A while ago I posited that though she probably wouldn’t acquire her own movie, The Wasp was almost certainly going to appear in The Avengers movie that Marvel is promising. Janet Pym, née, Van Dyne, aka, the Wasp, was a founding member of the Avengers, and Ant-Man’s wife/ex-wife. So we could conceivably see her appear in the Ant-Man movie as well.
Now, thanks to Flawed Hollywood, a photo of Eva Longoria exiting the Marvel Comics offices on Friday, carrying a pile of reading material including an Avengers book, has got me very excited. (Check out the image here at right and click for larger view.)
A quick look at her face and you see Janet Pym immediately. I honestly don’t think they could have picked someone better for the Wasp if they tried.
Is she going to play the Wasp? I don’t know, but I would sure love to see her in that role. And I don’t actually think that people will have to wait for The Avengers movie to come along to see her, rather seeing her in the 2010 Ant-Man movie.

I also see an Iron Man Adventures there in the back!
Since Avengers isn’t scheduled until after Thor and Cap at the very least have made their debuts, could she actually be looking at a role in the upcoming Iron Man sequel?
Madame Masque, perhaps…?

hopefully thor and captain america don’t go so horribly wrong that they dont make it to the avengers movie…
the same way that the lack luster superman reboot stalled the justice league movie.
