Anna Kendrick Get Supports From Russo Brothers For Squirrel Girl

 

Two months ago, Squirrel Girl was widely considered to be one of, if not the most obscure superheroes in the Marvel catalog – that was, until Pitch Perfect stalwart Anna Kendrick threw her support behind the cutesy character, claiming that she’d be down for the part.

She wasn’t alone in thinking that, either, with the illustrious Edgar Wright also vouching for Kendrick to nab the role, despite the fact that there’s currently no Squirrel Girl movie in production. Speaking to Yahoo, the directing siblings stated: “It would be perfect casting, and we’re huge Anna Kendrick fans.”



As a Squirrel Girl movie continues to scurry around the rumor mill, the Russo brothers also solicited questions about 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War, revealing that they currently have their “hands full trying to tell the story we have with our preexisting characters.” That makes it tricky to shoehorn in additional characters in the vein of, say, Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel. When pressed about Carol Danvers, Anthony Russo remain tight-lipped.
