Are they for real? Aside from the look (which I disagree with), it's also a huge under-casting as far as name goes.
With Ed Norton and Robert Downey Jr. playing the Avengers so far, they've really been focusing on gettting great actors with reputations for being such. They have gone "cool" with their heroes, casting actors with cult followings. The types that fall into the "favorite actor" category for young movie fans. To cast a relative unknown seems a bit risky for a superhero movie in general, where the title character in effect carries the film and the franchise. Never really seen something like this. Even the most low-key superheroes are usually casted with star-power in mind. I'm not cricizing his competence as an actor, since that is yet to be seen. It just seems like a huge fuck-up from all other standpoints. I was really hoping for Daniel Craig myself. |

and with the success of Trek, I wouldn't have ruled out Chris Pine as a Captain America possibility.
Now I would though. It might have been cool to see Pine take a big leader role, fresh off the success of Star Trek, surrounded by a cast of favorites. It would be a big launching pad for what could be a new "it" actor. |

To be honest tho, out of all the avengers, thor probably requires the least amount of acting talent.
Just needs to be able to scream, "I SAY THEE, NAY!", and swing his big hammer around. Literally, his hammer. Not his penis, like you were probably thinking. |

Yea but does this guy look like an intimidating Norse warrior who's been through hell? He definitely isn't rough and tough

Verdict is still out on how the Avengers movie goes anyways. Are the actors thus far locked for it?
I just get a feeling that it could fall through, or fall apart. There are a lot of variables in a long road to doing something that's never really been done before. Writing a script that includes that many characters that is actually good is the first obstacle. Picking the right director is the second. Satisfying all the egos involved is possibly the biggest hurdle and whatever the budget is will likely be hard on production. They may have to cut corners. The first mistake they have made is hiring Joe Johnston to direct the launch movie for the whole thing, setting up the lead character. Verdict is still out on how well this kid and Kenneth Branagh can do their job. And the casting of Captain America will be a big factor. |

I don't know. Having him swing his hammer and yell "I SAY THEE, NAY" without it being unintentionally hilarious is sort of critical. If the actor in question can't sit you down and make you take his being a Norse thunder god seriously... well, it's going to fall on its face, and hard.

Tyrese has been approached to do Luke Cage for Marvel Pictures, possibly for the Captain America film. |

Strange, I thought the Cap film was meant to be almost entirely set in WW2.

They're saying possibly because of whatever year Marvel Films told him about projects. I'm guessing he's actually been approached about The Avengers.

Reynolds Dead Serious About Deadpool:
Ryan Reynolds says early discussions with the studio are leaving him confident that they want the Deadpool solo film to be as close to the comic-book material as possible. He adds, "I will husk-fuck a herd of cattle to bring Wade Wilson to life as the real deal." And no, I don't know what that means either. Is it a corn thing? And he adds that there's no reason that a Deadpool movie would need to have much connection with the Wolverine movie, where he got decapitated. The biggest villain in a Deadpool movie will always be Deadpool, Reynolds says, and the movie should be pop-savvy and self-aware, like the comics.

Yeah that be the greatest thing ever!!! Though Deadpool didn't get hardly any screentime in Wolverine (where he was speaking anyway), I thought Reynolds was wonderful. The "fingernails of a bag lady" and "ok, people are dead" lines cracked me up.
Also, if it was self-aware like the comics would be freakin' awesome! There should be a cameo from someone so Deadpool could say something like "didn't I kill you in that other guys movie?" or something like that. |

It probably will be.... since in the comics didnt he go through a long period of time with inactivity before he joined the avengers. Wasnt he frozen or some shit? Im not sure, but they could easily use that in the avengers movie

Yeah, that's what everyone was assuming. But Luke Cage being involved in the Cap film is what's confusng, as he is a modern age character.
