Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

The writer of Sinister took a pass at the Doctor Strange Script.
He's also done some novels.

Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectI still hope that they don't go for Von Diesel for the role as Black Bolt. I want an actor, who can really act with facial expressions and mostly his eyes alone. My favourite would be Matt Bomer, but everyone, who has something close to his abilities would work.
But then, I also hate the idea of Emily Blunt as Captain Marvel.
Emily Blunt is awesome. She can be an Action Girl, or she can bring great drama and intensity on screen, and even humor.
My actual casting idea would probably be...
hm...
hang on....
Oh wait
My answer is the same as it always is
Motherfucking BRIENNE OF TARTH.
Gwendolyn Christie.
My various fanfics.She's who I was thinking of for the hypothetical female!Thor (that's not Jane Foster).
Hmm. I'm conflicted about her. Like she's a good actress and seems like a great person but I almost wonder if she's too tall/imposing (not sure a better way to put this). Like as with the Ronda Rousey suggestion (although Christie can act) I have the problem that this is someone who starts out looking like a warrior as opposed to a normal (albeit athletc) person who is then Touched by Vorlons.
I know this sounds needlessly picky and I'm sure I'll like whoever gets the role assuming Marvel doesn't end up cancelling the movie.
I'd be fine with Michelle as Female!Thor.
Also, for a less-imposing Carol, my first thought is always Samantha Wright. I really doubt she can act and they'd never cast her in a jillion years....
BUT SHE'S SO CUTE AND JACKED.

I'll only accept Rick Jones if somehow he saves the day through ham radio enthusiasm as Tony Stark sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose, wondering what his life has become.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersModernizing tech and science and media for adaptations is for the weak.
They'd better say 'transistors' a ridiculous number of times whenever Iron Man is on screen in Civil War or I will continue to spend money to watch these movies.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersKurt Russell is reportedly in talks to play Star-Lord's dad.
This needs to happen. Amazing casting choice.

Sing the song of sixpence that goes burn the witch, we know where you liveOh yeah. Perfect. And I'd assume most likely a Starfox flavored dad, although he could just as convincingly be a grim J'Son.
Edit- Or a bit of both. Come to think of it, like Jeff Bridges as Stane, he'd be well suited to play a character who seems friendly and genial but is really a bad guy.

RE the discussion of Black Bolt, the idea I had was him mostly communicating like telepathically and have it so that he doesn't open his mouth but other characters hear him with a slight reverb. And then have the rare scene where he talks and stuff happens.
On a related note, if/when the MCU gets a telepath, I want them to do what has been done through Jean Grey in the comics- have them communicate with Groot through telepathy and they'd "hear" him talking in an extremely eloquent and philosophical manner.
