be more Munn in IM2
peterparker420
peterparker420 - 5/9/2010, 10:56 PM
LOL! really...She was only a reporter in the film..That is not a waste of space, I'm glad it's HER and not some no name I could care less about..When she was on screen I thought..AWESOME THERE SHE IS!!..Also the MOVIE was GREAT..there we SO MANY nods to the AVENGERS and THOR..also the CAP shield..and the MAP toward the end of the movie pointed out KEY locations of the WOLRD..

Umm I guess I'm gonna be in the minority here and ask, why they hell are so many people hating on this chick? She was in it for 5 to 10 seconds. She didn't exactly screw it up, considering how there was nothing to screw. So what's the big deal? Yeah I get it, she's annoying, but since when does any person's actual personality make a difference in their acting ability, and yes I say acting cause we honestly don't even know if she can or can't act. She keeps getting 5 second bit cameo roles so there's absolutely no way to gauge her acting ability if she does actually have some. So again, why is every getting bent outta shape over her. Hey if she has less charisma than a garden gnome, but winds up acting like the most seductive woman on the planet, yeah I'd be good with that. Just my personal opinion. Try not to be so harsh if/when you criticize said opinion.

(P.S. To anyone who'd about to say she has no acting ability because she's only get 5 second bit roles, take into consideration the fact that she isn't actually aiming for lead roles.)

Actually Reilly she has had some more then 5-10 second scenes she was in a horror movie called Insanitarium and a couple episodes of Greek, I think she has been in some other stuff too, you could IMDB her but I know those parts were decently long.
nuketheunicorns
nuketheunicorns - 5/10/2010, 12:44 AM
who gives a damn? she was in the movie for all of four seconds. I was really disappointed at all of the websites building up "OLIVIA MUNN IN IRON MAN II!" for months when she wound up being totally passable. if I sneezed I probably would have missed her part, and I definitely would not have cared.
ReillyParker
ReillyParker - 5/10/2010, 1:05 AM
@Osiris: I stand corrected, will go watch those and gauge some sorta response. I'll watch Greek, not the horror flick. I gave up on horror flicks of this day and age a long time ago. BTW I'm diggin the avatar. One of the best secret endings out there.

@magic8: right... It's her fault we all jumped to conclusions. How dare she make us think thoughts about her. Who does she think she is? If you haven't gotten it by now this is sarcasm. I know it's hard to tell on the interweb

What I meant was may be people think that “She doesn't look like” the 616 version of Wasp but she DOES look like the Ultimates version, either way it wouldn't matter if she looks either one, she's got a got look and she's a fangirl. As long as she does a good job,I'm with it. Nitro Muscle Mass

so many people wanted her to play someone important, and thats just ridiculous. i didn't want her to, because i had never seen her in anything. well this weekend i watched The Slammin' Salmon, and she's in that.

...TERRIBLE ACTRESS!!!!! just terrible. shame on anyone for wanting her to be an important character :)
ReillyParker
ReillyParker - 5/10/2010, 5:57 AM
Ok, well at least now people have a reason to say f*ck off, so I'll retract may statement. I didn't know if she was a good actress or not.

theartofoneness - 5/10/2010, 7:33 AM
I havent seen it yet but the only thing that has me nervous, and has since it was announced, is scarlette johanson. Her whole role looked very cheese and she isnt much of an actor. Just a pretty face. Im hoping she fits.

I am going to see it today! I find it interesting that people enjoy bashing Olivia for what the article covers. She was asked about her role. Sheesh. What should have she said. "Oh, I am sorry. I am just a bit part and don't care if I am in any of the other films." She even admits it is a small part and doesn't see how it could work into something bigger in the future.

I am curious to see the role SLJ has with some of the negativity being thrown his way. Of course, it is expected to be so when it comes to Lee. ;-) Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Marvel say SLJ isn't supposed to play a major role yet in the IM movies? Just enough to setup things for the Avengers and then his true role will unfold? That's the sense I got.
