Alice Eve is one of the rumoured contenders for Joss Whedon’s new superhero movie, The Avengers. The Avengers first appeared in Marvel comics in the 1960s and the film is likely to be one of the biggest blockbusters of 2012. Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth and Samuel L. Jackson are all being mooted as potential stars. Marvel reportedly is keen to bring in Edward Norton to play the Hulk once again.

Alice Eve, has most notably acted in “Sex and the City 2″  as Charlotte’s nanny and  ”She’s Out of My League” as the leading lady, Molly. It is said that she is competing against Scarlett Johansson for the role, but the character has not yet been confirmed. Malin Akerman was rumoured to also be competition but she recently denied the rumours to the Press Association, saying that they were after all, only rumours but that she would have loved to be in the film.

As Alice has just come on the scene we haven’t yet sussed out her style, but at the SATC 2 US premiere, Alice was pictured looking gorgeous wearing a demure grey L’Wren Scott dress. This look was perhaps an attempt to show that she doesn’t dress like her dressed down, bra-less character in the film.

Alice obviously has the talent and beauty to make it big and the British star seems to be rising even higher in Hollywood.
