    The Avengers (movie) : other female members

    Thank you for taking the time to view my thread.


    Were other female members of the Avengers even considered for the movie that was released in theaters this year?


    To my limited knowledge, The Wasp and The Scarlet Witch were the earliest female members of the Avengers. In addition, they were / are longstanding (again to my limited knowledge) members of the Avengers.

    The Wasp of course also has the support of the cartoon that has run last year and this year.


    If not in lieu of The Black Widow, then were either The Wasp, or The Scarlet Witch considered in addition to the Black Widow character for the movie this year?

    The groundwork for the Black Widow was already laid down in "Iron Man 2". Someone like The Wasp or The Scarlet Witch would have had to have their backstory explained a bit and there probably wasn't enough time for that. With some if the team dynamics out if the way now in "The Avengers" I can see them expanding the cast for the sequel.

      No prob.... but remember: now you OWE me! Bwahahahahahaaaaa!!!!!

      Probably; but they went with the Black Widow because.... well.... I dunno. Maybe 'cos her costume is so simple? (And Matrix-y?)

      Realisticly there were probably a LOT of characters considered during development.

      It's an interesting question 'cos I have a freind who's son wants them to be the Avengers this Halloween, and she's having a tough time coming up with a costume. Her son wants to be Captain America, and they're planning to paint the bulldog green and put purple shorts on him. (I hope someone films that.) She'd like to be someone other than the BW 'cos the costume is kinda blah.

      'Course, if you go by the comic I think durned near EVERYONE'S been an Avenger at some point. There've been a few female characters I'd say were more prominent than the BW too; Ms Marvel, Captain Marvel, Wasp and Scarlet Witch of course, She-Hulk, Tigra, Mockingbird....

        Yes actually. The Wasp, before Johanson was signed on, was in an earlier draft.

          Ms. Marvel is rumored for 2. I'm assuming Ant Man and Wasp, too.

            I don't think it would be easy to bring in the Scarlett Witch.

              It's a safe bet to assume The Wasp will appear in the forthcoming Ant-Man movie in 2015.

                I love the Wasp and think it would be terrific to see Janet in a film.
