Iron Man 2 Olivia Munn Has Been Cast!

[Doc Ock]

Wow, months ago when I hear Olivia Munn was going to be in Iron Man II I thought it was a joke....its interesting it isn't.

 

[Rac]

I hope she ain't ****ing Wasp...

or at least they recast the role for Avengers...

 

[kedrell]

My money's on Christine Everheart-like role. Very small but still a character who DOES exist in the comics(albeit briefly).

 

[UnkillableMick]

If she's The Wasp, I may weep.

I am desperate for Kristen Bell to be The Wasp. Or failing that, Summer Glau.

She's not Wasp. The full cast listing is now up on IMDB, she's playing Chess Roberts.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Never, never trust IMDB.

Never, never trust IMDB.

Haha, I never do...before a film is complete (like, when Munn was still credited as Iron Maiden). But Iron Man 2 is now complete. It's been rated and it comes out next week internationally. If you check IMDB, you can clearly see the credits have been edited and now look final. Besides, I don't see any reason to doubt a casting such as Chess Roberts. It's a character on the same level as Christine Everhart. No one of real relevance, but still, a character from the comics, like Munn said she would play.

Who is Chess Roberts?

 

[Carlo Comicus]

Who is Chess Roberts?

I remember the character. One and only apparition on Iron Man during the Busiek run.

"Chess Roberts"

Who is Chess Roberts? The character's first and apparently only appearance in the comics, was Iron man Vol.3 #1. I managed to get a image for the character, directly from the comic.

If that is who she's playing then what the hell? She made it sound like she was playing a major character.

She made it sound like she was playing a major character.

Oh my god.... an attention ****e played something up so more people would talk about her?!!?!?!?! Call Guinness!

 

[TheVileOne]

Hey don't talk about Olivia that way.

She didn't lie though.

 

[kedrell]

As I figured, a Christine Everheart-type role. Fans can now sleep easy that she won't be messing up the Wasp or Scarlett Witch.

 

[Gilpesh]

Hey don't talk about Olivia that way.

Why? It's not like:

1) She'll ever read it.

B) That you're a close personal friend of hers and not just a fanboy.

III) That I am saying something that is false.

Some people call this "promotion".

 

[TheVileOne]

Just FYI, Chess Roberts is a reporter at the Stark Expo.

Nice touch.

 

[Mr. Earle]

So who is she playing after all?

 

[Gilpesh]

Random female character #27.

 

[ImWithTeamConan]

Chess Roberts.

Screentime : 12 seconds ! XD

Almost one page on this board per second!

 

[Venom]

I'm curious as to what her original role was. Hopefully it's on the deleted scenes on the DVD.
