Last week, we told you that Joss Whedon was basing his take on the Scarlet Witch on actress Saoirse Ronan.

While we’re still a long way off from casting the role, odds are that Ronan could be offered first crack at the role once Avengers 2 starts filming (assuming the character makes it to the final draft of the script, of course).

The good news is that Ronan was made aware of Whedon’s comments and during an interview with the Mary Sue, she said she’d be interested in taking the role.

“I love Joss and I love those films, and I love his handle on them and how he portrayed these kinds of superheroes. I think it’s very different from what anyone else has done. So yeah, I’d love to be in it,” she says.

She went on to add that she hopes she her taking on the role happens.
