So today we are more than happy to bring you a list of young up and coming actresses who are testing for a new female sidekick part in Joss Whedon’s “The Avengers”. Samuel L. Jackson, Nick Fury himself, told the Jimmy Fallon audiences last night that he would be meeting with five actresses tomorrow for a sidekick position opposite his character, and today THR reports that four of the five young ladies are Morena Baccarin, Jessica Lucas, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Cobie Smulders.

While I presume the character in question is SHIELD mainstay, Maria Hill (who Morena would be perfect for), I gotta have hopes for my perfect woman Jessica Lucas. This could be her break, though she doesn't seem suited for Maria Hill (if she's the character).
Notes:
- Nick Fury will appear in Captain America and Thor this summer.
- Chris Evans is set to be Cap in
six movies. What ratio of Captain America to Avengers movie aren't said. Bear in mind he could appear in Iron Man and that could count. Many of these deals are unique in that actors are signed to appear as their characters, but not signed to particular movies. The sixth movie could be Civil War for all we know. I imagine Marvel will push out bargain priced movies and save big spending for cross over films. They'd also have the actors rotate as to service their own careers and keep them 'fresh'. So Chris Evans may cameo as Cap in Iron Man 3 and then star in Captain America 2 the year after. These are just my stab at 'industry analyzing'.
