Amadeus Cho in Marvel Movie rumor surfaces again

We covered this here way back on January 6, 2015. Amadeus Cho could end up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Now, Bleeding Cool has picked up on it, which could lead to even bigger movement in the price of the books.
Back on January 6th we wrote:

Chalk this up as a long shot. But Claudia Kim’s character in Avengers Age of Ultron has the last name of Cho. Could this be in relation to one of the smartest people in the Marvel Universe, Amadeus Cho?

Not so much of a long shot any more, it seems.
We quoted this piece from Comicbookmovie.com

It may not be a huge reveal, but at least we now know Claudia Kim is not playing a major character from the comics… or do we? Disney failed to offer Dr. Cho’s first name in the caption of the new Avengers: Age of Ultron image released yesterday (below), but there is one notable character from the Marvel lore that shares that surname. Amadeus Cho has appeared mostly as a supporting character in comics featuring the Avengers, especially Hulk and Hercules. However, given he’s male, and is often portrayed as a teen prodigy, the common surname may just be a coincidence as opposed to a direct reference to that Marvel character; maybe. Anyhow, we still don’t know exactly how “substantial” Claudia Kim’s Dr. Cho role will be, but it now seems likely that she’s one of the four prominent female roles that Joss Whedon referred to back in July. Plus, it was previously reported that Claudia Kim would take part in the action once the villainous Ultron and his big plan to wipe out humanity takes to South Korea in Avengers: Age of Ultron. What do you think?

Bleedingcool ran a Speculator corner column April 11th, mentioning Dr. Cho is Dr. Helen Cho, Amadeus’ mother. Bringing back the news we tipped you off on months ago.
Prices of Amazing Fantasy #15, Amadeus’ first appearance, have since gone up, as well as Amadeus’ second appearance in Incredible Hulk #106.
Dr. Helen Cho’s first appearance is in Incredible Hercules #133.
