The Avengers casting thread

[Dark Raven]

I dont think age would be used to put down any Marvel choices as you said Ruffalo is over 40, RDJ is 47, and I dont think that any of the Ant-Man choice that Ive seen (Jason Bateman, Lee Pace, Simon Baker, what have you) have been under 30

Anyway, I like Tudyk. Just about everytime I see him he's doing good work. That being said when it comes to Ant-Man they should get someone with a little pull. I dont mean an A List star, but someone with a decent sized fan base. Which come to think of it makes my choice of Patrick Wilson lose a lot of weight. But I wouldnt be mad if Tudyk got it though

Yeah, I'm not sure how big a fan base Tudyk has outside of these Whedon shows, which not everyone has seen. Someone like Simon Baker instantly has more charisma for the role and a built-in fan base from the Mentalist. I could see him elevating the role of Pym to something more than his comic counterpart in the same way that RDJ did with Tony Stark.

[Majik1387]

Simon Baker is one of the least charismatic actors I've ever seen in movies I like. :down

Regarding age, I don't think you can use RDJ as a point for long considering they said they were recasting him after IM3.

[Eddie Dean]

Hey guys, Adam Scott as Hank Pym. Thanks.

I loved Chloe Moretz in Kick Ass. Who could she play in The Avengers if she was given a chance to be in the movie?

[MarvelKnight]

I thought Strahovski turned in the best performance on Chuck, tbh. Otherwise I wouldn't be supporting her either, because most of the acting on Chuck, while fun and fitting for the characters and tone of the show, was pretty one-note, imo. But I felt she was one of the few who sold her character as a flesh-and-blood person and could have just as easily fit in on a much more grounded show.

That said, I think Diane Kruger and Abbie Cornish are also great (and more realistic) choices for the role. No idea about Alice Eve, though.

Strahovski could've been another face but I really liked her in Chuck. She was always believable whenever she needed to get a certain emotion across.

Couldn't agree more with your opinions of Strahovski. She had a small part in Killer Elite too which was very believable and nicely done as well.

[cherokeesam]

I loved Chloe Moretz in Kick Ass. Who could she play in The Avengers if she was given a chance to be in the movie?


She's too young to play any of the classic Avengers. If the MCU starts spotlighting some of the more recent entries, you've got a ton of new (young) superheroes showing up for training in titles like Avengers Academy, so I could see her playing someone like Kate Bishop as an alternate Hawkeye, or as Spider-Girl or White Tiger. I don't think Marvel Studios have shown any inclination to go that route, though.

But there *was* a Runaways film in development a few years ago; dunno how far along plans are for its release. If that happens, you'll probably hear Chloe's name come up a lot in casting threads.

[Eddie Dean]

Nice to hear. I'll be interested in seeing how she does with this seemingly darker role she has on the new season of Dexter. Maybe if she displays some range, there will be less people claiming she's too "unproven" as an actress.

[Chewy]

Hopefully they give her a character that's more Trinity and less Colin Hanks' character

But it's been a while since Dexter had a well-written villain

Too true.

[cherokeesam]

Interesting, if left-field, theory; but I agree, I doubt they'd intro Wasp in IM3....I just don't see how she fits there.

[Dark Raven]

Isn't Rebecca Hall playing Dr Maya Hansen?

[cherokeesam]

Isn't Rebecca Hall playing Dr Maya Hansen?


Hall is in IM3; that's all we know so far. They never identified her character, and afaik, she isn't in Wilmington (yet). She could be anyone from Maya Hansen to Bethany Cabe to Whitney Frost.

[Daybreak_st]

Yeah, I'm not sure how big a fan base Tudyk has outside of these Whedon shows, which not everyone has seen. Someone like Simon Baker instantly has more charisma for the role and a built-in fan base from the Mentalist. I could see him elevating the role of Pym to something more than his comic counterpart in the same way that RDJ did with Tony Stark.

Tudyk also played Sonny from I-Robot, so the man has range.

[Dark Raven]

I would love for Bethany Cabe to be in IM3, as she's my favourite Stark girl. However, it almost seems as if Marvel have amalgamated part of her character into Pepper Potts, who serves more or less the same function. Since Stark is in a relationship with Potts, Cabe seems kind of redundant sadly. She could be head of security, but isn't that Happy Hogan's job? The two have never shared the same duty. If Cabe is any kind of love interest, it would mean that she's only temporary since Paltrow is the leading lady.

