First Avenger OFFICIAL: Chris Evans is Captain America

[Punk&ComicBooks]

Guys I think after Watchmen, Ms. Marvels outfit would be acceptable however I still think it should meet somewhere in the middle along the lines of being modified to be able to actually fight with in a real world type setting but still faithful...Anything is possible, you just have to be open minded

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Haha no way, it won't be faithful. Because people are gonna b***h about it being sexist, which it kinda is.

Hell yeah, people would go "bananas" if her costume is a swimsuit in the film.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Agreed.

Try as I might, I have a hard time thinking that this ..........

Spoiler

running around on a cinema screen would be acceptable in a, what, PG-13 movie?

(apologies to the mods if there's a little too much flesh showing there - that's why I've spoilered the picture so that it not apparent on 1st viewing - although I would point out that there's literally no more flesh showing than there than there is in an actual drawing of Ms Marvel - that costume there is pretty damned comicbook accurate. t

really brian? that's too much skin? when was the last time you watched a pg 13 film or took a walk outside between may and september? that's pretty tame compared to many outfits

 

[WildcatNC]

^^^^^^Yes please t:

 

[Brian Braddock]

Yup, before it gets deleted by a mod. Maybe I'm paranoid but I still wonder if I've overstepped a boundary in posting that?

You're probably right but you never know with this place - I've seen people banned for less, put it that way.

nah, they post worst in the "hotties" thread on a daily basis. but better safe than sorry i suppose

 

[Brian Braddock]

Well, if I'm gone for about a week or so, you'll know where I am.

I don't see why an adapted Ms Marvel outfit wouldn't work. All you would have to do is change the whole butt cheeks covered with like a yellow section, so it was technically covered.

Personally though, I could deal with a more modified costume. Sure she is iconic in the comics like that, but i'd love to see a really tough, strong female superhero on the screen that ISN'T overly sexualised. She can be sexy without having to show T & A. She was in the military for crying out loud, why would super strength suddenly need her to show her ass? That would put off alot of audience members, i'd imagine.

 

[Saint]

Agreed.

Sorry, I... uh... wait, what were you saying? Something about... something...

Oh hell: this is so good I can't even complain about the sash. Love the sash!

Agreed.

I'm fine with it at least.

Yup.


Though in all seriousness I think if we were to see Ms Marvel on screen then it might be an adaption of her suit in a similar vein to Storm in the X-men movies. Although I would still want something that resembles the comic suit if given the choice (see my second last post to this for my thoughts on that).

 

[Whiskey Tango]

She's wearing a sash...?

 

[Dark Raven]

I need to see Ms Marvel's butt cheeks in live action!! She must wear the swimsuit!

Chris Evans has spoken exclusively to Total Film about the demands of taking on the Captain America role.

Evans was cast as the iconic comic hero for Marvel's The First Avenger, and he'll also be appearing in superhero team-up The Avengers.

"It's a big commitment," he tells us. "At one point it was nine pictures. We've got it down to six but still, that's making a decision for a big portion of your life."

"I love acting but there are other things I want to do. I want to write and direct. If the movies do well and they want to exercise all six films, I could be doing this until I'm 40."

"That's a crazy thing to try and process."

Evans is also fully aware of the demands of transporting such a well-loved property to the big screen: "It's important, you know at the end of the day we are doing this for the fans. And if they're not happy, we've missed the mark."

"You go in and do as much research as you can from the comic books, but you're also trying to make something your own. This is an origin story."

"I think a lot of the comic books deal with after he's become Captain America, so to some degree we had to take some liberties. But you want to make sure you've done your homework."

The actor is also keen for the character to remain human, and not disappear beneath the iconic status: "You want the character to be the icon, but if you reduce him to a red, white and blue outfit it makes him shallow."

"It wasn't until we got our hands dirty with the script and had a good couple of scenes in the can, that I thought, 'Man, I think I'm actually getting this guy.' I feel like the character now, much more than a shield or a mask."

Despite Evans initial reluctance towards the role, he assured us that this has been an experience he has very much enjoyed: "I wouldn't trade this movie at this point for anything. I'm very happy with the decision."

Is anyone else really curious about the financial structuring of these multi-movie deals? Didn't Robert Downey re-do his original Iron Man contract before filming the sequel? And Tobey Maguire did the same before Spider-Man 2. So I'm wondering just how binding these things are. Obviously it's at the studio's discretion whether they actually make six movies with CAP in them, but how much leeway does Evans have? And I'd sure like to know the salary levels. What if THE FIRST AVENGER barely warrants a sequel, grossing somewhere in the $150-200 mil range? Then consider whether it takes in more than $350 mil - wouldn't Evans deserve a much higher salary for CAP 2 in that second scenario??? And then consider THE AVENGERS: If CAP makes $150 mil, but THE AVENGERS brings in $400 mil, does Evans' salary for CAP 2 go up based on THE AVENGERS' awesome B.O. showing?!? I wonder how much of that is covered in the initial deal.

With some of these actors' (like certain athlete's) contracts these days, I just wonder whether they're really worth their weight, as far as being binding...

 

[GhostPoet]

Haha no way, it won't be faithful. Because people are gonna b***h about it being sexist, which it kinda is.

I'm a guy and I don't really care of it's sexist or not. I just think it's stupid looking.

 

[cryptic name]

Haha no way, it won't be faithful. Because people are gonna b***h about it being sexist, which it kinda is.

maybe she feels sexy and confidant in her outfit and that makes her feel more powerful. in which case it would be sexist to say the outfit is sexist...

 

[Mercurius]

The sexist argument doesn't stick, because it would be sexist to have male actors showing how muscled they are.

And that's pretty pretty pretty (Larry David's style) common in superhero movies.

Never saw anybody claim the sexist thing in those cases. Superheroes and superheroines are sexy, that's all: they use tight costumes and some show a good deal of their bodies.

I like the superheroine. Personally, the superhero is not to my taste.














Not that there's anything wrong with it.

 

[Duker Jay]

Scantily-clad being the norm doesn't necessarily mean it's not sexist...whether male or female.

Of course, it would be naive to think there's no difference between the way male and female are presented in a medium traditionally dominated by male creators and audiences.

Of course, it would be naive to think there's no difference between the way male and female are presented in a medium traditionally dominated by male creators and audiences.

Strangely enough, I find really big chunks of male sexism widespread on the media, if we will call it henceforth "sexism".

Alan Moore has made a number of satires on this square-jawed all pumped-up superhero standard, as well as on the skimpy superheroine.

But outside the critical parody, that's how things are since the dawn of superhero.

She can feel sexy and comfortable but people will definitely misinterpret this.

Are.... we..... Agreeing on something?

I find it great that Evans is so ambitious with his career. I'm curious to how he would be as a director.

I'm a guy and I don't really care of it's sexist or not. I just think it's stupid looking.

The problem is there are people who do care and they're would b***h endlessly if they saw something like that on film.
