Has Marvel's stunt-casting hit a new high? G4's Olivia Munn has been known to appear in next month's Iron Man 2 for quite some time, but no-one knows what role she'll be playing. After her original footage was cut, director Jon Favreau cast her in a new role and shot newly-created scenes, leading many to wonder what was going on. Now Forces of Geek has heard the rumor that Munn's new character is none other than Janet Van Dyne, AKA The Avengers' Wasp, giving the relatively untried actress a surprisingly important role in Marvel's future movie plans - Well, unless she ends up dead early on, reflecting her status in both the Avengers and Ultimates series, of course.
Of course, this may just be a meaningless rumor; after all, Munn was also said to have been cast as the Scarlet Witch by internet sources this time last month.
