Munn, who has a regular role on NBC’s midseason comedy Perfect Couples, will play an impossibly cool, smart, and pretty CIA agent who intimidates and schools Chuck and Morgan in the season 4 premiere on Sept. 20. That just so happens to be the same episode that features a guest turn by iconic Rocky IV villain Dolph Lundgren.

In other Chuck casting news, the show is looking for a real-life supermodel to play a dangerous, sexy, and kick-ass supermodel in this season’s second episode, titled “Chuck vs. the Suitcase.” Got casting tips? Post ‘em below! And while you’re at it, share your thoughts on Munn on Chuck!

    Wow, I guess NBC/”Chuck” isn’t saving any news for Comic-Con. I feel sorry for those going there expecting gobs of news.

    • Kate

      Well, you still have the big casting news if that is ready yet of Chuck’s mom.

      • Catarina

        WE NEED SOME MOMMA B INFORMATION!!!

      • Cheryl D

        @HELLO – YOU ARE SPAM! GO AWAY!!!

      • Ronnie S

        @HELLO – If you are going to spam, could you at least do it correctly? (read: “Sadly, my boyfriend and I”)

      • Chris

        @Ronnie S Just a heads up, you can use “someone and me” in english sentance structure. It’s perfectly correct. It isn’t in traditional british english but you can split hairs over things more important probably…

      • Dorkophile

        Chris, you are a moron and 100% wrong. Ronnie, your grammar is correct, however I think the spammer probably likes to target idiots and vulnerable tweens who don’t know any better so it was probably intentionally poor grammar. Or am I giving them too much credit?

      • RT

        @ Chris – Your grasp of English diction and “sentance” structure is clearly lacking. Otherwise, you would know that “someone and me” does not work correctly in the sentence as originally written. The rule is that if you remove the “someone and” section, the sentence must be able to structurally stand as a valid sentence. So, getting back to the original sentence, Ronnie S’ correction is indeed correct. For example, “Sadly, I broke up a month ago.” can stand alone as a sentence, while “Sadly, me broke up a month ago.” clearly cannot be construed as a grammatically correct sentence.

        Finally, for future reference, “british” and “english” are both proper nouns and should always be capitalized.

        Chris = pwned!

    • Joe

      BRING BACK KRISTIN KREUK!!!!!!!!!

      • Wickeddoll

        Gawd, as much as I liked her on Smallville, her character on Chuck was amazingly boring. I thought she’d turn out to be a spy herself, but nope, just a pretty, naive girl…oh wait, that’s what she was on SV.

      • raynabayna

        Kristen Kreuk… definitley needs to come back!!!! maybe halle berry, she would be a good kick ass spy!

      • fan

        Josh Schwartz,if you read this, BRING BACK KRISTIN KREUK!
        GOT THAT!

    • D

      Get Cara from Legend of the Seeker. She would be one hot badass villain.

    • Wednesday

      I am leaning towards Maggie Q myself. She is hot and has the martial arts chops to really make for some great fight scenes!

      • Nick

        She’s a little busy with Nikita

  • Jen E.

    I love Olivia on TDS and of course, I love Chuck, so two very enthusiastic thumbs up!

    • Jeremy

      I just want to say welcome to the Olivia fan club. I’ve been watching her on Attack of the Show for years. She is funny of TDS, but she saves her best stuff for the AOTS fans.

      • Jen E.

        I will definitely check that out, thanks for the heads-up! :)

      • AcaseofGeo

        Chuck? Is this show still on? Wasn’t it cancelled years ago? Talk about non-relevant news.

      • Ron McHale

        AcaseofDouche, dude, you know damn well Chuck is on, quit being a toilet bowl

  • Rebecca

    Milla Jovavich

    • savetheoc

      Agreed. Milla Jovavich is sexy!

    • darclyte

      I agree. I’d also like to see Beth Ostrosky Stern as that has the possibility of bringing in many of Howard’s fans.

      • topoopon

        Isn’t Howard Stern retired?

      • D

        SMART! He would advertise the heck out of it too.FOR FREE

      • Dave

        I’m with you on that one, Beth will be fine in that role

      • Chad

        Beth is hot, but not Supermodel hot. Also, Howard will still be on summer vacation the weeks leading up to Chuck’s second episode of the season, so forget about the extra promotion for one of the most kick-ass shows on the air. Adriana Lima or Miranda Kerr are the superest Supermodels right now, but I don’t know if they could act a lick.

    • ChuckFan

      Milla would be amazing! But pretty pricey.

  • Kath (GMMR)

    As long as it’s not another super-sexy spy coming in between Chuck and Sarah I’m all good.

    I really like Munn and I’m looking forward to seeing her in CHUCK’s world.

    Hoping to see Karina come back next season.

    • Ambaryerno

      Agreed. PLEASE no more love tetrahedrons!

      • Nerwen Aldarion

        Agreed, I’m currently watching Season 3 of Chuck (brand new viewer here) and I couldn’t help but groan over the Shaw, Chuck, Sarah and Hannah plotline

      • Alia

        Welcome to the fold, Nerwen! Don’t worry, the geometry gets resolved eventually.

      • Nerwen Aldarion

        Thanks Alia! Actually I just finished Chuck vs the Tic Tac (might be my favorite episode yet, Casey is my favorite character) But I’m looking forward to getting rid of Shaw, at least HAnnah is gone now.

