Ms Marvel Making Cameo in The Avengers 2?

The cast of The Avengers: Age of Ultron is already seemingly packed to the brim with characters, but a new rumor suggests one more could squeeze her way in before the final credits roll.

Devin Faraci of Badass Digest reports Carol Danvers, aka Ms. Marvel, will make a cameo appearance in The Avengers 2. "I have information about multiple drafts of Avengers: Age of Ultron, and all feature a cameo by a character the script calls Ms. Marvel (nothing else, including a civilian name or basic look, is specified)," the site reports. "It's a cameo, so it could change at any time, but the character is planned for the Marvel Cinematic Universe."

Ordinarily, this would be little more than a rumor, but consider what writer/director Joss Whedon said recently to HeyUGuys about female characters in his film. Whedon revealed he has placed four prominent female figures into The Avengers 2. Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) are already part of the roster, and we know Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) will be in the movie, so that makes three. The rumors about Carol Danvers aka Ms. Marvel appearing in the sequel would fill in the fourth slot.

Whedon offered a non-answer when asked about the identity of this final female, but he did offer the character is one of his favorites.

Do you think Ms. Marvel will appear in Age of Ultron? If so, what sort of role would she play? Is it to set up a future movie? Let us know in the comments below.
