MARVEL MOVIE NEWS for those who care:

[SteveD]

There have been rumours floating about for years now that the wrestler Triple H was/is to be playing Thor. He looks like him, but there endeth any similarities.

I'd have thought these days with CGI etc that it's not necessary to have a ripped physique to play Thor - but a modecum of acting skills would help!

[Sundance]

branagh recently had a meeting with a Scandanavian actor, who looked suitably Thor-ish...

Scarlett Johannsen and Mickey Rourke are playing Black Widow and Whiplash in IM2

[Crimson Rage]

Scarlett Johannsen... with red hair... and a Russian accent... shooting big guns...

Oh god, I can't feel my knees. One can only hope for the skin-tight black costume too

wow, was that really 1991?! im gettin old!

Brought me back to earth with a bump too - I went to see THE ROCKETEER at the cinema and loved that film (Jennifer Conelly looked so damn fine too!). It really deserves more recognition.

Didn't like any SPIDER-MAN films, so don't care about #4
Thought IRON MAN was good (but a tad overated in my view), so expect an enjoyable sequal
THOR... Going to be hard to make that work on screen.
Really looking forward to CAPTAIN AMERICA the most though. If it's an 'origin' story then we're going to get some very cool scenes indeed! Hope the RED SKULL is there too.

yep, anything with nazi as the bad guys is good!
the red skull, a nazi with a red skull for a face? how can you go wrong!
there was an ok cap film years ago, red skull looked ok in that but i cant find it anywhere.


my red skull custom:

oh, i heard some stupid rumour about brad pitt as thor.......

[Sundance]

no, no! Brad's supposed to be Cap!

Brad as Cap, SLJ as Fury, Matthew McConaughy as Giant Man, Lucy Liu as Wasp, Downey Jr as Stark and Ed Norton as Banner.

(riffing on the cast in Ultimates)

[Ross SC]

i just dont understand why fury is now bald & black!

[Thundershot]

I've heard tell of a t.v. movie staring David Hasslehoff as Nick Fury, did it ever get made & if it did was he or the film any good?

[Sundance]

because the name 'Nick Fury' sounds like a blaxploitation character, and one that Sam Jackson, the baddest mofo around, should play.

as for the hassellhoff thing, it was a TV movie, yes it was made and it's pretty crap by most accounts.
