'V' star Baccarin rumoured for 'Avengers'

V star Morena Baccarin is rumoured to be under consideration for the role of The Wasp in Joss Whedon's upcoming adaptation of Marvel Comics' The Avengers.

During an interview at New York Comic Con, Baccarin refused to clarify whether the rumours were true about Whedon's interest in her for the part.

"I wish I had more information for you," Baccarin explained to Access Hollywood. "All I will say is I will never turn down an opportunity to work with him."

Baccarin has previously worked with Whedon on the science fiction series Firefly and its film follow-up Serenity.

It is currently unknown whether the character of Janet Van Dyne, aka The Wasp, will appear in the film, despite the character being a founding member of the superhero team in the original comic book series.

The Avengers is currently scheduled to be released in 3D on May 4, 2012.
