Disney starlet was rumored to be up for a role in the all-star superhero film. By James Dinh Demi Lovato Photo: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for PCA Demi Lovato still has her 2011 touring plan , but one gig the teen sensation doesn’t have on her agenda is a starring role in “The Avengers.” Contrary to reports, the 18-year-old singer/actress will not be featured in the film about a team of Marvel superheroes, according to The Hollywood Reporter. THR reports that sources inside Lovato’s and Marvel’s camps are “denying across the board” that the “Camp Rock” star is involved in any way in the all-star comic book adaptation, which is tentatively due in 2012. Part of the difficulty in hiring the actress is that the Joss Whedon-directed film will begin shooting in spring 2011 and the starlet is still undergoing her stay at a medical treatment center for “emotional and physical issues.” Despite the circulating Lovato rumor, Marvel may still be on the lookout for another female actress to join the male-heavy cast. As of now, “The Avengers” superhero lineup includes Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Samuel Jackson (Nick Fury), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), Chris Evans (Captain America), Mark Ruffalo (Hulk) and Chris Hemsworth (Thor). Things have been looking up for the “Sonny With a Chance” star. Not only did the songstress come to an agreement with dancer Alex Welch, whom she allegedly punched before leaving her joint tour with the Jonas Brothers, but the Disney star was also able to spend some time with her family on Christmas Day . She was spotted with her family on the holiday getting food near her treatment facility in Woodridge, Illinois.
