WELCOME TO THE MARVEL MULTIVERSE -*RIP STAN LEE & Boseman* - XMEN97 release 3/20

I'll concur with Tatum being a good actor (not sure why he was mentioned other than to deflect). I just watched Foxcatcher again :smokin

Chris Hemsworth is a marginally better actor than Liam.

I can't think of a good Liam Hemsworth movie let alone a good acting performance from him.. I'll take Chris hosting SNL over Liam's career right now.

Turns out, the Australian-born actor, 27, wasn't even on the director's original shortlist -- his younger brother Liam Hemsworth was.
After months of searching for his star, director Kenneth Branagh narrowed his list to four actors, with each candidate invited to do a screen test, including Liam, 21, whose credits include the Miley Cyrus movie The Last Song and the upcoming adaptation of The Hunger Games.
Today, Chris laughs about it, telling The Hollywood Reporter he wasn’t in top form when he first met Branagh.
Branagh ultimately went back to the drawing board and decided to re-evaluate some previous contenders, like Chris.
Liam was able to give his sib tips based on his own experiences auditioning. “We’re competitive,” Chris tells THR, “but in the best way.”

Chris also was given a boost by producer Joss Whedon (with whom he worked on the 2011 chiller Cabin in the Woods), who placed a supportive phone call on the actor’s behalf. A video the actor made with his mother also played helped.
So Liam Hemsworth is such a bad actor that his brother who wasn't even originally considered for their short list just got the nod from a well regarded director/producer/writer that they forgot about Liam.

Probably came down to why settle for Liam when we can get this guy who is looks better and has a better build to be Thor.

So yeah nothing I've said has changed, at least not my opinion of the Hemsworth bros. Good thing Liam has that even older brother around to not make him look that bad. He's like a troll in comparison.
I mentioned in here months ago, when we originally were talking about Blunt being Danvers , about sex appeal being the biggest factor for CM's casting and being the main reason I didn't want Blunt in the role. I was labeled as sexist but I knew I wasn't the only one sharing this thought. Nothing against Blunt again, she's an amazing actress but the blond buxom look of Carol could be better suited for another actress. One who married Ryan Reynolds.........and isn't already cast black widow :lol:

Can we take a step back and talk about Ryan Reynolds rap sheet though. How do you marry Scarlett and Blake. Nuts
Just cuz you're not the only one sharing that thought doesn't mean you're not sexist.

Some ppl said the same thing for WW and I find Gadot pretty unattractive given the options for WW.

Sex appeal is not the biggest factor. You sound like an a-hole saying that.
it's not about F-ability at all.... it's about look of the character.
again........
there aren't too many MCU characters who DON'T fit the build of who they are casted to play. only one I can really think of is Maria Hill, (but I love colbie Smulders) I think they should've used a different actress (hell Hemsworth wife Elsa Pataky) would've been a good choice.
but again I like colbie, just doesn't look like Maria hIll to me.

as I said let others actors/actress eat

Hemsworth wasn't wildly popular before thor, they let him eat....
marvel doesn't need big names like blunt
They are making family movies... Kids and most countries overseas could give a care less if a big name was playing these roles or not
You're view on this is all ****** up to me. Bringing up kids and other countries and it's a family movie is irrelevant. They're not good points at all.

You're so focused on comic book depictions it makes me wonder how many different artist styles you've seen depict these characters. You keep talking about Carol Danvers like she's built like She-Hulk and she is not. You post some art and it's pretty clear you're seeing something different or your perspective is radically twisted when it comes to adapting the look to film.

This whole pick an unknown actor aint gonna fly either. Hemsworth got tapped for the role because these were the early MCU movies when they weren't sure it'd be a success and quite frankly it's not like the Thor movies are great, some would say they're barely good. You don't go looking for A-list Brad Pitt when you're not sure the first movie will even make enough money to see a profit. You can't keep citing almost 10 year old examples and ignore the casting practices of the MCU TODAY.

You keep talking about fit the build but there really isn't any build to fit that's so strict. It's not some rigid form that actors work to get in to. I'd say you're wrong about Cobie/Maria and simply point to Rhodey/War Machine by both Cheadle and Howard, neither look like the brother but Cheadle makes it work. Same goes for Renner looking like Hawkeye. There are better choices.

