The Avengers casting thread

[Silvermoth]

If you want to know a bit more about Ms Marvel's personality, her miniseries is pretty good but I think her appearences in 'Alias' were better. She was more three dimensional in that but still fun. She was sort of like a superheroine version of Samantha Jones which was pretty cool

[Chris B]

I like the suggestion of Bradley Cooper for Hank Pym.

I was thinking maybe Jason Issacs as the voice of Ultron.

[Majik1387]

Hell no to Cooper as anyone. I'm good with Isaacs though.

[Silvermoth]

I'ld like to hear Paul Bettany as Ultron, just to keep that continuity if they decide to make Ultron into the evil J.A.R.V.I.S (wonder what that stands for anyway).

Then they could bring in Hugh Dancy as The Vision.

[DrCosmic]

I thought of that earlier, if Ultron co-opts JARVIS, then Paul Bettany would get more of a presence.

Angie Harmon wants to play She-Hulk:

I would like to see that. I could see She-Hulk stepping into the Avengers when the Hulk leaves.

[Boom]

Doug Jones for Vision, maybe?

[Majik1387]

Paul Bettany for Vision(I've been saying this for a while). I've never supported him as Joker(and still don't) but I can entirely see him take the role of Vision after a Jarvis/Ultron storyline.

I like Angie Harmon, I don't think I can see her as She-Hulk though; Jennifer Carpenter is the only actress at the moment I can see as She-Hulk. Well, maybe Gina Carano as well.

I don't really like Harmon for She-Hulk. She also seems too old for the character. Maybe about 10 years ago she could've worked, or even 5-6 years ago. She's nearly 40 now. It's good that she's so enthusiastic about the role though, and wearing the skimpy costume.

[Whiskey Tango]

I dunno, she doesn't exactly look like a bog hag and she seems pretty into the idea.

I know the popular young person's conception of a 40 year old is brown, liver-spotted, whithered skin, thin whispy white hair, a big mole on ones nose and crooked yellow teeth but I assure you all that's completely innaccurate.

That's not my perception of a 40 year old at all. But my perception of Jennifer Walters is not Angie Harmon. At least she would be prepared to run around half naked and not insist on making She-Hulk seem more "dignified" or more conservative. Anyone playing She-Hulk better be prepared to get sexy.

[MessiahDecoy123]

The problem is most Hollywood actresses are too scrawny to be believable powerhouse superheroes.

Ah, I'm not sure about that to be honest. That's getting into a bit of Elektra/Catwoman territory.

She Hulk is sassy and cool but she doesn't neccessarily have to be flat out sexy for the same reason you wouldn't say 'the actor who plays Thor will have to be prepared to get sexy'

The problem is most Hollywood actresses are too scrawny to be believable powerhouse superheroes.

But that could be a good thing when it comes to Jen because she's not strong herself until she transforms, like Banner. Once she becomes She Hulk, they can always use motion capture which should be pretty cool in Shulkie's case.

[MessiahDecoy123]

I was referring to Ms Marvel.

Who should at least look toned and powerful.

Most Hollywood blondes are a bag of bones.

[DrCosmic]

Note, the Thor actor *did* have to be sexy, and they made a point of the female characters swooning over him.

Maybe confident would be a better word than sexy. Isn't part of She-Hulk's schtick that Jen Walters is kind of timid and mousy while She Hulk is much more of a self-assured and aggresive personality? The sexiness would be a part of that, I think.

Hmm, I wonder if they'd build a completely new model like Hulk or if she'd look more like the aliens in Avatar. Sort of just manipulating the actual actress. I nhave not looked at any of the avatar fx features to see what Cameron did but I would think somehting similar would be pretty awesome for Jen.

TBH, a CGI Shulkie would work a lot better than a green-painted Orion slave girl.

[Majik1387]

I don't see She-Hulk not being CGI, possibly due to Chyna being in the Avengers porn parody and they painted her there, but Marvel Studios knows better

[Whiskey Tango]

I never once mentioned body paint.
