With the entire cast due in Hall H for the major Marvel Studios panel on Saturday, you can be sure they will be delivering some major news.

"There are four prominent female roles in the center of the movie and I think a more balanced presence throughout the movie," Whedon told HeyUGuys in an interview.


Carol Danvers/Ms. Marvel/Captain Marvel is rumored to be making her big screen debut in Avengers: Age of Ultron, so with that in mind, will she be the fourth? Whedon didn't reveal much in the short interview but did note that the character is one of his favorites.

In theaters May 2015, The Avengers: Age of Ultron will once again reunite Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, and Samuel L. Jackson. Joining the cast will be James Spader, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olson, Thomas Kretschmann, and Paul Bettany.
