Tag: Carol Danvers

It’s a couple years away until production starts on the sequel to The Avengers. However, Marvel already knows what characters will be joining the team and now there’s a rumor that they are already looking at actresses to fill the role of one of these characters. According to Daily Mail, we should expect to see Carol Danvers AKA Ms. Marvel, who has speculated in the past. Not only that but the site goes on to state that Emily Blunt (Looper) and Ruth Wilson (Luther) are up for the role.

“Meanwhile, British actresses Emily Blunt and Ruth Wilson are head-to-head in a race for the most sought-after new female role in Hollywood. Emily, 29, and Ruth, 30, are both hotly tipped to play superhero Ms. Marvel in Avengers 2, the sequel to Avengers Assemble.”

So, for now take this rumor very lightly. But it is worth noting that if this is true it wouldn’t be the first time Marvel tried to nab Emily Blunt for a role. She was originally attached to to the role Black Widowin Iron Man 2, and she also turned down the role of Peggy Carter in Captain America: The First Avenger. Also with Marvel Studios going cosmic it doesn’t sound entirely unlikely. The only issue here is that this site isn’t really known for breaking casting news so we’re going to have to hold out on getting too excited on this one.
