With Parks & Recreation reportedly coming to an end soon and star Chris Pratt appearing in Guardians of the Galaxy, could his onscreen ex-girlfriend Rashida Jones also be headed to the Marvel Cinematic Universe once the series is over?That’s what Superhero Movies News is claiming, saying that the actress best known for her roles in NBC sitcoms is now a favorite to star as Janet Van Dyne in Ant-Man. The character, according to their source, will be introduced as a love interest for the lead character and won’t actually get her own powers and costume (as The Wasp) in the film. They do speculate, though, that there might be implications of things to come in that department.The site claims they wouldn’t believe it themselves if their anonymous source weren’t the same one who told them months ago that Paul Rudd was director Edgar Wright’s pick for Ant-Man. Now, Rudd isn’t Joseph Gordon-Levitt. There isn’t anybody trying to attach his name to anything that moves, and when this rumor came up months ago–first reported by ComicBook.com–it was easy enough for many to dismiss as unlikely.
