Flying too close to the sun - The Ikaris (Richard Madden) Thread

I didn’t mean anyone had literally been destroyed by that type of behavior, I just think it’s s***ty to badger someone to come out when they don’t want to or constantly insinuate someone is gay when they may not be or identify as bi/pan/etc.

 

He's Scottish so its like kinda the law I support him

Have really only seen him in GOT and now Rocketman. From what little I have seen he seemed great in GOT, in Rocketman he plays a real creep and is really unlikeable but I suppose that's what he was going for with that role.

Best of luck to him.

 

Check out Bodyguard. It's probably his best role to date. He was also really good in Klondike.

 

I hope he won‘t call Ajax ma‘m all the time...

 

He was great in Cinderella! I thought he was Sebastian Stan when I first saw that film.

 

Yeah if they say these team movies are an ensemble, there's always that one character that gets the most importance. Though I would bet its Ikaris.

 

What do you all think of Ikaris so far? He probably has my favorite costume in the film, followed closely by Angie’s. Can’t tell from the joke scene whether Madden is using his Scottish accent or something else. Can’t wait to see more of him.

 

He seems to be 1B in terms of main characters (with Sersi being 1A). It's hard to gauge the personalities of the characters from this trailer. Since the concept it out of the way, hopefully trailer 2 gives us more character.

 

Its a minor complaint but I wish they made him blonde just like Ange-Thena, especially after Sersi, he's the most well known Eternal from the comiXs. A detail like hair color irks me when its not similar to the source material especially comiXs. I also haven't seen Richard Madden as a blonde.

 

I didn't know he has powers similar to Cyclops and Superman.

 

I’ll be honest; watching him kick ass in that trailer made me hope Marvel just blatantly sets him up as their Superman surrogate.

 

I hope the leaks aren’t true about him

Spoiler: Leak Spoiler

killing Ajak

that would be a difficult situation if they continue with this character development

 

He looks a bit too much like Bucky now instead of Ikaris. Give him a blue leather jacket and metal arm and he could pass for him.

 

Cyman? Superclops.

 

I wish they changed his hair to platinum or gold blonde.

 

Hey, if they make his character premise "the godlike superhuman who has to remain in secret and angsts over this fact", I bet they do a better job of it than MoS.

 

Spoiler

Damn, I hope they don’t do that. I would hate to see them make him the villain. Though it would certainly be a surprise.

 

I hope so too.

 

He should've looked more like Filmation He-Man.

 

I actually like the swerve if those leaks are true given where I thought this was going.

 

Was good seeing his power-use in the trailer. Already seems better than what we’ve had of Cyclops’ optic beams on film to date.
