If rumors are true, a Marvel movie.

MTV Splash Page reports that Sackhoff was recently seen in LA comic shop Golden Apple, buying up appearances of Marvel villain Typhoid Mary as research; according to store workers, the actress "proclaimed that she's hoping to land a role in a Marvel movie."

While we're happy to watch Sackhoff in almost anything, we're hoping that she's not going to be playing Mary in anything anytime soon. Not only because Typhoid Mary is primarily known as a Daredevil villain, and we're not exactly in favor of the planned reboot of the Daredevil franchise, but because Typhoid Mary, with her fractured past, self-loathing and psychosis feels just a little bit too similar to a superpowered evil Starbuck to us, and we're not sure we're up to that just yet. If Sackhoff really wants a role in a Marvel movie, we'd much rather see her as Ms. Marvel in the Avengers movie, anyway.

<![CDATA[Iron Man Fan Film Looks Good To Go]]> We've already told you about five fan films that blew us away. With more Iron Man on the horizon, a reader (thanks Clive!) has let us know about this fan film featuring the other Man of Steel that looks pretty snazzy. It not only includes Ms. Marvel, the Black Widow, Nick Fury, and a decidedly non-Asian, curly-headed Mandarin, but it doesn't relegate Pepper Potts to her traditional "Oh, Tony!" role.

David Guivant is an aspiring production artist by day, and a fan filmaholic by night. What's more impressive is that he made this trailer for a fictional Iron Man television series using Apple's iMovie software and Adobe Photoshop for the 2D special effects that look like they were rendered in 3D. It's been a two year labor of love for the resident of New Caledonia (a tiny island between New Zealand and Australia) which really showcases the power of doing it yourself.

Now, if these characters only had some actual lines... we'd think he might be onto something.
