“…unless both Captain America and Thor get two very distinguished directors attached to them. Cap, I can see happening (calling Mr. Spielberg), but Thor?”

Haha, except for it ended up happening the other way around, Thor nabbed itself a Mr. Respectability and Cap got stuck with the guy who did Jurrassic Park 3.

Pitt, Walhberg, Damon. Walhberg is buff enough and can pull off a gritty brooding character very well, which will be needed for the Avengers’ Cap. I could accept any one of these three, Pitt was my first choice back when Troy came out, Walhberg tops my list now. DiCaprio? Maybe BEFORE Rogers takes the serum.

What ever happened to casting bodybuilders for parts (like Arnie for Conan). I mean, who is really going to take these movies seriously anyway? You might as well go for the huge and powerful factor. I hated Superman Returns because what’s his name looked like such a wimp compared to the comic book version of Superman.

So listen, I have 2 names to throw out there for captain america, and Im sure some one on here will have plenty of reasons to shoot my ideas down. But I dont know why I think these 2 could fill the role!
Eric Dane. I know he’s done mostly television acting. But he does have some good movies to his credit, and he’s done some action with Marvel before being cast in X-men 3. (even if the movie kinda sucked) But he’s talented he’s got the kinda boyish good looks that Cap should have. He big enough, and he’s still pretty young.
Bradley Cooper, a great young actor whos stalk just keeps rising. With good movies under his belt so far mostly as a supporting actor, but also some action stuff with the Tv show alias. Hes got the wit, the good looks, and he’s a very capable actor!
Just droppin my 2 scence, and Im seriously curious to hear what you guys think! I just have trouble picturing guys like Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Wahlberg, etc etc etc (names that everyone is throwing around) as a super hero!?

I think that if Marvels wants another hit bring in Brad Pitt as Captain America, one hes already buddies with Edwarn Norton. If someone is to fight Hulk who better than Brad Himself it will be a previsionary Fight Club only better. And Since Marvel casted Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man come on realistically Caps would need an actor that would have fans an non fans crazy. Perfect Example if Captain America makes it to the movie awards etc etc Brad comes out as the winner get awards, directors, etc ect and it has to sell, stay in the box office? then why not?. I vote for Brad Pitt Hands Down.

@hiro. I don’t endorse any of the names you mentioned… well, maybe Pitt. However, A wrestler playing the role is the biggest Joke of all! The actor for Thor WILL be cast as Donald Blake and NOT Thor. Thor will be played mostly by CGI. Have you NOT seen Ironman? Hulk? XMen? Spiderman? Daredevil? Hellboy? Mavel Movies have succeeded for one reason… CGI! CGI give Marvel the luxury of casting the likes of RDJ, Ed Norton, Toby McGuire, etc. To go backward to a “buffed up” actor to play the hero would put the Marvel Movies back 30 years. So as I mentioned about 10 times in this forum, the actors will be cast as Steve Rogers and Donald Blake and not Cap and Thor. Just like Tony Stark, David Banner, Peter Parker… etc.
Also… Brad Pitt… too established? How does that disqualify him? Of the three you mentioned. Pitt would make a good Rogers. Rogers will have to lead the avengers. Who better than Pitt for this? Or do you prefer the great acting of Triple H over Pitt or other real actors? (sarcasm). Marvel WILL go with established actors for these movies… just like they’ve been doing the last 8 years.

Is this a joke? Neither Pitt nor Di Caprio or even matthew mchaoughney for that matter could play Cap or Thor. Leo’s too short, Pitt is too well established in other roles or too recognizable, and Matt accent would ruin it, not to mention he’s not that great of an actor any way. And they might need a wrestler who could actually act to play Thor. Would I rather they find an actor to it, yes. But they need someone to look the part, tall, strong and buffed out. Cap is up for debate, I’d rather see a good actor who is either unknown or not really talked about to play cap and American, I heard rumors that a british actor wanted to Play Captain America.

@PSLifter Dan, Congrats and, Yes (or as we say in Wis., “oh yah”) it is a small Advertising/Graphics/Photography/Digital printing agency. Unfortunately, I don’t have any connections in the Chicago area. But keep plugging along. The 20 somethings lack experience, which is so critical… grrrr, don’t get me going.
Anyway this is a Marvel forum, so shouldn’t we talk about something Marvel?
Just say “No” to wrestlers as Marvel heros! LOL

@Creative Buzz:

This small agency you mention…an advertising agency?

If so, any agency contacts in Chicago?

See, I got my Associates’ Degree in June 2007 at the ripe old age of 45; a two-year degree that took 4 years, 3 kidneystone surgeries, and a bout of the shingles to get (I don’t give up easily!)…besides, I had 20-somethings telling me that I was too old to succeed.

Anyone that’s ever tried to limit me always saw me rise up and shove their limits up their…posterior.

Vic, I’m giving you written permission to pass my email along to him.

@Creative Buzz

Absolutely. That’s why I get so pissed off at people when they say they want Aaron “Two Face” Eckhart to play Cap. I don’t care if he played a villain or not, he’s already been pegged as that character (and in the DCU), he can’t play another major comics character now. He doesn’t fit the part anyway. That’s as stupid as when the suits at WB asked James Franco if he was interested in Green Lantern. Why are all the head honchos always crazy?????

I don’t know the dude that played Aquaman, but no way do you select anyone who recently played a DC hero. That would be like my beloved Brett Favre paying for the Bears. Going to NY was bad enough, but Packer fans could not have stomached him going to Chicago. Same with Marvel Heroes… You can not have any actor going from DC to Marvel and vise versa.

@dwayne

The guy who played Aquaman on Smallville would be a terrible Cap.

Thanks for the info Buzz! Too far for me to proposition you for a job! =)
I am in Dallas, TX. After a debilitating hot and humid super-summer, we are experience some cold, but nothing like it is back where I was born and raised in Connecticut. We did get a snowstorm last March 7th! The first in several years. I moved, partially, to get away from shoveling snow which I have been doing since I was 5! THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY BUZZ! ~It would be interesting to find out where the other fanboy and fangirls are from!

It was General Eiling, voiced by J.K. Simmons actually. He did a good job in previous episodes until he had to voice the mutant alter ego lol I’ve watched the show so many times that I can now recognise any guest actor doing the voices, from a major supervillain to a minor superhero. It was just a show too damn good.

By: Ironman2You

Ironman2You — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 13:49:11 +0000

I could have bet that it WAS Hulk Hogan, though I wasn’t sure. The part was a general who injected himself and turned into a comperable foe and nearly beat everyone on the streets of the city. The voice-over was so bad, and the voice so like H.H., I was almost certain. Either way the voice actor was horrible. All I could think of to dismiss the choosing of a wrestler to play ANY part. Thanks Risa for the correction.

@ Ironman2You

Hulk Hogan was never on any episode of JLU. You’re obviously thinking of someone else.
