Eternals The Eternals General Disscussion and Speculation thread

[THORin]

I’m just excited to see who they cast for Sersi (and the rest of the roles!)

Me too!

I phrased that post wrong, sorry about that. I mean to say: it seems to matter to you, even though you’ve just said it doesn’t matter to you. I’m confused about which it is.

What matters to me is equality. Most suited gets the job.

I understand that people get discriminated against and historically have been persecuted and crimes against humanity are happening to this day.

But we will not solve this through 'positive' discrimination. It is still discrimination. How will a white, hetrosexual, man who grew up in a trailer park with an abusive father and drug addict mother. Who goes for a role, he's up against an ivy League gay black man. He doesn' get the role because he is too privaliged.

We are all unique. But should all be treated equal.

So who do you guys think should play Sersi?

 

[Dark Raven]

Carver is good...and good-looking. Luke Evans is a great actor, but I think he’s a bit too lean for Hercules: though, I suppose, he could bulk up.

I think he doesn't really look right for Hercules even if he bulked up. Even someone like Cavill I'm not sure is right. I think Joe Manganiello fits better both looks wise and personality wise.

I thought the suggestion of Yvonne Orji was pretty good.

Manganiello looks too lean to me too. And older than I would imagine Hercules.

I imagine, I guess, someone more like Brant Daugherty.

Depends on what the story needs her to be. What is her role. Is she a leader? Is she vulnerable? She a ninja? Will she need the audience to love her? Hate her? Fear her?

I hope she’s a relatable character: fun loving, laidback, not too serious.

I would love to see an Asian actress get the role. Maybe someone like Maggie Q?

Don't know. She's on Designated Survivor.

 

[Web-Head]

Don't know. She's on Designated Survivor.

I think they're done filming season 3 though. If not, they will be soon. I doubt it'll be her anyway, haha

Honestly Constance wu is the only one I can see in the role

 

[Deck Rickard]

So I saw that report on CBM that said they are looking at Cameron Britton for Ikaris? Ummm... that’s... unexpected casting, if true.

I want to see Constance Wu in a CBM so badly.

Ooh, man. I really hope not. As a supporting character or someone else, maybe. He's a really good actor, but I don't think he's a fit for Ikaris

Yeah I don’t really know the Eternals but just based on looks alone, it’s a strange casting rumor.

 

[Dark Raven]

But while they can both bulk up, Manganiello looks more like Hercules than Evans, at least facially. And he has more of that bravado that you'd equate with Herc than Evans has. That's why I'd even hesitate with Cavill, because although he's got the size, he still always seems a bit of an English gent, even when he was playing Superman.

I would never think Henry Cavill could be Hercules. I can at least imagine Manganiello in the role.

That would be absolutely Amazing

 

[Dark Raven]

What actor is there who has that loud and brash sort of personality naturally and wouldn't seem like they were putting it on if they were cast as Hercules? Who can do a hearty belly laugh and not feel like they're acting?

Ideally you want someone with a personality a bit like Brian Blessed or John Rhys Davies.

I suppose there is Jason Momoa, but he's already Aquaman.

 

[Abudefduf]

He's not gay but I wouldn't mind John Krasinski as Hercules. Not only does he look the part, he also has experience with comedy.

EDIT: I mean, look at this picture and tell me he wouldn't be perfect.

 

[Web-Head]

Manganiello might be busy filming Suicide Squad 2 and we're not even sure if Hercules is going to be in this. Plus we're just speculating that Hercules will be the gay character and assuming he is, the article states they're seeking an openly gay actor for the part. Which, Manganiello is not.

 

[Dark Raven]

If Hercules is meant to be based on the Greek myth of Heracles, then he was married to Megara, daughter of King Creon. He also had children, but he suffered a fit of madness and killed them. This led to the twelve tasks of Hercules to atone for his crime. That's pivotal to the myth.

So I don't know that he'd be a gay character. Why do people think it will be Hercules?

Hercules in the comics was bisexual, if I recall correctly, in a run of X-treme X-men. I think that’s the basis for it.

He wasn't an eternal either. People just speculating.

If they are going to be true to his costume then he can't be gay because that would be way ott and open up a massive can of worms.
