Eva Longoria Avengers!?

Eva Longoria’s television role as Gabrielle on Desperate Housewives will come to an end in 2011, around the same time the Avengers movie is set for release. This would be perfect timing for the actress to continue her career high, and make a debut as a superhero in the anticipated film.

After the photos of Eva leaving Marvel Comics hit the net rumors started flying that she was up for a role in the Avengers movie, and the most popular theory is that Eva is up for the role of Janet van Dyne.
