Eden Sher
‏@edensher

Went to marvel offices at noon for a "15 minute meeting." 3 hrs and 80 lbs of issues later, here I am paralyzed from excitement.

who do you think she'll play?

 

[seahammer]

who do you think she'll play?

Jessica Jones? Some original supporting character (a la Darcy...)?

I have no idea. Her character on The Middle is soooooooo goofy, I have a hard time imagining her doing something outside that role. It's not a criticism, that's just the character. Has anyone seen her in anything serious?

 

[R_Hythlodeus]

If it's an original character than why the stacks of comic books?
Marvel retweeted her tweet so it seems pretty official right now

 

[Ant-manic]

she's playing an unusually old Cassie Lang. or Bill Foster. does Marvel own the character from 'Blossom.' i could see her taking on that role.

 

[Sexy Magician]

Jessica Jones seems likely, or maybe Karen Page as a love interest to Daredevil

^ Yeah, that's a good point.

Someone in the Jessica Jones thread just pointed out that in a later tweet, she mentioned Ms. Marvel in some way, too.

 

[R_Hythlodeus]

Cassie Lang is what I'm thinking too

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

 

[Incarnadine]

I like this news. They really drab her down on the show, but she's hot as hell and surprisingly stacked when she dresses up.

 

[Ant-manic]

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

less sense than her being Bill Foster?

 

[seahammer]

A bit.

 

[DrCosmic]

You can't get "80lbs" of Cassie Lang comics, can you?

 

[VictusMortuus]

I believe we'll be finding out at comiccon at the latest that she's in fact playing Carol Danvers.

 

[cph9fa]

There's speculation it was for Ms Marvel (Carol Danvers?) due to her thanking a Marvel editor (Sana Amanat) for some Ms. Marvel (presumably Kamala Khan?) issues. I'm not sure that necessarily indicates anything conclusive.

Later explained by @Marvel as:

Actress @edensher visited Marvel today to pick up some comics, talk tonight's season finale of @TheMiddle_ABC & more!

 

[Ant-manic]

You can't get "80lbs" of Cassie Lang comics, can you?

i doubt it. but she has been around since the 80s. that would be really weird if she were playing Carol Danvers. there's not even a vague physical resemblance. but Carol is a close friend of Jessica Jones. and the collective works of Bendis might weigh 80lbs.

appearance comparisons


Carol Danvers appears in 2460 issues
Jessica Jones appears in 432 issues
Stature appears in 422 issues

I think she can work as Carol Denvers.

Marvel gave her Ms. Marvel comics to read.

 

[Harry Dresden]

Interesting...

She might be an original character or is that ruled out?

 

[Shakel92]

She would be perfect as Jessica Jones.

 

[Harry Dresden]

Jessica Jones is a better possibility than Carol Danvers methinks.

 

[jonathancrane]

I look forward to whatever role she takes on, original or pre-existing.

 

[PyroChamber]

How old is she anyway? Seems a bit young for Jessica Jones.

 

[Ant-manic]

Eden Sher is 22. Jessica Jones, in the books, is basically an invisible classmate of Peter Parker.

With Marvel getting all these actors and actresses, I'm surprised there aren't more celebs beating down Marvel's door to get a role.

i've heard that several black actors have been hang gliding around the Marvel offices; in hopes of being the next Falcon.

 

[cherokeesam]

Did....did Marvel just cast Ms. Marvel....?

Dat tweet....she specifically mentions that the stack she's reading is Ms. Marvel.


*Edit: here 'tis (i.e., her Tweet to the Marvel editor):

“@MiniB622 literally mad that walking is keeping me from starting Ms. Marvel rn. TYVM 4 the issues. Promise next time I see you I won’t cry.”
