Cobie Smulders is getting ready to head down to the southwest for her hiatus to take on the role of Maria Hill for the Marvel Studios movie The Avengers as directed by Joss Whedon and filled with an all-star cast. Smulders spoke to the folks at Zap2It recently about it and what’s on tap for the costumes and her her general views on such projects:
“We start in April, which is like… tomorrow,” Smulders says. “I literally leave here and I go to Albuquerque, New Mexico, to shoot some scenes in a catsuit.”
“I’ve tried on portions of the catsuit,” says Smulders, “[and] I’ve seen conceptual drawings of what they want it to be. It’s fascinating to me. I feel like wardrobe becomes very creative on these types of movies because they literally spend weeks designing just the pants or the emblem. It’s such an all-consuming process, so I’m excited to see how it all turns out.”
Smulders has some decent connections to the director as she was originally his pick when he was slated to work on a Wonder Woman theatrical movie and her co-star on How I Met Your Mother, Neil Patrick Harris, was the lead in his web original series Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.
