News On Future Films Based on Comics/Paranormal/Sci-Fi

Why cast a 40 year old Bruce tho? To start no less.

If they want to use him for 2-3 different movies after, be it solo projects or JLA, etc, he's gettin close to 50 by then. Why pin themselves in with something like that?

I'd start early 30's at the latest. 32-33 is the range I'd want to be in for 2015, by the time you reach 2020 movies he's still under 40 and useable.

Not sure I can say the same for 45-46. *shrugs*
 
I think some NT'ers mentioned him earlier, but I'm starting to see it. I think it could work. (I'm still in the Christian Bale returning camp though.)

Batman and his movie continuity is gonna be like the Hulk's since instead of a solo movie where they could just James Bond in a new actor and keep going they're throwing him in to someone else's movie first. Not that much of a problem, they don't need to do an origin again.

As for Whedon, I'm guessing he's the kind of guy that can't describe or explain what he plans to do as well as he executes/directs it. To me those comments seemed to use a lot of the wrong words for Ultron. I don't care if he makes Wanda an actual witch though. Be a nice early way of bringing in magic in to the MCU.
 
Yeah I am not really sure what they are trying to accomplish with an older Bruce though it is a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to these rumors. Some reports have dudes in their 40's being considered then there are the Ryan Goslings and Orlando Bloom reports. We really just have to wait who is casted because the reports are all over the place.
 
Still hoping Jeffrey Dean Morgan is still in the race for that role. Certainly Karl Urban is still one of my top choices but his new TV show could halt those discussions.

Batman has to be older. Look at Tony Stark in the Avengers. He's the oldest but he's an established, smart, proven character that leads the team. Most likely Clark will lead the team to charge into battle but Bruce will be the once calling all the plays.

I am not sure I generally agree with that, Supes and Bats are supposed to be of the same age or close to it. Supes was 33 in MoS? And the next film is right after MoS as they spoke about repercussions making an impact so it can't be 10 years later. We have to assume Supes will be 34-35 in the sequel. Also, as CP said, in the long run, you just need a younger guy so you don't keep casting new actors every 5 years.

RDJ is different, he can play someone younger than his age. I mean he is almost 50 but in IM3, he is probably what? later 30's, early 40s? In IM1 he is probably late 20's/early 30s? In the reports for the SvB, they are saying they want someone that looks late 30s/early 40s iirc, so that is different from an old guy playing someone younger like RDJ did.

I get what you are saying and I can get on board with Stark creating him and getting a cliche robot mentality that tries to take over because humans are flawed or whatever but Whedon is also stripping him of his power to make the film less "magical" because Scarlet Witch is in it? There is already Thor and the Chitauri with Thanos and Ultron really is just a robot and power is more technology so I don't really think he needed to be toned down or grounded.

I'd prefer if somehow the guys behind the scenes of shield created him, the guys on the screens fury had to answer to.. Just like how they didn't completely stand behind fury and the idea of the avengers.. And then launched the nuke at the end of the movie..

Then you have how they acted at the end of avengers when fury told them about giving thor the cube and Loki.. And when fury said the avengers where going their own way..

It was shown in avengers that shield was collecting tech and building weapons.. What if they built this unstoppable machine with the mindset that they could control it..

What if they took Tony's AI intelligence (jarvis) when they had access to his house (iron man2).. And Colston was able to override Jarvis in avengers..

I can't see tony creating something he wouldn't be able to control or eventually create something better

Don't even remind me. When RDJ leaves, guaranteed $150M dollars less revenue in the box office (but it will still be one of the highest grossing films of all time). RDJ can't leave. The Marvel Universe NEEDS him. Seriously.... The first Iron Man didnt even have a script. It pretty much relied on other actors being able to keep up with him. HE IS TONY STARK.

But I thought they could be a large age difference between Superman and Batman. I watched The Dark Knight Returns and it looked like Superman/Kryptonians (in a yellow star system) ages like Wolverine. If he is meant to age then they did a really bad job of showing that. Especially with the line "now you know what it feels like to deal with your own mortality".

I understand that the old superman in the comics is Kal-L of Earth 2 while the young superman is Kal-El of Earth 1 so a young supes and old bats makes sense to me.


