Marvel casting news is a hot topic this past week or so. We've had Tommy Lee Jones and Dominic Cooper confirmed for roles in
The First Avenger: Captain America. Also, over the weekend two separate stories help to give credence to each other that we might see Carol Danvers/Ms. Marvel in
The Avengers played by either Alice Eve or Malin Akerman. AvengerNews is reporting we may have more Marvel casting news this week involving Josh Holloway (
Lost):
Apparently there’s been talk between Marvel and his [Josh Holloway]
group to play a “lead” role in an upcoming Marvel film. We mention a “lead” role because these bigger actors often won’t sign “retainers”, meaning everything should be 100% locked (character, film, etc) for Josh once he’s signed the dotted line.
At this point the role or movie are not known but AvengerNews has assembled this short list based on
"the subtle hints we've received."
Hank Pym (
The Avengers or the planned
Ant-Man solo movie)
Clint Barton/Hawkeye (possible S.H.I.E.L.D. member in
The Avengers and the planned
S.H.I.E.L.D. spin-off movie)
Timothy “Dum Dum” Dugan (high ranking S.H.I.E.L.D. member in
The Avengers and lead role in the planned
S.H.I.E.L.D. spin-off movie)