Moot point though cuz if Blunt ends up being Carol, Carol gonna end up looking more like her in the comics anyway.
 
the girl from the new mission impossible movie would be able to pull off cap marvel

can pull of being smart, sexy and kicking ***
 
She's a garbage actress though man :lol:,if she sucked in GL what makes you think she could hold her own in the MCU besides her looks?

Personally,acting skills >>> looks at this point for their first main superheroine for me and Blunt isn't even bad looking :lol:

Was she good in gossip girls?
Not really :lol: Fit the air head blond trying to change her ways for the most part. The rest of the cast began to shine more as it went on though. Meester was better though.

Chuck ended up being the douchey star.
 
It's pretty simple: Marvel is NOT going to pick an unknown for their first female-led film.

Look at it from the studio's perspective: you have $50M+ funding to make this a hit; you're not taking any chances to pick a chick who looks the role but can't carry a film or has no prior hype/credentials.

Marvel could've taken chances back then with Hemsworth, but now they cannot afford to nor will they put themselves in the position to take an L. I wonder why the logic doesn't apply to Cumberbatch, Boseman, and whoever else got cast as leads in Phase 3. Even the kid who got cast as Spiderman has a solid background. Marvel has rarely, if ever, done wrong with casting.

Why should CM be any different?

Marvel is at a point now where they can basically do no wrong....
We literally just had a discussion about how Marvel is not letting their villians truly shine...
it's been about the heroes obviously

The script they write up will have her shining regardless of who the actress is.

They took paul rudd and made antman one of the better Marvel movies to date.
Go back to about a year ago or even 6 months ago and look at how many people (this thread including) complained about Paul Rudd and antman in general being adapted to the movies (I hate antman in the comics , didn't know so much about scott lang)
I love paul rudd. and Marvel made that work

Marvel doesn't need huge names period. Marvel sells it self (especially at this point). The story will have cameos, it will be fine with or without Blunt.
Don't make me out to seem like I hate blunt. I LOVE HER. just don't see her as captain marvel (and this is coming from someone who is a big fan of Carol Danvers)

Master Zik Master Zik
I got mad love for you man, but you gotta stop making it seem like you're the only one who reads comics around here.
as you said there are different adaptations of these comics. and in the comics if blunt was to become the actress. they may start molding her to look more blunt like. but ................doubtful
CM is the WW of Marvel/Avengers. She's been long standing in the Marvel world. they're not going to break her down to blunts stature.

Stop talking. Honestly, Blake lively is the ugliest girl ever mentioned in this thread and to my memory the least talented actress.

Blunt is a gawdess

I legit can't tell if he was trolling or not but given his other opinions itt I doubt it :rofl:.


There's no reason Blunt can't pull off CM,her range is also far superior to any of the other rumored names.

Just found out how to find out who posts in this thread the most.

Wow.

Anyway, sounds like Emily Blunt is a lock. I'm not mad. Was hoping it was Yvonne, but I'm not mad.

I'm not doing that :lol:

I'm just disagreeing with your view about there being this one way to adapt Captain Marvel where you're using art from the comics to support your argument. It's like you're purposely ignoring stuff

She doesn't (and really isn't ) have to be this built busty woman you're painting her out to be.

The way you talking is like Fassbender looks exactly like Magneto or McAvoy resembles Xavier or that the MCU somehow has managed to have all their actors look exactly like their comic counterparts and Blunt as CM would be ending a streak. As if Benedict Cumberbatch really looks like Dr. Strange.


as you said there are different adaptations of these comics. and in the comics if blunt was to become the actress. they may start molding her to look more blunt like. but ................doubtful
Highly likely actually. Word to Star-Lord looking more like Chris Pratt.
CM is the WW of Marvel/Avengers.
Not really but they've been trying to make her that the past few years and even more so with the movie.

She's been long standing in the Marvel world. they're not going to break her down to blunts stature.
:lol: You say this as if Marvel hasn't already done this with other even longer standing characters.

Also what I've been saying is Carol Danvers pretty much is already Blunt's "stature" (even though I wasn't arguing that). I've been keeping up with the solo. She's not some tall muscle bound force of nature. She looks like and in shape white chick that changes her hairstyle a lot. You're saying Blunt can't be that? I'd say you're wrong.
Just found out how to find out who posts in this thread the most.

Wow.
I haven't checked it in a while but damb! :lol:

And labeled one of the guys that argues a lot in these threads. I know I'm top 5 but there's a huge gap between 4 & 5. RFX does get a slight pass cuz he spends a lot of time posting info/rumors/announcements in here.
