Spider-Man: Homecoming - 13 Biggest Rumours You Need To Know (July 4th)
12. Anna Kendrick Could Join As Squirrel Girl
Anna Kendrick has decided to throw her hat in the ring to play Squirrel Girl, presumably for a movie that hasn't even been announced yet. Unless of course she's secretly going to join an already announced Marvel project...
Could that be Spider-Man: Homecoming? Well, as MovieWeb cleverly pointed out, Squirrel Girl is most notably a Great Lakes Avengers team member, and when he was asked which other Avengers might show up in Homecoming, Joe Russo tantalisingly offered the following tease:
"Let's just say ... Great Lakes Avengers."
Confirmed? Not quite.
Rating: 1/10
Yeah, that's not happening. You can smell the shenanigans on Russo's quote, and the likelihood of a low level Avenger turning up and potentially stealing some of the comic focus from Spider-Man himself in his first solo outing is incredibly unlikely.
Good casting idea though.
