Ewan McGregor Is Black Mask

[Boom]

The lack of a mask is annoying.

Gonna be like Zemo in Civil War. Really wanted Bruhl in that purple get-up.

 

[Boom]

Might as well remove "Black Mask" from the title then.

 

[TheScarecrow]

^ We've seen set pictures of him wearing a mask?

 

[Micromind]

The Mask is there in some pics but it's not a full Mask.

I'm going to be super disappointed if they don't go with something close to the comics. His look has so much on-screen potential, and fits right into the "Rated R" vibe they want.

Heard and Depp aren't in the same movie together. But I do find the drama with McGregor and Winstead's exhusband hilarious.

Scott Pilgrim vs The World is now real

 

[SwordOfMorning]

I should not be as disappointment that the article about Winstead's ex-husband's attempted katana vengeance appears to be a photoshop job than I am.

Proof that DC should not have cast McGregor as Black Mask

I'd have preferred Sharlto Copley at the time.

Ah, I see that it is just a meme and it never happened. The idea of it seemed so outlandish that I kinda wanted it to be real.

What would that have changed? The way the character is presented is due to the writing and directing.

 

[David H.]

lol guys wtf?

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I love how the title of this thread changed to a simple 'Isn't'

 

[Yellow Cyclone]

he'll probably have the mask on in his intro scene, take it off and never wear it again

 

[Tg11]

He looked damn great in the trailer

 

[KaijuDude1992]

Ewan looks like he is having a lot of fun chewing the scenery.

There was actually production art for Civil War that had him wearing the purple mask. Who knows, maybe he'll wear it in the Falcon/Winter Soldier show.

He will. There was already a promo of him wearing it and telling Sam and Bucky he'd see them soon.

This is what I hoped would happen if he ever returned. He's basically going to be on the run from escaping, so wearing a mask really makes sense now.

To keep on topic, I need to check out this trailer soon.

Yeah, cause he's basically playing a discount Joker. Not Black Mask . I don't get Black Mask vibes from him at all.

 

[Deck Rickard]

I feel like directors can take some liberties with these characters but when you have a character who is literally called Black MASK and then he doesn’t wear a mask, it kinda ruins it. Then again... I’ve never liked Black Mask anyway so it doesn’t really bother me much that this version doesn’t appear to resemble his comic book counterpart.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Black Mask was never a popular Batman villain so I guess they’re trying to make him more interesting. We’ll see.

 

[MovieSlave]

Caught the trailer before "Joker". I'm not some Black Mask fanboy but I do like the villain quite a bit and this is lame as hell from what was shown in the trailer.

 

[Deck Rickard]

A friend of mine saw Joker the other day and this trailer was in front of it. He said it made him worry that Joker was going to suck, lol. I don't want this movie to fail but damn, I wish I could say that something I've seen from it made me feel good about it.
