Things are looking a little brighter for Alice to star in the upcoming movie, “The Avengers.” Malin Akerman, who was also named as one of the actresses in the running for the part was unaware:
“I saw that [on the internet] and I copied and pasted it to my agent,” Åkerman told me last night at the Maui Film Festival screening of happythankyoupleasemore, an indie ensemble dramedy in which she plays a woman living with alopecia (yes, she shaved her eyebrows for the part). “He was like, ‘Where did you get this?’ He called the studio and it was just a made-up rumor unfortunately.”
Not that Åkerman wouldn’t welcome the idea of being considered for a role in the superhero flick, which is being directed by Joss Whedon. “Maybe it’ll influence the studio to go ahead and be like, ‘Hey, how about Malin Åkerman for the part?’” she laughed. “But for now, it’s just a rumor. I don’t know how it started.”
