I will wait to see how the DC actors do before I bitch. My first thought when Marvel announced Robert Downey Jr as IM was not good when I heard it. How wrong I was.



Eddie, around here it will be Ironman stocked, and Ironman stocked. All other MU figures never show up here.

I was a fan of his early stuff, but than he had his issues and I wasn't confident they were really over. Like I said. I was so wrong. I have not had any issues except Norton (didn't like him as Banner at all) with the actors Marvel has casted after seeing the movies. Thor and Loki are my absolute favorite 2. Even watching the cartoons now, I see them in my head. Tom Hiddleston is the absolute man as Loki. He does that role so good.

That's odd, not that I know a gang about the intricacies of movie casting,I thought this was spot on considering that RDJ would be playing a version of himself as Tony.

I honestly didn't even pay attention to the RDJ signing. It was way under the radar for me. I do remember all the drug talk and bad boy image etc around him though.

I only even went to IM because my buddy dragged me to it like he did/does for most comic book movies. Of course I'm hooked on the MCU now, so now I'm excited to go to those movies :)

I loved Norton as Banner too, until Avengers. I loved how "small" he appears, although he's a pretty cut guy (and can get quite bulked up if necessary), he's still small-framed, so he appears less imposing. Mark Ruffalo, though, for some reason, just nailed it for me. I don't even read the comics, but in my head, he was a better version of who I imagined the Hulk to be before he Hulks out.

I hated Eric Bana as Banner. He's already a big fucking guy, so him turning into the Hulk just doesn't seem as drastic. I also didn't care for his performance, but it may also have to do with that film sucking major ass.

^Also, Eddieisms galore. :eek:

Having been a big RDJ fan, I thought the casting was genious...

I also thought that RDJ was perfect casting, especially with his drug/alcohol background. He was the perfect Tony Stark; I can't imagine anyone else playing him now. He pulls off the smug smartass playboy perfectly, and he's so quick on his feet with improvisation that it's not unbelievable that he's a genius, either. Guy's really smart, too.

Did you see his audition video? It was fucking amazing, I believe he bullshitted half the dialogue and it was killer.

Too obscure for ME...meaning, up until they were announced to be in the movie, I'd rarely heard her name...I've been a DC guy all my life...not because I was a snobby little kid, but because I grew up with Reeve Superman and Superfriends...I didn't avoid Marvel, I just wasn't exposed to it...only thing I knew of Marvel was Hulk for the most part...any other knowledge gained between my youth and now was just passing...

Same family.

I think it's possible but it would need a second star with her. Maybe a Hawkeye, Cap, Falcon or something. Kinda like how she is the co star of Cap 2 coming up. It would have to be basically a "shield movie".

If they do give her her own film, which I doubt they will, it will probably be a prequel of sorts diving into her past with Hawkeye and perhaps her recruitment to SHIELD. If they go that route I'm more than fine with it.

They were trying to build on the Daredevil franchise at that point though, hoping to get a sequel off the ground.

I had read someplace more than a year ago ( and I can't for the life of me remember where now) that it was the intention of Marvel to use Guardians of the Galaxy as a sort of "snuff film" to show just how bad ass Thanos is - and that they were using it as a bridge to set up the conflict for Avengers 3. Like I said it was a while ago so who knows how much things have changed in the grand plan since then.

I remember reading something like that as well. I also remember reading that GOTG only got green lit because they couldn't get the FF license back from Fox. Fox had to make a 3rd film or have a Re-boot in production by a certain date or it went back to Marvel.
