Will the spectacular Spider-Man be swinging his way into the upcoming Avengers movie?

That's the rumour following a report in Britain's Radio Times.

An interview with actress – and Logan's Run star – Jenny Agutter has left fanboys salivating at the possibility the Marvel heroes may collide in the upcoming Joss Whedon blockbuster.

In an interview with the magazine, Agutter confirmed she has a role in The Avengers, and though she admits there's little she's allowed to say about the part, the little she has said may have revealed a whole lot.

"I'm sworn to secrecy," Agutter says. "I wasn't allowed a script until I got there, and when I did, I felt like a complete child being on big sets and a huge parking lot full of Winnebagos."

But it's what – or rather, who – was in those Winnebagos that has tongues wagging, as Agutter told the magazine two of those trailers were reserved for Iron Man and Spider-Man.

Whether Agutter was mistaken, or whether she's just let the spider out of the bag remains to be seen. The timing would make sense however, as Spidey is set to launch a whole new series of flicks when Andrew Garfield takes over the role in the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man.
