Movies: Marvel Cinematic Universe Discussion - Part 4

[Perennial]

Read this article about Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Feige having discussed in passing a role for Johnson in the MCU. The Rock and Kevin Feige Spoke About the MCU This One Time...

Got me thinking, who do you see Johnson playing if he ever did come over? These days he is committed to being Black Adams in the DCEU but maybe down the road.

Ares?
Hercules? He already played a different version of him of course in a stand alone flick
The Thing with CGI and all that?
Luke Cage if the MCU reboots and reuses the character down the line as expected?

Physically, he'd make a great Gladiator, but Kallark isn't exactly known for his sense of humour and outgoing personality... which is what you'd be looking for in a character played by Johnson

I'd like to see Johnson in a Deadpool film, so maybe he could play Bishop?

Dwayne is with DC now though, so I'm assuming it's an exclusive contract

I think he'd make a perfect Ben Grimm. Perfect voice and good for mocapping fights.

He did Jungle Cruise for Disney and that's getting a sequel.

Not a comic/superhero based movie though

Dastmalchian works for both Marvel and DC. It's really not an issue for them, it's just work.

Letitia Wright Reportedly Continues Anti-Vaccine Stance on Black Panther Set

Time to recast?

Wright came under fire in December last year for a tweet in which she shared a video from the self-proclaimed prophet and Christian media producer Tomi Arayomi. Among several other assertions in the video, the man claimed that vaccines produced by China against covid-19 shouldn’t be trusted, cast doubt on human impact on climate change, and said transgender people were “something [he] just technically, biologically [doesn’t] believe in.” Wright initially tweeted the nearly 70-minute video (removed from YouTube for its anti-vaccination misinformation) with a prayer hands emoji, but after facing backlash, tweeted an also-since-deleted defense for doing so. “My intention was not to hurt anyone,” Wright tweeted. “My ONLY intention of posting the video was it raised my concerns with what the vaccine contains and what we are putting in our bodies.” THR notes that, shortly after the backlash, Wright “parted ways” with her American PR team.

I also want to know who this dumbass is:

In August, a high-profile actor was on the set of a film when he came down with COVID-19 and was hospitalized. The star, known to the cast and crew as being dismissive of vaccines and masks, was said to be unvaccinated. The film shut down for three weeks, but not before more than a dozen crewmembers got sick, sources say.

If she is the best actress for the job, I honestly don’t give a fraction of a damn about her stance on vaccines.

she did very well in the first movie and I’d like to see her continue her role. She doesn’t represent my beliefs or endanger my philosophies in any way, she’s merely there for entertainment

 

[Pranzo Oltranzista]

She doesn’t represent my beliefs

Why would it be about you ? Someone has to sign her and have her represent their product.

 

[RandV]

And I'd think work places rules and restrictions are the bigger thing. A film set isn't going to be much different than a pro sports team in this regard.

The chances of MCU casting one of the few Black characters with a non-African American is about zero point zero zero percent.

Why not Beta Ray Bill?

So Dwayne Johnson is not black? Born in California though spent time in New Zealand growing up. His mother is Samoan but his dad is of Irish and Black Nova Scotian ancestry.

And in other entertainment news, rapper Dead Mike has been cast to play Bishop, one of the few black characters in the MCU...





What were the chances they'd cast one of their few male Asian characters with Tilda Swinton?

He is known for...I guess We are the Miller's that I remember him from. Looks like the Maze Runner series though I don't remember him really from that one.
