Look like not only do we know the “female sidekick” role in The Avengers movie that Samuel L. Jackson talked about on Jimmy Fallon a couple of days ago, we also know the front-runner: Deadline reported today that How I Met Your Mother‘s Cobie Smulders is the front-runner for the role of Maria Hill, the agent and former direct of S.H.I.E.L.D. introduced by Brian Michael Bendis in New Avengers, and currently appearing in adjectiveless Avengers.
The Deadline report also states that Avengers director Joss Whedon considered Smulders for the role of Wonder Woman when he was attached to that project. Avengers is scheduled for release on May 4, 2012.
