“That’s what we’re in talks about really, right now – how I could become that character and not feel forced. I might not look right with white hair, and the accent may be wrong… it just doesn’t work like that.”
Interesting.
Yes...me too....My reaction to the news aaron is (almost certainly) cast as quicksilver
Can't wait to see him in the suit
I always thought itd be quite funny if you saw him eating loads and people asked him why and hed explain its because hes burning so much energy all the time.
No. Just, no.Thats what were in talks about really, right now how I could become that character and not feel forced. I might not look right with white hair, and the accent may be wrong it just doesnt work like that.
Bleeding Cool, who was the first to drop the Olsen news, also said she would be British (adopt a European accent). So considering the only two sources we ever heard news from on the castings said the same exact thing, they're probably going to be ****ing British.
And you obviously didn't read the entire conversation. I don't give a **** about them not being Eastern European. I was saying they're never drawn as Easter Euro in the comics anyway so there's no point in being upset about them not "looking" Eastern European in the film. As for how you draw Eastern Europeans...idk, how do Eastern Europeans look different from other ethnicities? That is a silly question to ask. obviously if people ***** about them not looking Eastern European there are distinct physical differences that you can highlight in art to make it clear...which they don't.
Well, to clarify (which I really didn't do in my first post), I don't just mean vanilla plain in terms of their ethnicity, but in their resumes (at least in the case of Johnson; Olsen I've heard decent things about even tho I'm not familiar with her). If you're going to cast two people who don't even look/aren't part Jewish/Roma, at least make it worth it. I'm just not impressed with Johnson as an actor -- and he seems like the epitome of generic mediocre "safe" casting.Because they're going to be British in the movie. Also, in case you haven't noticed, the characters are vanilla plain whitebread in the comics as well. They're stated to be from Eastern Europe in the comics but 1) They were never of Eastern European descent in the first place, they just grew up there and 2) Artists never bothered to try and draw them like Eastern Europeans anyway. At least they're being real about here. On top of the fact it's impossible to find young Eastern European actors in Hollywood in the first place.
Okay, but it's pretty obvious they're going to be British.Or BC got it from the same rumor back when Ronan was rumored. Until there's confirmation from either of these two actors or someone actually working on the film, I'm not putting faith in the British thing.
And on the Eastern European thing, if people make such an issue about it, then they need to offer examples of how that's supposed to look, because I've never heard anything about any physical differences for something like that in my life.
Yeah the movie and characters are doomed for sure.They made a huge mistake.
Well regardless of what you think about Johnson, it's really not a big deal they aren't Eastern Europeans. At least their European/foreign in general, like they should be, and their ethnicity actually matches how they look in the comics. And again, they're from Eastern Europe but their not of Eastern European descent. They were given to Eastern Europeans by the High Evolutionary as children.Well, to clarify (which I really didn't do in my first post), I don't just mean vanilla plain in terms of their ethnicity, but in their resumes (at least in the case of Johnson; Olsen I've heard decent things about even tho I'm not familiar with her). If you're going to cast two people who don't even look/aren't part Jewish/Roma, at least make it worth it. I'm just not impressed with Johnson as an actor -- and he seems like the epitome of generic mediocre "safe" casting.
I didn't really expect Marvel to track down two people with Eastern European or Roma heritage (and I don't really blame them for it), but they could have. I'm sure there are plenty of European unknowns who'd be happy to take Marvel's paycheck and have a chance to widen their audience in a Hollywood flick.
Just to be clear, Im not referring to the hair or accent or any other meaningless thing.Yeah the movie and characters are doomed for sure.
