I didn't mean that, in fact, I meant the contrary. His husband, Alexis Denisof, has already been casted, and she had enough influence in Whedon to make him cast Cobie Smulders (of course, she had to earn the role in auditions, but that was a plus).

Hannigan wont't be Captain Marvel, but maybe a supporting role in one of Whedon's movies or in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D would be great, specially now that she isn't committed to HIMYM anymore
