Way back in 2012, director Joss Whedon mentioned that he would like Black Widow, played by Scarlett Johansson, have a "sister" on the team.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly in an exclusive interview, he joked, "I think we need to get some more men on the team."
And, two years on, rumor has it that there may be another woman on board in "The Avengers 2." Plus another superhero - Spiderman, perhaps?
"There's new speculation that Spiderman (Andrew Garfield) was going to join the 'Avengers', but the photo that purportedly shows Garfield on set is actually photoshopped," The Epoch Times said. The site also added that there are speculations that She-Hulk may join the gang at some point. After all, she's like Bruce Banner's twin sister. Or cousin, if you ask Moviepilot, which presented an imaginary scene for "The Avengers: Age of Ultron" where the superheroine could make her appearance.
"Let's say when Ultron decides to go rogue and start destroying New York at about halfway into the film, in that chaos Bruce Banner's cousin: Jennifer Walters was wounded but Hulk saves her," the movie news source related. "None of the Avengers' blood matches Jennifer's except for one: Bruce's. As a last resort, Bruce performs a blood transfusion to save the only family he has. She lives but little do they all know that Bruce's blood has created another monster."
"Just as the big ending fight begins (we know there's going to be one), Jennifer is crushed by a pile of concrete by Ultron," Moviepilot continued. "This causes Bruce to transform out of anger and begin fighting along the Avengers. A green hand punches through the rubble, standing from it is the new hero: the She-Hulk."
What do you think of this scenario, folks?
This was inspired by a recent interview on Reddit with Mark Ruffalo, who plays Bruce "The Hulk" Banner, where he was asked about who would be perfect as the She-Hulk.
"Oh wow, that's pretty crazy. Well I think Zoe Saldana would be a great She Hulk. It'd be nice to see someone like her join the Avengers. Or someone quiet and demure like Emma Stone would be nice. But it would be up to the powers that be," he mused.
Currently, there is no confirmation about whether there will be another female superhero in "The Avengers 2," which is still shooting as we speak. We'll probably know in the next few months, together with a new trailer, as the May 1, 2015 release date draws near.
