Sure Shots: The Avengers; Jonah Hex; Alice in Wonderland

Quickly...

* Marvel Studios are hard at work trying to find a name actress to liven up their future superhero films. The names reportedly on their list are Alice Eve(She's Out of My League), Rachel Nichols(GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra), and Malin Ackerman(Watchmen). Marvel is only looking to sign one of the three to a multi picture deal, likely to begin with The Avengers. All of them have some comic book film experience. Eve was considered for the role of Peggy Carter in the upcoming Captain America film; Nichols as Scarlett in GI Joe; and obviously Ackerman as the sexy Silk Spectre in Watchmen.  No clue as to who the actress would play, but that hasn't stopped fanboys from naming the obvious choice: Janet Van Dyne aka The Wasp.

*No longer late for a very important date, it seems. It's expected that today Alice in Wonderland will become the 6th film to cross the $1 billion threshold. It joins the ranks of The Dark Knight, LOTR: The Return of the King, Titanic, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, and Avatar.

*IGN has a new trailer for Warner Brothers' upcoming western, Jonah Hex. This time around, the action is even more frantic and sillier than in the last trailer. Doesn't make the movie look good by any stretch, and Megan Fox is still super lame. You can check it out here. Jonah Hex sidles into theaters on June 18th, 2010.