        After watching the CRAZY campaigns to Save Chuck well at least I know what all the fuss was about!

      • David

        Agreed I loathe love triangles but I’m expecting them to try and bust up C/S basically because the writers lack imagination.
        Sorry had to be said

    • Tim (@rural_juror)

      Sometimes my inner Mean Girl feels like saying, “Stop trying to make Olivia Munn happen, she’s so not going to happen!”

      • Nolan

        Sorry, she already happened.

      • reinx

        and is going to keep happening for a long time…her star is going nowhere but up…

      • RickC

        I’m all for Olivia’s star still rising. Must be a girl or girlie boy that thinks she is so yesterday. She makes a lot of things rise…and she brings a super sexy, humorous and intelligent attitude to everything she does. And before somebody tells us Olivia Munn fans to get a life…I’m retired, so I certainly have had a life long before you (the hypothetical Olivia naysayer) were born. That hot babe has renewed my life multiple times if you catch my drift…! If you haven’t seen her in a bikini or Princess Leia outfit–google her videos. You’ll be glad you did.

      • dan

        Agreed!!

    • Villy

      I agree wholeheartedly! It was painful for me to get through most of season 3 (Until Honeymooners of course). And as much as I love Chuck, I can’t watch anymore separation of Chuck/Sarah… if there’s a love triangle- I’m gone. :(

      • cb

        Not a true fan then. As much as I feel the same way you don’t stop watching it because of that.

      • Chuckles23

        Season three was by far the worst season of Chuck. It’s utter nonsense to say that someone is not a fan if he/she critizes the show or episodes of the show. If you like everything that is Chuck simply because it’s Chuck related, than you’re not a fan but a sheep!

    • Meg

      I really, really hope that won’t happen, and I don’t think it will, since they just finally got together for real and good. I think the secrets Chuck seems likely to keep from Sarah about how he is spending his time this upcoming season will be enough drama for them for now.

      • cb

        I know he didn’t tell sarah or take her with him but I think he will tell her. He’s an idiot if he doesn’t keep being honest with her.

    • Kenneth

      Agreed. I just started watching Chuck a couple months ago and I really like it, but the constant flipping back and forth between Chuck & Sarah can/can’t be together got old a couple season ago.

  • Kazmaran

    I don’t really know her but she looks hot in the photo :)

  • Starleena

    Resident Evil’s Milla Jovovich

  • operaj

    Really not an Olivia Munn fan… she seriously gets on my nerves

    • Joe

      Me too! Hopefully she’s a villain and Sarah gets to kick her ass

    • pop

      me three.

    • DUSTIN

      welp, you guys suck. And have no weiners.

      • dan

        dont see the appeal.Shes average looking and is very unfunny on the daily show

    • fliplip219

      who ever is not a fan of OLIVIA MUNN, regardless if she talks weird, or acts weird, one thing is for sure…….no man on earth would kick her outta bed.

  • m

    AOTS!!!!! Woohoo getting some love for g4

  • Justin

    Brooklyn Decker for sure!

    • Sarah

      She was already on Chuck.

      • D

        When?

      • Alia

        I missed that, too, and I’ve seen every episode. When was she on?

    • Jeff

      She was on in Season 2 – Chuck Versus the Beefcake.

  • bamalam

    So…she’s been on The Daily Show a few times…but Attack of the Show on G4 for years…and yet she is known as the Daily Show correspondant…not really a gripe in the big scene…but really!?

    • Meg

      Well, not to discount her role on AOTS, and the attention it brought her, but it’s just that thousands more people watch the Daily Show, so more people are going to know her from that now.

  • Adrian Kim

    January Jones!!! Olga Kurylenko!!!! :D

  • GimplyGump ☺

    Naomi Campbell or Hedi Klum

    • Catarina

      Oh, come on!! Are we still in the nineties?

      Selita Ebanks or Adriana Lima.

      • graciie

        LOL, and while we’re at it … miranda kerr, gisele bundchen, karolina kurkova, doetzen kroes, alessandro ambrosia .. and other VS or former VS angels

  • Barney Fife

    I can’t believe this awful show is getting a 4th season

    • Jeremy

      I can’t believe you took the ime to comment on a story about such an awful show!!

      • Jeremy

        oops *time

      • Sam

        I can’t believe the same person would change his name two times in a row to make it seem like he has a following. If you don’t like the show what the hell are you doing here!!

    • Louis

      I can’t believe your so dumb. This show is the greatest. It should be put on every single channel all the time just to make you angry.

    • Pitt

      Mayberry must be extra slow today if you have time to go commenting about awful shows, Barney.

    • Timothy

      Paging Andy… Please tell your deputy to shut his mouth

  • Kay Lhota

    Wow, this is great to hear about the upcoming “Chuck” episodes, and casting news. This makes September something to absolutely look forward to! Meanwhile, let’s all hope that the Lords of the Nielsen Meters finally realize what a delightful series “Chuck” is, and join us in watching Monday nights on NBC.

  • Chris

    Never been a big fan of Chuck, but I have to watch the Olivia Munn episode.

    • Jello

      Try watching it you won’t be disappointed. Who knows? you might get hooked. ;)
