Russo Brothers: Anna Kendrick would be “perfect casting” for Squirrel Girl
If that’s not enough, they will also be directing both upcoming Avengers movies.
Anna Kendrick has stated before that she wants to play Marvel’s squirreliest hero and the Russo brothers are all for seeing her in the role, Yahoo News reports.”It would be flawless casting, and we’re huge Anna Kendrick fans”, Joe Russo asserts. The Internet has been flooded with fan art depicting Anna as Squirrel Girl. And, c’mon, you’ve got to admit she looks pretty awesome. But two men who really matter – in terms of making decisions at least – are The Russo Brothers who are now developing Avengers: Infinity War. Anthony Russo was quick to explain that she’s not a character who will suddenly pop up in Infinity War as they have their “hands full trying to tell the story we have with our preexisting characters”. Although Anthony did hint, “That’s not to say we’re not going to introduce a new character“.
But Anthony then added, “That’s not to say we’re not going to introduce a new character“. Maybe one who’ll be played by none other than Brie Larson? The part, of course, has already gone to Room Oscar victor (and Kendrick’s Scott Pilgrim costar) Brie Larson, a casting that was made official during Marvel’s panel at San Diego Comic-Con in July.
The Russos were tight-lipped on any more info, saying “That’s one we’re going to have to plead the fifth on”. The brothers also refused to confirm how much progress they’ve made with Infinity War’s line-up as they previously revealed they were picking out roles from a list of 65 characters.
Asked if they’d narrowed the board down yet from that ambitious number, the Russo Bros. had more jokes. He’s off the board.
As a Squirrel Girl movie continues to scurry around the rumor mill, the Russo brothers also solicited questions about 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War, revealing that they now have their “hands full trying to tell the story we have with our preexisting characters”. “Wanted too much money.”‘ Dr.
