Maria Hill may have been cast in the Avengers movie

According to The Hollywood Reporter Colbie Smulders most notably known as Robin Scherbatsky from CBS' "How I Met Your Mother" is in final talks to play the role of Maria Hill.

For those who don't know Maria Hill first appeared in New Avengers 4# as the New director director of S.H.I.E.L.D when Nick Fury went underground due to the Secret Wars fiasco. In the movie Maria Hill would be nothing more than Nick Fury's(Samuel L. Jackson) right hand(or i guess left hand since Black Widow is the right hand) woman. Currently in comics Maria Hill is the liaison inbetween the prime Avengers team and the current S.H.I.E.L.D director Steve Rogers aka Captain America.

Colbie Smulders would also be joining a cast that already includes Robert Downey Jr.(Tony Stark), Chris Evans (Steve Rogers), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Scarlett Johansson (Natasha Romanoff), Mark Ruffalo (Bruce Banner), Jeremy Renner (Clint Barton), Kevin Pennington(undisclosed), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), and Clark Gregg (Phil Coulson), with Joss Whedon assembling The Avengers in theaters May 4, 2012.
