Eva Longoria Parker has been spotted leaving Marvel Comics's offices with a pile of comic books, sparking suggestions that she is to appear in an adaptation of The Avengers.

The Desperate Housewives actress is reportedly in consideration for the role of The Wasp, aka Janet Van Dyne, who has the superhuman ability to extend and contract her body.

It is rumoured that Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr. and Incredible Hulk actor Edward Norton will join her in the movie, as both characters are members of the superhero group.
