Might even download it, make a zillion copies and hand them around my town for free so no one has to.

Well that's screwed up.

Will you be popping down to Wiltshire at all?

Ain't It Cool News is reporting the following actors as Marvel's wishlist for the portrayal of Captain America:

Dunno bout any of these.

Mike Vogel maybe but the guy from Gossip Girl? for realz?

I'd like to remind you guys that we have no idea how these guys may approach the character, or how they will be directed. Sometimes bad casting could be seen beforehand but it's not so common any of us has gotten good at it.

IMO

Yeah.

Prime example, Heath Ledger as Joker.

^ Yup.

Let's judge it when we see a trailer/pics from the set.

Even though it was before the internet, there was a HUGE backlash of complaints and mockery for Michael Keaton being cast as Batman.
People were writing into newspapers and the studio and everything. He was known as Mr. Mom.

Then the trailer came out and everyone shut up

Yeah, some people still regard him as the Batman in a way Chris Reeves is the Superman.

Garrett Hedlund is pretty awesome

Gonna be honest. Steve Rogers not only returning, but putting the stripes back on, is infuriating.

Bucky taking over was handled so well. But now, it's like what the fuck was the point?

I've been more angry about how they've handled Norman Osborn for like the second half of dark reign.

On the flip side I absolutely hated the Sentry a year ago but have since changed my mind.

I'm gonna feel this way when Bruce demotes Dick after his little trip.

Dunno, I've always thought the sentry was a really interesting character. Part of what has been great about him, is that every time he starts to feel just a little bit stale, they throw you another curveball, be it his wife trying to kill him, or his methhead origins.

He's gonna die in siege, I think. although I can't imagine how, since not even the Molecule Man could take him out.

Isn't Bucky STILL Captain America even after Steve has returned? He's going to be on The Avengers and everything.

Yeah. That's what is really dumb about it. You have two captain americas.

Well, they could always make him US Agent.

There already is a US Agent.

And US Agent is a douche ;) but I always liked his costume.

Steve might be dressing as Cap just for Siege, after that he lets Bucky be Cap while he does espionage type shit, with Nick Fury or something.

I WILL admit. I am anticipating steve rogers kicking the shit out of norman osborn.

is it weird that US Agent has the same name as someone who committed treason?

No, because no one gives a shit about US Agent.

well of course they don't

I just find it ironic

So what's the siege storyline all about? I haven't really read anything aside since Civil War and World War Hulk?

My, you're behind.

In a brief-ish summary - in the Secret Invasion crossover from 2008 there's a massive Skrull attack on Earth. The Skrulls target Tony Stark and take out virtually every single piece of Stark Industries technology, discrediting him as pretty much useless. At the same time, Norman Osborn shoots the Skull Queen on camera in the final battle of the invasion, making him into something of a hero. The government puts Osborn in charge of SHIELD which ends up getting replaced by a new organisation named HAMMER. All the while he's involved in a secret alliance with a bunch of villains like Doctor Doom, Loki, The Hood and others and uses his power to basically further his own agenda. Siege is basically going to be the heroes finally fighting back against Osborn & co and presumably knocking him out of power.

Basically how DC should have handled President Luthor's 'impeachment' rather than limit it to a Batman/Superman arc (good as it was, but it still should have been a crossover event).

Wolverine 2's script is done and shooting will begin next year. Hugh Jackman is on board of course, as this particular story line was something he wanted to do since X2 dropped.

The first draft of Avengers was also sent to Marvel Studio heads. It must be nergasm-plus reading that one.

Wonder who the villain for that is gonna be. Loki will definitely be the main villain in thor, so I doubt they'll go with him.

I think Ultron is the most feasible. Would say Kang, but he's a little too out there, both in look and origins.

Considering Loki's habit of being a dick on a cosmic scale I'd wager he'll have something to do with whatever motivates a team of superheroes to join up. I think Hulk will factor as an early challenge as well.

Rumor has it that Olivia Munn's cameo in Avengers is more than that, she may have a solid part as Scarlet Witch! But I doubt they'd give a part like that to her, untested as she is - and these Marvel movies are drawing much more credible names, it would be a wasted casting IMO.

Doesn't Fox have a lock hold on Marvel's mutants? Is Scarlet Witch's classic Avengers status some kind of loophole? She is Magneto's daughter... Interesting.

Who's to say the character won't appear in both?

Scarlet Witch isn't really an X-Men character these days - she's far more associated with the Avengers. Can't really see her being signed away to Fox when she's far more likely to factor in to any Avengers films than future X-Men ones.

I always thought that when Rogers came back he would have a role more along the lines of Fury. Just kinda hidden, pulling strings from the shadows, etc.

Gotta fling that sheild just one more time.

Fox.

Yeah....saw that....god damn I...yeah.

*lights a cigerete*

You and me both. :eek:

Any marvel movie after Iron Man 2 will suck
 

As a big marvel fan, I'm sure I was just as outraged as all of you that disney brought marvel. So maybe just the names of the heroes might bring some attention but don't expect a blast from the screen. Disney action movies are ok only if it involves pirates, can you imagine comic book heroes in the caribbean? I thought so. Although the original plans for Captain America are still in tact since it has something to do with nazies. Disney loves that.
