However, according to IMDB she's listed as Iron Maiden, another armored villain. Still another rumor is that she is playing the computer voice of War Machine--which seems to make the most sense as she has joked about playing War Machine himself on her show.

i'm hoping its something small...NOT the Scarlet Witch. HELL NO to Scarlet Witch.

i can't picture her being a good actress. just watch Attack of the Show. yeah, she has her funny moments, but she's eye-candy at best.

i thought it ws confirmed that she would be the voice of War Machine's armor.

I wouldn't mind if she was the iron madien, but the scarlet witch seems like something that if introuduced in Iron Man 2, will probably be carried over into the Avengers, and i don't think she has the acting chops for such a big role.

She is hot as [frick] though.

Iron Maiden (Melina Vostokoff)most notably an enemy of the Black Widow. Hired as an assassin for the Russian government, Iron Maiden fought Black Widow formidably until S.H.I.E.L.D. agents arrived and put an end to the battle.

Cool. I would be happy with her being a voice or eye candy in I.M.2

Either way, it's a nod towards geeks world wide and a good oportunity for her to get more exposure. With any luck, her Playboy spread won't be too far away!

I would think Fox owns the Scarlet Witch as part of the X-Men rights.

fox has rights to the x-men and scarlet witch is a mutant in those comics so i doubt that very much.

Olivia Munn is worthless. Her stupidity outweighs her hotness. I was sad to hear that she would be Iron Maiden since I did read the comics. I truly hope they cast her as some anonymous voice, like they did with JARVIS and don't cast her as anything major.

The Scarlet Witch is an Avenger first and foremost I would think she would be Marvels. Thats worth checking in to.

I'm thinking Fox has the film rights to the Scarlet Witch.Even though she has been an Avengers character for a long time, she is a mutant and made her original appearance in X-Men.Even though he wasn't named, there was a character in the Wolverine movie who many say is Quicksilver.That leads me to believe they do have the rights.

This is something I've always wondered.When someone buys the film rights to a comic book property, what does that entail?Do you get all characters that appear in that book or do you get characters who were created for/made their debut in that book?Do you have to buy the rights to individual characters you want to use, but debuted in other properties?

For instance, when Fox purchased the X-Men, did they get every character who is or has been in the title or is associated with it?Did the New Mutants and all derivative teams come along with it?I'm thinking it must work like that, and if there's a X-character who didn't originally appear in the X-Men title, maybe you buy that character separately.Fox owns Wolverine, yet he was created in The Incredible Hulk and they don't have the rights to the Hulk.Same goes for Sabertooth, who appeared in Iron Fist not X-Men.Also Mystique and Rogue made their debut in Ms Marvel and The Avengers.

If anyone has any insight on this, please educate me, or point me to a website.

Nope. nope nope nope nope nope nope nope
nopeity nope nope.

They haven't showed anything in the trailers about her. As Iron Maiden, War Machine's voice, or anything. How do we even know she's in Iron Man 2?
That may seem like a naive thing to say, but come on....

She definitley aint Scarlet Witch. That would take the movie in a total different direction.

like, "Hey, look, it's Barry Manilow!"
"Oh, and a donut!!!!!! DONUTS!!!!!!!"

See?

Anyone else think that the girls in the faux Iron Man armor from the trailer could be "Iron Maidens?" I'd put money on her just being a model in Iron Man armor, no more, no less.

I think the questions that come up with regard to who owns which character rights is pretty interesting. With regard to the characters in question, I would imagine that Wanda and Pietro would still be a property that Marvel could use as long as it is not expressly stated that they are Magneto's children. With regard to a character like Wolverine, I would say that FOX probably had to purchase his rights separately from the X-Men just because he is such a major character in the overall Marvel U. I'm not really basing this off any legal knowledge, just what makes sense to my personal line of logic. I could certainly be wrong.

What I'm more interested in finding out is how Marvel can go about reaquiring the film rights to the characters they have farmed out. Personally, if you're going to re-boot Spider-Man I would rather see it in Marvel's hands. The same goes for the FF, Daredevel, the Punisher, and the X-Men. I want to see what the new House of Ideas can do with the properties that they made great.

Every time an attractive actress is cast in a CBM, the CBM fan community let their imagination run wild.

Remember when Sarah Dunn was cast in TDK, evreyone was divided between those who thought she was Catwoman or Harley Quinn, and who did she play? Eric Roberts' arm candy.

She's not Scarlet Witch, I seriously doubt she's Iron Maiden. The Jarvette thing I could buy, since it would require minimal acting skills, but it could be something even more minor.

I really don't see how casting Munn in any role in IM2 would ruin the franchise. She is one in amidst an already stellar cast. I am not concerned in the least bit.

I bet you she'll play Olivia Munn, interviewing Tony Stark. She'll be on screen long enough to look hot. She's not going to have some huge role

thenumber12 - 3/6/2010, 12:14 AM
I gotta agree with jimlad actually, it makes sense. A LOT OF SENSE!
I mean, i would love to see Olivia Munn in tight red spandex, but hey, i doubt she really is the scarlet witch, but i would still give her a poke

thenumber12 - 3/6/2010, 12:48 AM

@ hawksbuleeyes

"The Scarlet Witch is an Avenger first and foremost"

i don't know man! originally she was an x-men villain. she's probably spent the most time with the Avengers, but she definately has heavy ties to the x-men universe. i could see her being Fox's or Marvel's. i guess it just depends on whether or not Fox owns the rights to ALL mutant characters or not. it would be worth looking into, if i knew how, lol.

@ thenumber12

was it one of your comments, or something you had in your article?? i know the editor's edit offensive things out of articles, and i also know they edit things with bad grammar. they don't usually edit people's opinions if it doesn't have some kind of problem like that with them. but hey, you're posting an article on SOMEONE ELSE'S site. they can't just let the inmates run the asylum, y'know??

@ CorndogBurglar

No, it was the article, i had said something a long the lines of olivia munn was supposed to be the iron madien, and now the scarelt witch, and then who ever edits the pages but that the iron madien was the name of war machines voice or some crap.

i have seen her in one movie and she was ok in it it was a horror movie called insanitarum she was not the star but her part was kind of big

I've got my fingers crossed that Olivia Munn plays Jennifer Walters or Jessica Drew.

@Kenny: I'm confused about all that too. I'm hoping that whatever the deal is that Fox has with Marvel gets burnt to the ground my Micky Mouse. We need the X-Men and F4 in the Marvel Movie Universe. The F4 is the cornerstone of the MU.

@PeterParker: No way dude! I wonder if she's a member here...
MistressKizuna
MistressKizuna - 3/6/2010, 9:43 PM
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!

If she is Wanda, I will seriously nuke a city.

She's funny, but that works against her because I personally just can't take her seriously, and moreover, she's NOT EUROPEAN!!!!!!!!!!!




Sorry, I'm just in a horrible mood right now.


KOL KOL KOL KOL...
MistressKizuna
MistressKizuna - 3/7/2010, 11:02 AM
The point still stands - Olivia Munn does not have what it takes to be Wanda, and from what I've seen from other sites, it doesn't seem like anyone else buys this news. So all in all, it sounds like BS rumors, like the usual thing.
peterparker420
peterparker420 - 3/7/2010, 4:49 PM
jusme6- MAYBE..That would be awesome! She used THIS
site as referance!!..She could be anyone!

LEEE777 - 3/14/2010, 11:04 AM
I've said from the very start that she could be WANDA!!!! (West Coast Avengers connection and good very good friends to TONY too!)

Just makes sense!

Much like DENNINGS for HELA from the start!!

I say YES!