The only way to have Cabe is if Paltrow stops playing, in which case Cabe would probably take over that role of Stark girl, kind of in the same way as how they're using Gwen Stacy instead of Mary Jane in The Amazing Spider-Man.

I just hope they don't turn Bethany Cabe into any kind of traitor or ruin her character. It's better not to use her than abuse her.

The reason I feel like Janet Van Dyne would work as a supporting character in Iron Man 3 is that the plot features nanotechnology. Janet, a scientist who also helps develop technology that allows a person to shrink/grow, would make sense. Not to mention, it would help pave the way for Ant Man, which Marvel is intent on making.

The latest set report rumors (hearsay) indicate a love triangle "or rectangle," with Pepper apparently getting cozy with Killian (Guy Pearce). It's possible that as a result, or as a cause (chicken or the egg), Tony starts a fling with Hall's character. If that's the case, I'd look for Hall to be Cabe or Whitney Frost, before she'd be Maya Hansen.

Interesting; but I don't think they're going to let Janet debut as The Wasp before Hank Pym debuts. In fact, Joss even mentioned that they originally had Janet in the Avengers script, but wrote her out because he didn't really know how to fit her in. I think that's Joss' way of saying he didn't want to step on Edgar Wright's toes and steal Ant-Man's thunder in the shrinkage department.

[Brian2887]

Honestly, if they introduce her as a nanotech expert, I wouldn't expect her to shrink or do anything Wasp-like. It'd just be an intro to her as a scientist in the Marvel world.

You mean, have Janet Van Dyne essentially replace Maya Hansen from Ellis' Extremis arc?

Well, I....

Other than I'm trying to wrap my head around the idea of Rebecca Hall becoming a gin-u-wine superheroine in future Avenger movies.

What do these three have in common, besides being hotties? They're all of Russian descent, and I think would bring some ethnic authenticity to the character.

But they never used the Russian descent for Natasha Romanoff, instead going for Scarlett Johansson. Any of the above could've been Black Widow and would've looked the part.

But yes, they could use one of them for Wanda, as well as Olga Kurylenko, who should've been Black Widow in the first place.

[Hawkingbird]

I doubt we will see Wanda. They couldn't even get the Skrulls from F4.

.

BTW when you say a younger Wanda, Michelle is 26, which is only 1 year younger than Scarlett Johansson. So that's not like she will be a teenaged Wanda. In that pic she also looks a little like ScarJo herself.

[cherokeesam]

I doubt we will see Wanda. They couldn't even get the Skrulls from F4.

Actually, Feige has specifically stated in different interviews that they can use Wanda *and* Skrulls. They just can't refer to Wanda & Pietro's Magneto or mutant origins, and they can't use the Super Skrull, but the entire Skrull race was never licensed specifically to Fox.

Wait... Wanda is Russian?

[Dark Raven]

Wait... Wanda is Russian?

Not completely sure, but Maximoff sounds Russian doesn't it? Although if it were properly Russian, it should be Maximova, just like Widow's name should be Romanova (which it is in some versions - ie Natalia Romanova). Maximoff is the male form.

I've always thought Wanda was more Romanian or something though. I suppose if she's a gypsy, she could be a Russian gypsy.

[cherokeesam]

Wait... Wanda is Russian?

Transian.
But that's a fictional country, somewhere in the Balkans. Bottom line, it'd be nice for the actress that plays Wanda to be Eastern European.

Not bad. Jessica was British originally anyway.

But they HAVE to keep the sexy red and yellow costume. That is one of the sexiest costumes in comics, so they better not modify it to something more "practical" and less skin tight.

The best way to get the same effect as in the comics is for the actress playing Jessica Drew not to wear a costume at all, but simply to wear body paint, like they do for those Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Models spreads each year where they paint on their bikinis. :woot:

Not a good idea. I like the costume but there's no reason to make it tacky for the same reason you wouldn't make Captain America's costume tacky.

[Majik1387]

I'd wait to see what the actual status of the Maximoff twins is, because as far as I understand it, they're owend by Marvel Studios, but the Magneto conncetion is owned by Fox, and I still don't believe any of the crap that Fox owns the right to mutants.

