Civil War Martin Freeman Cast as Everett Ross

[terry78]

Just because an actor is a fanboy fave doesn't mean he's suited to every ****ing role out there. Common sense.

 

[MahvelBaby!]

I'm fine whoever he plays dudes a great actor, I don't like pigeon holing actors and saying they can't do this or that. Talent is talent.

 

[take3]

LR is saying he is playing an interrogator

 

[Protar]

I think it unlikely that he's just cast in a small role. He'll probably be the Ulysses Klaue/Andy Serkiss of Civil War: Small role here, but sets up a larger appearance in a later movie.

 

[JC00]

Speculation is that we will be Evertt Ross

 

[Raiden]

Speculation is that we will be Evertt Ross

The speculation is that he will play this character both in CW and later in the BP solo movie.

 

[Mike Murdock]

So Everett K. Ross?

That seems like the best choice, although Henry Gyrich would be another possible choice if they have the rights.

I also wouldn't dismiss the possibility of an original character.

 

[Jumpman]

Have anyone of you guys read the leaked outline?

 

[Dr. Evil]

If he is Everett Ross, how was his American accent in Fargo?

 

[Jumpin' Jack]

His accent was very good, but it was a very heavy accent as well (Minnesotan?), which might be easier to do than the standard American one.

 

[Protar]

Have anyone of you guys read the leaked outline?

No, care to share?

 

[Jumpin' Jack]

No, care to share?

It's on 4Chan so can be wrong. Martin Freeman is cast as a Superhero Registration Act Agent, kind of what Coulson was to Shield in the Iron Man movies.

 

[The Demon's Head]

I'm going with Peter Gyrich.

 

[chamber-music]

Isn't Henry Peter Gyrich owned by Fox because he appeared briefly in the first X-Men movie?

 

[BatsDC]

Isn't Henry Peter Gyrich owned by Fox because he appeared briefly in the first X-Men movie?

If so that debunks that whole plot outline, aha.

 

[Protar]

Isn't Henry Peter Gyrich owned by Fox because he appeared briefly in the first X-Men movie?

Well, as we know some characters may appear in both franchises.

 

[LEOZZTT]

Exactly, Peter Gyrich first appeared in an Avengers comic book and was the U.S. Government Liaison to the group.

It's probably another Wanda/Pietro situation.

 

[The_Manhunter]

Please be playing Dormammu please be playing Dormammu. Lol

 

[cph9fa]

Gyrich is my guess as well.

 

[<(o_o)>]

Maybe he will be someone goofy like Abner Jenkins as The Beetle.

 

[Katsuro]

As much as i love outside-the-box casting, Freeman as Norman Osborn just doesn't even seem plausible to me. If that turned out to be the case, I'd be very curious to see what kind of audition he gave that made them go that direction, but I really don't think that'll be the case.

He's almost definitely someone like Everett Ross.

 

[Knight_SV]

Baron mordo or norman osborn

 

[ctsketch]

Baron Mordo? what does iron fist have to do with this?

 

[Protar]

Baron Mordo? what does iron fist have to do with this?

Baron Mordo could be a Doctor Strange villain. People want Freeman and Cumberbatch to pair up again.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Looks like Marvel is starting a new trend: announcing in their casting press releases the casting of the actor, but not who the actor is playing. They did this when Rosario Dawson was cast in Daredevil and we had to wait until New York City Comic-Con months later to find out who she was playing (Claire Temple) and they did this to Daniel Bruhl (who they have not officially announced that he's playing Baron Helmut Zemo).

I bet they do this with Chiwetel Ejiofor if he's announced for Doctor Strange, they announce his casting in the film in a press release, with Kevin Feige saying good things about him, but not announcing his character in the film.

It's probably going to be an annoyance.
