Last week MTV noticed that Sam Worthington was wearing an Avengers t-shirt, and speculated that the actor might be cast or is conducting a silent campaign to be cast in the upcoming super-hero team-up film. At the time, we thought the conclusion was asinine, overly-reaching and sensationalistic.

I mean, Worthington has previously admitted to being a comic book reader, and it seems logical that the Avengers shirt might just be part of his casual wardrobe. But now that we’ve done some research of our own, we’ve uncovered evidence to suggest otherwise.

We’ve even discovered a batch of photos which might connect other actors and filmmakers with upcoming film projects, some of which haven’t even been announced in the trades. Check out what we’ve discovered after the jump.

Edgar Wright was spotted wearing an Endless Summer t-shirt. Could he be planning a narrative remake of the 1966 surfer documentary? Could be…

Eli Roth's Scorsese t-shirt

Eli Roth is wearing a t-shirt with the word “SCORSESE”. Could this mean that he is planning to remake Martin Scorsese’s classic Taxi Driver? We think it’s a possibility!

This photo of Juno screenwriter Diablo Cody from the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival most definitely indicates that she has been tapped to write a Nightmare on Elm Street sequel for Platinum Dunes.

Megan Fox Star Wars

Megan Fox was spotted wearing a Star Wars t-shirt, could she be in the running to play Princess Leia in a new Stars Wars remake? We think so!

This obviously photoshopped picture of Quentin Tarantino holding up a Goonies t-shirt seems to indicate that Tarantino is developing a Goonies remake, set during World War II, where we never get to see what is inside One Eyed Willie’s pirate ship. Could it be gold? We’ll never know.

And everyone is wondering what James Cameron will do after Avatar, but this photo suggests that he is prepping a sequel to Titanic. But if Cameron is doing Titanic 2 next, then who is going to direct the planned Avatar sequel?

Wait, JJ Abrams, what is that logo on your t-shirt!?

* If anyone didn’t get the obvious sarcasm, yes, this whole post is a joke.

    Jokes aside, some of the early release pictures from Avatar featuring James Cameron show Jim wearing a Battle Angel Alita T-shirt.

    Which, he already said, would be next in line for him.

    God damn you. Next thing you know I'm going to see Michael Bay wearing a Dark Knight t-shirt and cry. A lot.

    so the Louis Leterrier connection couldn't help fuel the rumor? since Louis could be directing Avengers and I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up helping Sam get cast in a role...there are a bunch of possibilities Captain America, Hawkeye or Ant-Man..I'm under the impression Leterrier could be directing Avengers since Jon dropped out
  • musicsoup
    And won't we all feel stupid if he ends up being Cap or Ant Man.
  • You gotta love a blog with a sense of humor.

    Haha! Good little article :D

    He wouldn't be a bad choice. Fun and speculation aside, you could do worse. A lot worse.
  • brian
    for Cap i meant
  • I'm ashamed of what I might watch just because Megan Fox is in it. No Star Wars shirt has ever looked better.
  • kfizz
    I think all the other ones have no real weight to them. But this one may of some merit to it since its closer to deals being made. Plus is he the new action hero he really has not had his hit.
  • Hilarious!
  • sammyjankis
    Joke and Aussie heritage aside, Sam Worthington may not be a bad choice for Captain America.....
  • You know, he really wouldn't. If anything, he has the build for it. And he has the look. And he's a decent actor who has incredible star power for someone who has only had one major role so far (three if you count Avatar and Titans).

    And he's not Will Smith. Most ridiculous rumor I have ever heard. Even worse than when someone suggesting Megan Fox for freaking Cat Woman last year.
  • derp
    Just a side note... people who dont click the link for the whole story will be under the impression that this is a serious piece of news. I just loaded up on Sam Worthingon stock in HSX when I saw the header only to be seriously dissapointed
  • Kensei
    Titanic 2 will be so epic and JJ directing the Avatar sequel will be bad ass. Can't wait to see the horribly acting Megan Fox as Princess Leia in a most likely horrid and butchered remake of Star Wars.

    Thanks for the laugh though.
  • But... they really are making an Avengers movie. Sam Worthington is getting some big roles. What's wrong with MTV's reasonable hypothesis?

    P.S. Here's the shirt. Nearly sold out, by the looks of it.

  • "What's wrong with MTV's reasonable hypothesis?"

    Its a huge stretch. Not saying Worthington couldn't be cast in Avengers, but to think that there is a connection between him wearing an Avengers tshirt and him being cast in the film adaptation, then I have nothing more to say to you :)
  • andrew
    C'mon dude. It's harmless speculation. It's half the fun! :) You know that, otherwise you wouldn't have posted this gem:

  • Sam worthington wearing a tshirt during an interview is A LOT less substantial than an actress photographed leaving Marvel's film division with a business card and pile of Avengers comics. MTV took a HUGE leap. We love to speculate as much as everyone else, but there needs to be something to it, or it's completely pointless
  • Drelo
    I got distracted with the Megan fox belly...otherwise, great post.
  • Nick1
    Thanks fa lettin me in on this here secret there at the end, I dun thought you'd all been tellings the truths! Made a got gum fool outta me!

    Robert Pattingson was spotted with a Batman T-shirt the other day.

    OH GOD!
  • Stark1288
    Hilarious, especially if you follow some of the non-news news stories MTV always reports.
  • It's totally easy to tell when there are no scoops coming in. Thanks for making me laugh instead of staring at the same stories again. +10 points for Peter.
  • haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
  • HAHAHA, the Titanic 2 picture is the best.
  • I must say that photoshop job is terrible in an awesome way on the Titanic 2 shirt haha
  • filmbuffrich