With that said, no thanks to both your choices.
I got no offers for Pietro, but some for Wanda:

Mila Kunis
Rashida Jones
Michelle Trachtenberg, for a younger Wanda
Decent choices, I'd personally go for more mature looking actresses.

No, the Maximoff's aren't Russian. They're German and of other European descent.

Good choice, but I'd prefer Eliza Dushku or Jordana Brewster to be Spider Woman, and have Blunt be Madame Masque.

No tension at all; at least not with Blunt or Marvel, only another issue with Fox keeping Blunt because of her contract with them to film the failure Gulliver's Travels.
That's like saying Marvel Studios will have tension with Jessica Chastain because she couldn't do Iron Man 3.

Not that horrible snake skin thing. I want Spider-Woman's costume to be nice and smooth. She doesn't need scales on her costume as I think it will spoil her look and make it too busy. Her comic costume is perfect and doesn't need updating or improving upon.

[Majik1387]

Spidey's costume doesn't have scales.

Is that the Hype's new thing? First it was a basketball texture, now it's snake skin? Seems like a drastic change.

Unless Sony gives Spidey to Marvel I doubt we'll ever see Spider-Woman.

[Dark Raven]

Spider-Woman isn't traditionally associated with Spider-Man at all. She's not a spin off but a completely separate character and doesn't occupy even the same world as him, except for when Marvel have done crossovers before. But if we're going by crossovers, then everyone who appeared with Spider-Man in say, Marvel Team-Up would fall under Sony's ownership of Spider-Man.

Do you mean that Sony would on Avengers :huh: and although I agree Spider Woman does have very little to do with Spider Man, bar being in Avengers with him, we all know when the public here Spider Woman, they're going to link it with Spider Woman.

[Dark Raven]

Do you mean that Sony would on Avengers :huh:

I'm saying that since you can link everyone to Spider-Man (since he's Marvel's equivalent of Kevin Bacon) that if you go by that reasoning, then Sony would try to claim ownership of anyone who has teamed up with him, including yes, the Avengers. But of course we all know that this isn't the case with Sony's property rights which simply wouldn't extend that far.


and although I agree Spider Woman does have very little to do with Spider Man, bar being in Avengers with him, we all know when the public here Spider Woman, they're going to link it with Spider Woman.

Yep. Spider-Woman will be linked with Spider-Woman. :cwink:

But seriously though, whether or not the public links Spider-Woman with Spider-Man, that has nothing to do with whether or not Sony actually owns Jessica Drew or any of the other Spider-Women. The only one I could see Sony potentially owning is Spider-Girl (May Parker) since she shares the same costume as Spider-Man and is an actual spin-off from characters in that world. Jessica Drew isn't.

[Hawkingbird]

Heheh, woops. Yes, well I doubt Marvel will buy any movie from another studio. The only way they will get the characters back is if they get Disney to offer enough money to buy the rights to the characters and do reboots.

[Dark Raven]

Heheh, woops. Yes, well I doubt Marvel will buy any movie from another studio. The only way they will get the characters back is if they get Disney to offer enough money to buy the rights to the characters and do reboots.

But the point I'm making is that we don't know if Sony owns Jessica Drew Spider-Woman, especially since she's not part of Peter Parker's world. So Disney/ Marvel Studios might own her already and won't have to pay anything to get her back. Just because she has "Spider" in her name doesn't necessary mean she falls under Sony's umbrella with their ownership of Spider-Man.

The only other Spider character I think Sony would probably own under their Spider-Man contract is Spider-Girl (May Parker) for the reasons I said above. Owning Jessica Drew would extend their contract too far, which would mean then they could try claiming ownership of every other Marvel character who is "associated" with Spider-Man (which means practically everyone), which of course they can't.

[cherokeesam]

Spider-Woman has never been even remotely tied to Peter Parker's story. Sony has no more rights to her than they would to, say, She-Hulk.

[chris moore]

Saw a good suggestion for Mockingbird somewhere - Kaley Cuoco. I reckon she could handle some action and drama if they do a SHIELD spin-off movie or something.

[Majik1387]

Let her stick to tv in that nerd show.

[chris moore]

I dunno - Cobie Smulders did pretty well at the transition from TV comedy

[Majik1387]

Because she has talent, Cuoco doesn't.

[cherokeesam]

Because she has talent, Cuoco doesn't.

Colbie might; but it sure wasn't on display in the Avengers, when she sleepwalked her way through a totally nonessential turn as Maria Hill that nobody gave a damn about.

