      If he does end up becoming super-powered, I can guarantee the costume's going to be heavily re-designed.

    Turns out Kevin Pennington won’t be playing Noh-Varr or Rick Jones in the AVENGERS, as had previously been rumored. He let a couple tweets slip out last spring revealed he’d be playing a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and it turns out that the specific agent is somewhere between the aforementioned two. He’ll be playing Wendell Vaughn, better known as Quasar.

    While the one-time Protector of the Universe is currently policing the whole galaxy as a member of the Annihilators, he actually started off a lowly security officer on detail for a S.H.I.E.L.D. research facility that housed the Uranian’s powerful Quantum Bands. When A.I.M attacked the facility, Vaughn put on the bands himself and went on to have a long career as a superhero (first as member of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s super team, then as a journeyman traveling the universe.)

    This scoop came Moviefone (via Comic Book Movie) because of a press release for a recruitment drive S.H.I.E.L.D. will be running in New York sometime soon. With Cobie Smulders, Samuel L. Jackson and Clark Gregg (the guy who plays Agent Phil Coulson) in attendance for photo ops, it sounds like some kind of viral spin on a typical press junket or appearance. Though, who knows, maybe it'll actually be an open casting call for extras to play S.H.I.E.LD. agents. == TEASER ==

    My sense is that the Vaughn is just going to be a regular agent  in this movie. Though, if the rumors about the Avengers fighting the Skrulls work out, I suspect the intention's to set him up to be some kind of cumulative Kree avatar in the sequels. Like maybe he’ll have Quasar’s origin, but wear Noh-Varr’s outfit and serve in Mar-Vell’s role. Do you think maniacs think that sounds about right?

    Wow, is that a McFarlane illustration of Quasar?  Marvel sure has was of setting things up.  It's like the Ultimate U on film.  Good way to set up a future hero for a sequel.

    Unfortuately it's not true. An article in IGN has stated that this particular press release is a fabrication. Here's the link if you want proof:

    Perhaps they are going the Ultimate rout with hi... oh, wait.  Thats Captain Marvel...
    Still, maybe they are going the Avengers cartoon rout and over the coarse of the first 2 or 3 movies introducing the ideas of Skrulls and Kree and such and eventually lead into the Kree/Skrull war or something.

    May not be true but Marvel Studios is probably going to be building up the cosmic universe in the movies. I think Quasar in this movie would be a great way to move it forward.  Just hope that the Fantastic Four and Silver Surfer gets back at Marvel so they can be a part of it.

    I want Quasar. That sounds like a cool way to introduce(outside Thor's little cosmic portion of the film) some space adventure awsome in the adventures sequels. 
     
    I like Nova, but he can wait. Intergalatic cops would be a stretch for movie goers as is.

    Wendell Vaughn is one of my favorite characters in comics, and I sincerely hope they put a decent spin on the character.  I don't mind if it's a new or blended origin story, so long as the character is halfway decent.  Here's hoping!

    True or not. The idea of Wendall Vaughn is kind of cool, especially if he is a part of shield. I was always a fan of his character growing up.

    @TheMess1428:  I know. Nothing ever is completely reliable. But it did say that the news came from an unquoted Marvel spokesperson so I'd assume he'd be privy to the top news. But like I said, it's not totally reliable

    Why are people over here so against Quasar? And why put up older pictures of the character when there are a whole bunch of newer ones on the site?