EDIT: TL:DR
Batman came out of retirement while superman looked unaged

Supes doesn't age as bad but being about the same age at early to mid-30s, they should look practically the same.

You should only be able to tell the difference when they are really, really old like TDKR. Does that make sense? If they were making a direct TDKR adaptation (which they aren't) then the age difference can be apparent but they can't use Cavill because he is too young.

Also, look at all the other comics/animation of them together while in their prime, can you tell a giant age difference between the two? No because in their prime, the should both look about the same if they are indeed close to each others age.

Also, Cavill can already pass as a mid-20's guy (turned 30 this year) so to get a much older Batman as going to be similar to Amy Adams being a MILF next to Cavill.

I'm really not that worried.

All you would need is another really good actor with the right personality and charisma. To me Iron Man made RDJR a huge star just as much as he boosted that franchise. Add in a change of tone for movies and I think you can get back to a billi with the same execution and buildup they've shown already
 
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy already has its Star-Lord, its Gamora, its Drax, and its Groot. Now it may have found the final piece of its superhero puzzle.

According to a new report, Bradley Cooper has been offered the role of Rocket Raccoon in the superhero flick. Whether he’ll accept, however, remains to be seen. More details after the jump.

Latino Review broke the big news, based on information from their sources in England. Their story indicates only that Cooper has been offered the part, not that he’s accepted it or sealed the deal. So at this point, he’s still not a lock for the part.

Fans have been speculating on who would voice Rocket Raccoon for quite some time. Director James Gunn said in July that the announcements could be made as early as “tomorrow, next week-ish,” but clearly we’ve been waiting longer than that.

Gunn has previously described Rocket Raccoon as a “mangled little beast” who serves as “the heart of the movie.” In a separate interview, he explained his vision for the character:

It’s about creating a character that’s a little animal that’s taken and experimented on, pulled apart and put back together again and implanted with cybernetics. He’s half machine and half raccoon and he’s a little gnarled, miserable pretty angry creature because there’s nothing else like him and that’s not easy to be.

If Cooper signs on, he’ll be joining a very exciting cast that includes Chris Pratt as Peter Quill a.k.a. Star-Lord, Zoe Saldana (Cooper’s ex and The Words co-star) as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer, and Vin Diesel as Groot.

John C. Reilly, Glenn Close, Karen Gillan, Michael Rooker, Ophelia Lovibond, Djimon Hounsou, Lee Pace, and Benicio Del Toro are also set to star.

But first, Cooper will have to clear some room in his very crowded schedule. Among his upcoming gigs are Susanne Bier’s Serena, David O. Russell’s American Hustle, an untitled Cameron Crowe project, and American Sniper, which he’s producing. Guardians of the Galaxy is shooting now for release on August 1, 2014.

^ I thought they said Rocket would have an English accent?

That would be weird for Cooper to take that roll. He's a leading man. Even if its just voicing, I would think he would choose someone else to play in the Marvel universe.
 
They should have gotten Mark Hammill, someone who actually does voice acting. Then again they also got Vin to play Groot so who knows.
 
Vin diesel as groot is one of the few Avengers Cinematic universe cast i dont agree with. I just dont like when voices are too recognizable. It takes away from the character imo. Bradley cooper gets the pass because his voice doesnt slap you in the face.

I always imagined groot to have the voice of a guy just learning english. Something like e.t. But not really. i always imagined rocket to have a raspy voice.

Vin was great in Iron Giant. Plus from what I've read in the comics, Groot doesn't say much.
 
But all Vin is going to say is probably "I am Groot!!!" :lol:

Plus he did really well as the Iron Giant, you couldn't even tell it is him.

You are right groot doesnt say much at all. Just "I am groot"

I didnt know that was him in the Iron Giant. I guess i retract my statement.

In the Ultimate Spider Man episode that the GotG was on, Groot had actual dialogue other than I am Groot. This is the version they're going with imo.

I kind of hope you are right... They won't do it justice if they try to do with the story that MOS had....

At the Comic Con panel it's not going to be a TDKReturns movie but more like inspired by the conflict between Supes and Bats.

Still would like to see a harden, give no damns Batman that Frank Miller always has done. The "God Damn" Batman he had in Allstar Batman & Robin would be a nice touch.
:lol:
