Is Eva Longoria (Parker, I've been told) about to suit up as a Marvel superhero? This snapshot from FlawedHollywood of the Desperate Housewives star leaving a building carrying a stack of comics could mean many things. Maybe she's secretly a comic book fan.

But it's not any ol' building, and it's not any ol' stack of comics. This picture was taken at the Marvel Comics office in Beverly Hills, and closer look reveal that she's carrying Avengers comics. Seeing how they're trying to make an Avengers movie in 2011... It's not hard to put two and two together.

The question is, who's she going to play? That's a little hard to guess at this point. A likely guess is Janet Pym aka The Wasp, wife of the first Ant-Man Hank Pym, because they're doing an Ant-Man movie with Edgar Wright first, and remembering Marvel's wish for their movies to cross over one another, it's also likely that they would cast her now as Janet for Ant-Man while also preparing her to be included in Avengers.

Do you think she can play a superhero / abused wife convincingly?
