Felicity Jones - Who is she?

[M-2]

I would have to say Black Cat.. Just because i love the character...

But truthfully, I think she might just be Julia Carpenter.. Thats Right SPIDER-WOMAN! LoL im just kidding, but i hope that they do try and bring in Madame Web and make Spider-Man a little more fantastical.

Compared to other Comic Book films coming out over the next 3 years Spider-Man 2 still seems pretty bland...

He was awesome in the role but since this is a new version of Spider-man they need to have a new creative team to make it happen and yes, this also refers to the actors.

It'll be difficult to replace JK and no matter who they get and no matter how well he does, the comparisons will never end.

Edit: Jones looks like a Betty to me.

People said the same thing about Jack Nicholson's Joker, "How could anyone do any better?" And Mark Hamill and Heath Ledger proved those people wrong.

I think there are many talented actors out there who could play Jonah just as good, if not, better.

[Vid Electricz]

Not better, just differently. Simmons was excellent, but personally, I'd love to see someone like Bryan Cranston or Hugh Laurie give their own spin to the character.

Agreed. Though I want Bryan Cranston, Jason Isaacs, or Ralph Fiennes for Green Goblin if Michael Massee is replaced or doesn't return. I've got my own picks for J. Jonah Jameson:

Stephen Lang
R. Lee Ermey
Hugh Laurie
Frank Langella

Short-List:
Sam Elliot
William H. Macy

[Goran]

I'd pick Hugh Laurie from your list! He's proven that he's able to portray an a$$hole boss before

Isaccs would be great for Norman actually.

Macy is an inspired choice also. I don't think I've seen him in a role like Jameson.

Langella is excellent but I doubt he'd do it as he already played an iconic newpaper editor in another superhero movie I'd rather not talk about

[Mrpaul]

Some people wanted her as MJ, will be interesting to see who she'll play

[NinjaTurtleFan]

Clancy Brown or Ron Perlman wouldn't be bad Jonahs either.

Nope
Why change something which isnt broken?

I never thought that about Nicholson,I always knew there was room for improvement

Also things are different in case of say a Hero or Villian or the Lead female character.
Changing Simmons is hardly going to changing the tone or anything

Too much JJJ talk.

At least it's not Batman talk this time! :P

I apologize for the JJ discussion but it'd be nice to at least announce who Felicity will be. It's like "SIN CITY 2" right now... Robert Rodriguez keeps gathering up different actors for roles but they're undisclosed or top-secret. I'd rather know who is playing who then being left in the dark.

If she's Betty Brant then a lot of these people on here thinking this movie is going to be "villain overkill" will rest a little easier, but if she's Black Cat I can see these anti-Marc Webb folks' enmity will grow even more. Personally, I still say and believe that there were some poor editing choices in "ASM" but it's still a well-scripted, acted, and directed comic book movie. I still think "Spider-Man 3" is the worse of the worse because you could tell there were too many cooks in the kitchen adding in last-minute ingredients; too much studio intrusion and meddling and that's why the movie failed. I also feel Sam Raimi used up the two best characters in Spider-Man's rogues gallery that he ultimately felt he had no one left. While a visually stunning character, Sandman had little to do, and the movie should've just been Venom and Harry as the villains.

Now, to many Rhino is just a thug who crashes into things and is a bit of a doofus, but I like that Marc Webb, as he's doing with Electro, is trying to make these characters less one-dimensional bad guys, but have layers to them. Obviously, I don't want like the Raimi films where every supervillain has to relate to or have some correlation with Peter Parker--- we've seen that TOO MANY times, but I would like to at least see either both men as Oscorp scientists, or people who wanted to change the face of the company and the world, and both got shafted by Oscorp. Maybe in the beginning, Alex O'Hirn is a Russian mob boss and Spider-Man disrupts an arms deal of his, and Alex escapes. Norman, being the shadowy character he is, comes to him with an offer to get back at Spider-Man. Alex accepts the deal and becomes Rhino.

If you add Black Cat into the mix then I guess the only way I see it working is if Felicia Hardy's father owes money to O'Hirn and dons the skintight catsuit and robs banks to pay off his debts, or she is an associate of O'Hirn's and they rob banks together--- sort of like after "Batman Begins" all of the freaks started coming out of the woodwork ala Joker in "The Dark Knight" and Catwoman and Bane in "The Dark Kight Rises." So, all of sudden New York is being overrun by costumed villains and then you have J.Jonah Jameson and the Daily Bugle blaming Spider-Man for bringing in these menaces and even lying to the public that Spider-Man is in cahoots with them. The N.Y.P.D.'s alliance with Spider-Man would also be tested. But then you also got the triple-love-triangle thing again that hurt Raimi's films.

I'm sure they can make it work but the movie has to at the very least be 2 hours and 20 minutes or 2 and half just to fit in everything. Although, more than likely, Aunt May and Mary Jane's scenes will probably get the least amount of screentime.

She does look very Betty, what has she been in that showcases her acting ability?

weird that both Felicity Jones and Emma Stone are hotter than the choice for MJ... -_-

Not to me. Woodley just needs to lose some weight and look more like she did in Secret Life. She's a lot cuter I think.

Also, Felicity is most definitely not the best looking girl in the media. I'd say Kristen Dunst level.

Yeah the only thing really holding Woodley back is the baby fat on her face. I think she'd look perfect if she lost that.

Uh I don't know what pictures you're looking at but Felicity looks wayy better than Dunst.

[culver3vlr22]

I just really would love to see black cat on the big screen!

Gwen was just as good looking as MJ in the comics anyway...

Quite a valid point. Thank you sir. In ASM they are both more "cute" than "hot." So cute they are hot.

That's just Webb's casting style though. And I'm all for it.

I remember Felicity in Cape Wrath with Tom Hardy and David Morrissey.


She was pretty good in Cemetery Junction. Ralph Fiennes played her dad.

[Majik1387]

My introduction to her was in The Tempest
