Captain America 2: News and Speculation - Part 1

[terry78]

Winstead in Smashed is all you need to see to verify any doubts about acting ability and her skill in performing this role. Regardless of whether or not you think she "looks the part".

As for MARY ELIZABETH WINSTEAD I'm sold (sure I'd have loved to have had her as Mary Jane Watson in ASM2) but to have her instead as Sharon Carter is even better.

Oh Jeez.... she would've made a FANTASTIC!! Mary Jane for ASM2. Agreed though that she's mega-talented.

Heh, Lucas Lee and Ramona Flowers together again

I would love Zemo. I just hate the thought of both gorgeous guys hiding their faces under masks or loads of makeup LOL!

But Zemo would rock this world.

Agreed but she most defiantly is right choice for the role , I could totally buy her as the niece of Peggy Carter. The question is are they going to have her as a blonde like in the comics or are they going to leave her as a brunette like her aunt. If so then she is a prefect choice she even has a look that resembles Hayley Atwell.

[Whiskey Tango]

Love Winstead, zero complaints. Make it so.

Sawyer or Jaimie Lannister? Tough call. They're both pretty cool. Wish we knew what role they're up for.

[Chewy]

Based on the names being bandied around I would say Zemo and Crossbones.

[Whiskey Tango]

I just peed in my pants a little.

I'd be okay with them, but I kind of wonder how they'll get WS to fit in with them.

[Chewy]

Or actually maybe *both* Zemos.

[Webfoot Hero]

Winstead kind of came out of left field a bit, but knowing Marvel, they have all sorts of people on their lists. I do question some of Latino Review's stuff because of how they've misreported stuff in the past.

Well Zola experiment on Bucky during his time in captivity before Rogers rescued him. Zemo could have been one of Red Skull's first lieutenants in HYDRA and he was tasked to retrieve valuable intel on the allies while at the same time planting a sub-program into bucky to become a sleeper agent.

A whole heaping lot more of their scoops have been spot-on. If you're referring to the Black Panther thing, Marvel decided to change it after they reported the scoop.

RE: Mary. *Squeals and faints*

Positively no doubt Durand would be Crossbones.

[Webfoot Hero]

I like that MEW is being looked because she's listed at 5'9" (not barely over 5'0"), looks the part of possibly being Peggy's relative and was previously considered for Maria Hill in The Avengers. Only thing I don't know is if she can do a convincing British accent.

That's been one of the complaints that's loudly (and fairly) leveled at using War Machine. We sure don't need more Cap knockoffs like Patriot and US Agent and a host of others.

Been saying this forever when it comes to the MCU. I don't want cheap knock-offs. There's just too many original characters to work with to ever have to go that route.

[chamber-music]

Nikolaj Coster Waldau would be an awesome Baron Zemo

[Crimson King]

Waldau in the MCU would be pretty great. I love me some Sawyer, but Waldau makes for a better villain, IMO.

[BullMcGiveny]

I would bet that Waldau and Holloway are up for two different roles.

Or at least, if Waladau is up for Zemo, then Holloway isn't.

[Chewy]

Waldau as Zemo

Durand as Crossbones

[Silvermoth]

Yeah, I thought Crossbones too.

[Lunar_Wolf]

Gonna Start reading Captain America: Winter Solider later on, can't wait!

Fine, fine... but then can I have Josh Holloway just standing in the background posing all Sawyer-like? I did NOT get enough of him in Ghost Protocol!

I love Marvel casting news so hard!

[MovieMaster]

Waldau is probably playing Aleksander Lukin.

[Joeyjojo72]

What the heck does her height have to do with it?

Anyhoo, Winstead would be fine in the role. As would about a dozen other actresses. Not really worried about it.

That's a good call.

Meh.

I don't really think a dude possessed by the Red Skull fits what with the Red Skull disappearing into space 70 years ago

Nor would I describe Lukin as a "very physical" part

Yeah, it's a weird thing to worry about, but it still won't get as bad as the Tom Hardy thread on the TDKR board.
