I hope when the film versions of Stark and T'Challa finally meet, it's clear that they are on the same level intellect-wise. It's so odd that this is a Marvel universe without Reed Richards! But it does leave a gap that allows others to fill and shine. If Stark is a "genius billionaire playboy philanthropist," is T'Challa a "Genius billionaire ruler visionary"? There's an intersection for those two but also a great divergence in personality and goals. It'll be interesting to see how T'Challa connects to Stark and Cap as well as the rest.<br /><br />Although I've never been a huge Carol Danvers fan, I like the character and I just hope they get a strong actress, and don't just go for looks. I've always thought Katie Sackhoff pretty one-dimensional, so I'm not hyped about her coming on board. Charlize Theron is interesting and could certainly hold her own against Robert Downey Jr. But I really haven't settled on anyone. I just think it will require someone with some strength, and some bearing -and honestly not some tiny little thing that looks like she'd blow away in a breeze.

His photo on the mock Time cover looks right. I believe he was in a Jackie Robinson movie, if I have the correct actor, and he was quite good.<br /><br />HB and Edo, you thought you were out of touch with actors' and actresses' work, during all of the initial discussion about Katee Sackhoff for the Ms. Marvel role, I was thoroughly confused. I thought, "They want the mother from "Married With Children" as Carol Danvers, what am I missing here"? I had to look it up to figure out that is Katey Sagal and I have no idea who Katee Sackhoff is.

Otherwise, I wasn't aware that Elba gets a lot of roles; besides The Wire, Heimdall, and a few guest spots in TV shows, I've hardly seen him anywhere (I know he also starred in some BBC cop show, but I've never watched that).<br /><br />HB, turnabout's fair play I guess, and my geek credentials are in similar jeopardy: I had to look up Laurie Holden, as I've never watched Walking Dead - although she looked familiar once I saw her picture and remembered she also had that recurring role in X-files. She certainly has the right look, and I think she could probably pull it off quite well, but Sackhoff would still be my first choice.<br />As for Theron - there's just something about her that seems a bit off for a superhero role. To be honest, I think she would work better as a villain, like Deathbird for Captain Marvel, or the Enchantress in the next Thor movie...Edo Bosnarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-55398393481860982302015-06-06T11:44:15.450-05:002015-06-06T11:44:15.450-05:00I looked Katie Sackhoff up (I've. . . never se...I looked Katie Sackhoff up (I've. . . never seen Battlestar Galactica-- do I have to turn in my geek credentials??), and I can't disagree that her age and look are really good. And one would assume she could carry off a character w/ a military background, yeah? To be realistic from a marketing perspective, though, a superhero film w/ a female lead is probably going to need to advantage of having a higher-profile star in the role. And heck-- does Theron have any industry issues that I'm not aware of? Does she have a bad rep?<br /><br />Hmm-- what about Laurie Holden from WALKING DEAD? I love her presence, although she might have a bit more of an innate vulnerability than would work for how we think of Carol. Buuuut- that might also be a good thing, y'know?<br /><br />HBHumanbellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-20215210363536745332015-06-06T10:26:08.025-05:002015-06-06T10:26:08.025-05:00Re: Idris Elba - you can't one black guy playi...Re: Idris Elba - you can't one black guy playing all the meaty roles! :) Give someone else a chance! I know he doesn't get all the roles fans suggest him for, but sometimes it seems like he is the only black actor that anyone remembers. ;)<br /><br />I like Katie Sackoff. I think she can pull it off. <br /><br />I have mixed feelings about Theron - not sure I see her as a superhero, plus I prefer "lower rank" actors in these roles so less baggage.Dr. Oyolahttp://themiddlespaces.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-35771935017891665872015-06-06T10:05:04.428-05:002015-06-06T10:05:04.428-05:00I don't know about Theron; HB makes some good ...I don't know about Theron; HB makes some good points, but for some reason I would rather see the role go to someone else. I love the idea of Katee Sackhoff (although maybe there's a little bit local patriotism involved, since she's originally from my old home state of Oregon).<br />As for T'Challa, I love those graphics, and I'm warming up to this guy Boseman, although I still think Idris Elba would be absolutely perfect for the role (too bad he's already Heimdall).Edo Bosnarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-31923063760022496162015-06-06T06:34:24.469-05:002015-06-06T06:34:24.469-05:00Holy cats-- Charlize Theron would be perfect-! I&...Holy cats-- Charlize Theron would be perfect-! I'm loving everything about that (apparently likely) casting choice. ESPECIALLY the fact that she's a full-grown, nearly 40-year-old woman-- which is of COURSE what Carol Danvers needs to be, since she presumably has already built a career in the military (and possibly elsewhere) before becoming a superhero. And Theron can definitely carry that disciplined, confident, centered quality that you see as a sort of behavioral shorthand in films for characters w/ a military background. Geeze, and her physical bearing is perfect-- tall and very athletically built. Sheesh-- and Marvel gets yet another Academy Award Winner into its stable-!<br /><br />I was a little worried they might pull in Lindsay Lohan, say---- in an attempt to pull another RDjr miracle, y'know?<br /><br />Agh-- gotta go to work!<br /><br />The magazine covers?
