IMDB's review process is a joke, and about the only verification it requires is someone saying "some dude on the internet told me." They only require the rumor of a whisper of a rumor to put something on the website. We've already seen this "review" process in action, given that Sam Elliot was listed as "Thunderbolt" Ross on that link a few days ago...now he's not, but he still made it onto the page. If they wanted to be credible on in-production films, they wouldn't even post "rumored" casting.

Is it still possible that this is an early casting list and may not be the final list? Quite possible, this early in the production schedule. But demonizing IMDB simply because the casting list doesn't make sense to us (when we don't even know the full plot yet) is a little hasty, don't you think?
My intention wasn't to demonize IMDB even if it's often inaccurate on in-production films. I like IMDB just fine. My point was more to temper the expectations of the people that are taking it at face value. Conversely: Why so quick to jump to IMDB's defense? It's a fine resource for movie history. It's a considerably less valuable resource for information on movies that haven't yet hit the screen.

Quote:
And regarding the casting of Yelena: musicians with no prior acting experience are cast in movie and TV roles all the time. Examples include: Will Smith, Ice T, Ice Cube, LL Cool J, Rihanna, Mariah Carrey, Rob Van Winkle (Vanilla Ice), among others. Some turn out to be good at it. Others - not so much.
Sure, but Marvel Studios hasn't made any sort of habit of such casting. They generally aim for the best balance of talent and affordability they can get, and hire y'know...actors for their parts. Again, unless it's a two-second cameo appearance or a non-speaking role (ala Olivia Munn in Iron Man 2), it's almost certainly bologna. I'm betting Yelena isn't even in the movie, and was never planned to be. I could see a General Ross cameo, but Red Hulk? No way. Not in an Iron Man movie that you're already squeezing the Mandarin, whatever subplot War Machine will have, an apparent host of supporting bad guys, and the Extremis plotline into.
