The Avengers (05.04.2012)

[Rambo]

Rocket Raccoon is cool as hell.

Word is Daniel Day Lewis is preparing to audition for the role by breaking into a Wisconsin fishing cabin and staying stuck inside the wallboards for 2 months.

hahahahahahahahahaha

 

[Rambo]

BTW - Did Jr. Mouse just make a funny?

 

[Imhoff]

Seriously. Jr made a damn funny joke.

And somehow, DDL will absolutely shine in the role. Earning himself a 4th Oscar.

Rumor: What is Marvel's Direction for Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver?

[NorCal]

Frikin' perfect. I'm surprised it took so long for D"TR"J to be cast for one of these. He's perfectly cast as a super hero. Not just the build, but the goofy swagger and charisma.

 

[RFX45]

 

[SixOhNine]

Johnson's actually a half decent actor and charismatic as hell, so this makes me happy.

 

[acidboy]

so I guess this puts all those luke cage is in the tv show rumors to rest...

 

[RFX45]

It's been confirmed that that isn't Luke Cage.

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Shuts Down Luke Cage Speculation


Yesterday's debut of the first full trailer for "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." immediately led to fan speculation that the mysterious hooded and super-powered character played by J. August Ricards might be Marvel's Luke Cage. In a new interview with Executive Producer Jeffrey Bell, however, IGN has learned that the character in question is someone else altogether, although his identity remains a secret.

"It’s not the [character] people are talking about," Bell said when asked about the potential of Richards playing Cage. "...Honestly, we were looking for this part, and we just said, 'Look, all our parts are open to all diversity.' So the fact that we have a black dude who is awesome and it's J was just because he was the best actor. It wasn’t like, 'You know who…!'”

So the speculation continues with the hint that the character's ethnicity may not correspond to his comic book counterpart, whoever that might ultimately be.

Yes because Luke Cage is the only black character.

 

[SixOhNine]

His name is Gunn, and he works as a lawyer at Wolfram & Hart.

avengers 3

(Reuters) - Actor Robert Downey Jr., who has gained huge box-office success with his portrayal of Iron Man, has signed on to star as the superhero in the next two installments of the "The Avengers," Marvel Studios said on Thursday.

Downey, 48, was one of the main stars of the 2012 all-star superhero film "The Avengers," which united Iron Man, The Hulk, Captain America, Thor and the Black Widow.

"The Avengers," made by Walt Disney Co's Marvel Studios, became the third highest-grossing film of all time, with $1.5 billion at the worldwide box office.

Downey is expected to be joined by Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo and Scarlett Johansson in reprising their superhero roles for "The Avengers 2."

"The Avengers 2," set for release on May 1, 2015, will be directed by Joss Whedon. Marvel said the film would reunite the superheroes from the first film, as well as introducing Marvel characters never seen in film before.

The three "Iron Man" films starring Downey from 2008 to 2013, have grossed more than $2.4 billion at the worldwide box office.

"Iron Man 3" released last month has become the highest-grossing film of the year, with $1.2 billion in global ticket sales, and the fifth highest-grossing film of all time, Marvel said in a statement.

So, I assume Hemsworth will be getting paid more then?

 

[JilSlander]

So, I assume Hemsworth will be getting paid more then?

Did anyone ever think he wouldn't?

All that commotion about Disney/Marvel not ponying up the $ was just hot air. Downey is probably getting a huge increase, too.
