I would prefer an actress than a model, personally. Was I worried when ScarJo was cast as Black Widow? Not in the least. She can act. Was I worried when Gal Gadot became WW? Yes, and I still am. They should have gotten a true actor for such a major role.

 

[The Endless]

I agree with that. Emily Blunt comes to mind.

Mark Ruffalo doesn't look like Bruce banner and Renner doesn't look like Barton...but no one is complaining...sigh..double standards

Mark Ruffalo's a good looking guy. and i was never behind the Renner casting. you can pretend there's a double standard. but i could just direct everyone to casting of Captain America; to show you the otherside. what was the reaction to "guy from the Office" possibly being Cap? was there not a lot of complaints about size and profiles? i'm pretty sure that someone said that Evans' nose was too big, at one point. some candidates were called to effeminate-looking. etc.

 

[Ant-manic]

I really HATE this whole mentality that only super model hot women can be a comic book female hero

The women in comics are drawn to be super models purely because comics are a male dominated medium and it is fan service. Just because Carol Danvers looks like a Barbie doll in the comics doesn't mean only 10/10 hot women can play her. This mentality is extremely sexist.

yeah yeah yeah, tell it to the people whining about black johnny storm and miles teller's butterface. Carol Danvers doesn't have to be hawt. Katee Sackhoff has been my pick, from the start. i think she's quite tomboyish in appearance. Middle Girl is perfectly adequate for Jessica Jones. and there are several other characters within the marvel universe that i could see her playing. but, when it comes to Carol Danvers, they can do better. they should do better.

 

[TheVision]

Feige has made it clear that he doesn't practice the lame-brained studio exec way of thinking that female superhero lead = BO poison because of the previous attempts

Im lame brained too I guess because I would be pretty cautious about it. Its not a thing where you can point out any female hero film that was on the level of Iron Man or Batman. Itll be a first if they pull it off (hope they do).

evans out in london. boy does he look a little bit haggard
but at least we know they are all back to london

 

[TheVision]

Cappy! Good to see the ol bean

I wonder if Evans' hair there is how Steve's hair will be styled in the movie? It looks a lot more like the way it was cut for Cap 1 and Avengers, closer to a 40s style, compared to the more modern/trendy haircut Steve had in Cap 2.

I would guess it would be this look. People keep saying he is wearing a wig in A2 (though that has not been confirmed anywhere), yet his natural hair is longer than it has been for any of the movies thus far. Further, you can clearly see his longer, natural hair coming out of the back of his helmet in the Korea set pictures. Maybe he is wearing a wig, I don't know. Just doesn't seem to make sense given the natural length.

*Bruce Banner* doesn't usually look like Bruce Banner. Guy doesn't really have a consistent, iconic appearance.

 

[starkresilient]

evans always wear wigs, a blonde one so I think he'll wear in aou again even tho his hair is longer.

Does anyone think that after TWS and DOFP being so good,AOU is not going to meet expectations?Just a random thought.

 

[Ghostcrow13]

Does anyone think that after TWS and DOFP being so good,AOU is not going to meet expectations?Just a random thought.

Is that because there can only be a limited amount of great superhero films and so the quote is already filled for the next few years?

Or that TWS and DOFP will have created even higher expectations for AOU?

Either way, no I think it will be much better than A1 and TWS, not seen DOFP so cant comment.

I think expectations for this, will be based on A1 and not TWS

Yes I was thinking about bigger expectations and how people tend to compare different movies and franchises.

 

[TheVision]

Ill be comparing it to The Avengers 1 not really TWS and DOFP, simply because theyre different kinds of movies. I just want it to be an awesome Avengers film.

 

[yllum]

Yes I was thinking about bigger expectations and how people tend to compare different movies and franchises.

I agreed that audience expectation will be off the roof. The public will demand a high quality A2 film...not just because of the awesome tws and dofp. But because A2 is the sequel to A1..

A1 is such a game changer and it brings in so much more fans which previously are not into comic book movies

 

[First Avenger]

Yeah obviously A1 was amazing on its own.

I don't think ruffalo is good looking but that is besides the point. He doesn't look like a Bruce banner either

AOU is going to meet expectations, it's just not going to blow everything else out of the water like last time. AOU probably won't be crowned the undisputed best superhero movie ever. Some will think it's the best, some will prefer other recent superfilms.

 

[TJByrum]

I wonder what the run time will be. They're putting a LOT of lead characters into this movie and I'm starting to feel like the movie is going to naturally be longer to make sure each character gets their share of time.

Would anyone happen to know when we could possibly expect a trailer? Wonder if they'll try to tag one onto the GotG film in theaters?

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

He does look like a Bruce Banner.

 

[TJByrum]

He does look like a Bruce Banner.

Hmm, nice job.

I'm so glad they didn't portray him as some frail guy like in those Avengers cartoon movies.

 

[ctsketch]

He does look like a Bruce Banner.

touche. I was referring to the current frail iterations

 

[TheVision]

He looks more like him than Ed Norton (frail nerd) or Eric Bana (unlikable nerd) actually. Mark comes from the Bill Bixby (cool scientist) class of Banner. Thats my favorite anyway.

I just rewatched Ang Lees HULK again the other day btw. I really f***n hate that movie.

 

[R_Hythlodeus]

That wouldbe great. The reaction to the GOTG trailer attached to CATWS was amazing
