Sean Penn is considered a good actor, but he would never fit role of a comic book hero.

I have no idea why I did this.

 

[OwlBoy]

Because you hate America?

 

[Dr. Fate]

No, but their acting skills should be good enough for the role. A bad actor ruins every movie no matter what role they play.

Fraser has all the acting skills required for CM. He isn't that physically wrong for Marvel, either. With him we'd get both sides of the character while with Molale we'd get the look but without the acting to convince the audience he's the character. The entire movie is compromised unless the person who's playing Marvel can do a good job convincing the audience he's Marvel.



Depends on the character he'd be playing.

Penn would make a good Jason Blood.

I'm still not convinced that Fraser is the right man for CM.

Eddie Dean - that manip is hilarious.

Fraser has a square jaw, he has the proper build, is a believable action hero but most importantly he has the acting skills to be a convincing badass super-hero and act like an innocent kid.

Eddie Dean - that manip is hilarious.

That's true.

 

[The Shadow]

Hey, I wonder if the Lt. Marvels will be in it. LOL

 

[The Shadow]

I think Fraser could pull it off, it CM just sounds like a roll he would play

 

[Dr. Fate]

Being slightly shorter then The Rock would be a great way to make Black Adam more intimidating as a villain. It would give BA another edge over Marvel physically and be visually interesting whenever they interact.

I thought Captain Marvel and Black Adam were roughly the same height (at least when he's in Marvel mode).

BTW, what is Brendan Fraser's exact salary?

 

[The Major]

In the comics they are. That doesn't mean it has to be exactly the same in the movie.

A shorter Marvel would be good, IMO. It would increase Adam's threat visually to the audience. This is not a bad thing to add to the relationship between BA and Marvel in a movie.

It would almost impossible to find an actor with The Rock's build and height with the acting skills to make Marvel work on screen, too.

If he exists I haven't seen him.

BTW, what is Brendan Fraser's exact salary?

That I don't know.

 

[Webhead2006]

fraser could probably pull off a good cap marvel. I would like to see that. Also he probably would have made a decent superman when it was rumored he was up for the role in one of the versions before singer's film. But i remember at that time i thought he would have been terrible for the role since he was mostly known for comedy films and all that.

Fraser's asking price would undoubtedly be a factor in whether or not he's even approached for the part of Captain Marvel. He might be seen as too expensive in what will no doubt be a very expensive film. If his asking price is too high, they might just say "Screw it, let's just hire some unknown guy 'cause it's cheaper."

[Webhead2006]

Yea that makes u think to over at marvel they should go with unknowns for captain america and thor films so the avengers film will not be so expensive with having all big names in the film unless each agree to a lesser paycheck.

While I don't think they're going to go this way, through the magic of editing, body doubles, and special effects, The Rock could play both Black Adam and Captain Marvel. It might be an attractive option for beefing up his screen time as well since I think he might be the biggest name in the cast and neatly sidesteps the problem of The Hulk where the lead actor disappears for good chunks of the film.

Just putting it on the table as an option.

 

[Webhead2006]

Yea i could see that possibly happening. I remember when his name was first thought of being in the film that he would be for cap or adam but he says he did a vote things with fans and they wanted him to be the villain. So if he stays the villain or does both roles that would be cool. If they go with another actor for cap i hope he is good and the film will be good.

Peter Segal and The Rock's Get Smart did pretty well in it's second weekend if you take into account the competition (WALL E and Wanted).

GET SMART

Domestic Total as of Jun. 29, 2008: $77,266,000 (Estimate)

Production Budget: $80 million

Domestic: $77,266,000 79.0%
+ Foreign: $20,500,000 21.0%

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

= Worldwide: $97,766,000

The introduction of two big box office draws caused a significant drop in many of the returning movies with only a couple being able to hold up their business from last weekend.

Warner Bros.' Get Smart, last week's top movie, dropped to third place with $20 million, down 48% from its opening weekend, while DreamWorks Animation's Kung Fu Panda had a similar drop in its fourth weekend, taking fourth place with $11.7 million for a cumulative gross of $179.3 million. It's slowly working its way to becoming DreamWorks Animation's second biggest non-sequel movie after the original Shrek.

I think Patrick Warburton may get the role of Captain Marvel since he's part of the Get Smart team, appearing in Get Smart's Bruce and Lloyd Out of Control DvD.

^ BA & CM

Once upon a time, Bruce Campbell could have stuck that chin out and played a 13-year-old-stuck-in-a-superhero no problem.

Yeah, I can picture that. t:

 

[Webhead2006]

yea patrick warburton would probably be a good captain marvel.

 

[Dr. Fate]

I'd support Patrick Warburton as Captain Marvel.

How about Jewel Staite as Mary Marvel?

 

[Webhead2006]

she looks nice, but since i dont know the characters, and that actress i dont know who would be good.

 

[The Shadow]

Brendan Fraser as Cap. Marvel.

Alex Ross makes manipping so easy...t:

 

[OwlBoy]

I see Lacey Chabert as Mary Marvel
