Cobie Smulders In Negotiations For The Avengers

Cobie Smulders, best known for her role as Robin in the TV show How I Met Your Mother, is in negotiations to join The Avengers. If she joins, she'll play SHIELD agent Maria Hill, sidekick to Nick Fury, who will be played by Samuel L. Jackson. Smulders tested for the role this week and apparently it's all but confirmed that she will join. Director Joss Whedon has had his eye on Smulders for a while and apparently he originally wanted her for Wonder Woman back when he was looking at developing that project.