[Majik1387]

I'll just say my theater disagree's with that assessment. Maria got plenty of cheers in the beginning of the movie during the chase scene, and the girl next to me said Hill was bad ass.

Granted, they had bigger sign of enjoyment and cheers to the rest of the movie, but Hill was not a wasted role an Smulders didn't do any sleepwalking through it; unlike Cuoco's whole Charmed existence.

[DrCosmic]

But that's a fictional country, somewhere in the Balkans. Bottom line, it'd be nice for the actress that plays Wanda to be Eastern European.

Gotcha. It'd be nice, assuming they are also the best actress for the part otherwise, yeah, but it's not something that makes the movie better, or allows her to play the part better (unless, y'know, she was actually a nomadic Romani and she can draw on that).

(She wouldve been a great Emma Frost btw)

If she needs to dye her hair, so be it. Just cast her pronto!!

Ms. Marvel or Mockingbird are obvious choices. In fact, now Im certain - Alice Eve IS Carol Danvers:

Ultron should be CGI and some animatronics, not a man in a suit. Now if you're talking about his voice, that's another matter.

[pr0xyt0xin]

Ultron = Douglas Rain ... "I can't let you do that, Hank."

[Chewy]

Ultron should definitely be a man in a suit. If gives the performance/character a much more tangible feel, and is almost certainly cheaper

They can do it like the Iron Man suits, with CGI "fillings"

http://i.imgur.com/ElQhk.jpg

If they don't want to force the actor to go full-on C-3PO

http://i.imgur.com/peVT4.jpg


Also IIRC the ILM guys were saying it was easier to work with the CGI "fillings", as it improves the actor's range of motion so that a fully CGI double wasn't often necessary, while keeping a large portion of the costume completed for them

[starwolf_oakley]

Nathan Fillion would make a good Simon Williams/Wonder Woman, with Jason Bateman playing Eric Williams/The Grim Reaper.

In my Avengers movie idea, Williams Munitions are picking up the slack since Stark Enterprises got out of the weapons business, building things for SHIELD, America and America's allies using Ionic energy as a power source. Simon is a cheerful movie buff who uses some of his millions to produce fantasy movies (Arkon, Marvel's Conan expy). Eric is dour and has created "reapers" for SHIELD.

Ms. Marvel or Mockingbird are obvious choices. In fact, now Im certain - Alice Eve IS Carol Danvers:

Make it happen Joss!!

edit: okay someone at CBR beat me to it:

Enchantress

[InternetPeople]

Alice Eve is magic

[Majik1387]

I'd rather have Eve as Ms Marvel honestly. I think she's the best actress Marvel can get for the role and that Enchantress has a wider casting pool than Ms Marvel.

[smallville fan]

I was just watching Veronica Mars for nostalgia/re-acquainting myself cause of the movie.

I was thinking Kristen Bell would make a great fit into the universe, either as a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent or as a hero either Ms Marvel or Wasp if you die the hair.

Tahmoh Penikett would be my choice for Simon Williams.

No official word from Kevin Feige, but a tweet from Marvel claims Robert Downey, Jr. will not return as Tony Stark in The Avengers 2! :(

I believe you meant to say too much of a "schlock."

April Fools was yesterday, not today.

[smallville fan]

That was a cruel April Fools Joke they played on us. I swear they keep getting worse every year.

There was even one of Andrew Lincoln wanting to quit The Walking Dead

[Hawkingbird]

We're sensitive nerds, it's not funny :argh:.

[HUMANIMAL]

sorry for that...i found it the second of april and wasnt aware of that joke...guess im not up to date like most of you guys...sorry

[BatsDC]

My choices for new members:

Ms. Marvel - Alice Eve / Yvonne Strahovski
Ant-Man - Bradley Cooper
Wasp - Mary Elizabeth Winstead

Eve would be good for The Enchantress as well, so not sure out of the two for Ms. Marvel.

[CosmicCap]

I might get a lot of crap for this but my Hank Pym choices are Joel McHale, Adam Scott, Chris Hardwick, Raffe Spall, or Ewan Mcgregor

I always liked her for Wasp personally.
why? did yvonne strahovski die?
Despite her being a horrible suggestion, her popularity has yet to die, so no.

I can live with Adam Scott and Ewan McGregor.
