IMDB recently updated their casting information for Joss Whedon's The Avengers, and they've listed that Felicia Day has been cast as S.W.O.R.D Agent Abigail Brand. It looks like some Frost Giants have also been cast in the movie. Now IMBD has been known to be incorrect on some of the stuff they post, but it would be great if this turned out to be true.

This would make sense for the fact that Whedon actually created this character during his comic book series, Astonishing X-Men. Day has also worked with a Whedon a couple of times, in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. And it's no secret that he likes to work with people that he's already worked with.

Here is what is know about the character Abigail Brand. she is the commanding officer of S.W.O.R.D., a S.H.I.E.L.D. offshoot that deals with defending the Earth from extraterrestrial threats. Almost no details about her personal life have been revealed, but she is known to be 28 years old as of the Skrull's Secret Invasion.

Thank you to Black King at Screen Gems for the head's up! 🙂
 
Hm interesting, I like Felicia in quirky roles so it'll be interesting to see how this ends up. 🙂 Thanks for posting.
 
If she is it will probably be a brief cameo to start the movie; something like her working from the SWORD offices and the whole thing blows up.. as per the comic storyline.
 
I figured it wasn't. But with Joss loving to cast actors who he has worked with, it's surprising that he didn't try to find some small parts for his favorites. Either he was more restricted when it comes to casting, or he just chose to go bigger, since it is a big movie.
 
Here's what Felicia said on Twitter:

"Wow, I log off for a few hours, crazy rumors flying around. As cool as it would be, they are not true. Love you all!"
