Sidekick Highjjinx

While appearing on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" Samuel L. Jackson says that his alter ego Nick Fury will be making cameo appearances in "Thor" and Captain America: The First Avenger

He'll also have a female sidekick for The Avengers.

Heat Vision says that  V bad but lovely Morena Baccarin  Jessica Lucas Cobie Smulders and Mary Elizabeth Winstead will be testing big Sam on Friday for the part.

Baccarin worked before with helmer Joss Whedon on Serenity and its TV series prequel  Firefly; I would suppose that she's got the edge here. 

Meanwhile, Coming Soon has scans of photos contained within the Empire article about "Captain America: The First Avenger" 

We get our first look at footage from Cap this weekend with its Super Bowl XLV commercial!!

And finally Marvel.com offers up the first poster for "Captain America" out 7/22/11
