Some GOTG casting rumors, including H. Jon Benjamin as Rocket Raccoon and The Rock as Drax

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansi...h/news/?a=73443

If anything other than these happen I am going to be one of the most unhappy men on the planet.

Chris Pratt is the best and this is awesome news. If the longshot rumor of H Jon Benjamin doing that raccoon's voice is true too then I'll be there day one.

And The Rock being Drax.

I love the fact Christ Pratt got Star Lord, it fits him perfectly as long as he loses some weight.

Yeah, sorry, I meant in his face. He really was swole as all hell for Zero Dark Thirty, but he still has that chubbiness in his cheeks. I mean honestly if he stays swole but doesn't lose the weight in his face it's not like I'm going to complain.

So hey, to all of you (okay just Rhyno) freaking out about the fact that that article said that Dinklage is playing Puck, looks like they were wrong, and just assumed.

Variety is reporting that he is going to play the film's main antagonist.

gently caress yes.

See: The Green Lantern

There's almost no superhero comics for which this isn't true, though. All I mean is The Mandarin is not a particularly memorable or distinctive character even for people who read comics, they can do whatever they want with the character and almost certainly come up with something better than the character in the comics.

Fraction did a really good job with Mandarin in the Invincible Iron Man Annual #1 that he did, but I never read much of his IIM after that so I don't know if he squandered it or not (he probably did).

Hiddleston apparently loved Kid Loki. I don't think there would be any child actor that could pull it off. Just give Kid Loki's personality to Hiddleston and I bet he can pull it off.

I think Asa Butterfield would be pretty good.

The Rock was also pretty good in Fast 5, and he was the latest addition in an already large cast.

He's easily easily the best part of Pain & Gain, which is saying a lot.

If you're talking about Captain America, apparently they've had to move the shooting onto soundstages right now because of all the people taking pictures.

Some websites are now reporting that they might recast her completely due to the fact Woodley is now involved in some book series' Hollywood adaptations, which would most likely ruin her schedule for ASM3.

So Armie Hammer (The Social Network, The Lone Ranger) visited the set of Captain America 2 the other day, apparently with Edgar Wright, and gave some dodgy answers about being the star of Ant-Man.
http://screenrant.com/armie-hammer-ant-man-captain-america-2/

I'd love to see Armie and Edgar Wright together, this would be pretty great casting. Obviously it's just a lot of silly responses right now, but who knows. He's already started working with Disney for Lone Ranger, maybe he'll get this too.

Deadpool posted:

I said it in the other thread in BSS, but Djimon Hounsou apparently let it slip that Thanos was in GotG according to the reports I read. So that tells me they're probably building him up for Avengers 3.

Also, concept art!

Mockup Chris Pratt Starlord looks awesome.

Wish they had kept the red and brighter yellow in the Nova suit. It looks really bland, when I feel like they should be going all-out with it in this movie.

Devour posted:

The point I was making is that I would have preferred someone with a commanding screen presence to assume the role. Dinklage just doesn't have that, in villainous roles or especially when competing with the likes of Mckellen & Stewart on screen. Given this, the eventual confrontation with Dinklage's character onscreen with said actors will probably fall flat, in terms of tension. We'll see how it turns out, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

This is the most :psyduck:

I've been interested since they put Alan Taylor as the director, and I can definitely see his style in that trailer. I really like some of the shots and the way they're composed; I'm cautiously excited.

See - THAT is how you do a left-field casting choice. Although this makes me wonder if Ultron is going to get laid.

I still think Glenn Close and John C. Reily were further left-field, but this is pretty far out there.

And I like it.

For anyone who missed it, you're not missing much. It's a series of quotes from The Avengers and maybe a handful of other Marvel movies, with a visual revolving around what looks like smashed-up Iron Man armour that slowly reveals itself to be (likely a very rough mock-up of) Ultron's head. It's not all that interesting.

Paul Rudd as Ant-Man in an Edgar Wright movie just sounds loving magical in every way. If I didn't love Marvel Cosmic and James Gunn (and Chris Pratt... and Karen Gillen... and...) I'd say that it's easily my most anticipated Marvel movie.

Winter Soldier trailer looks really solid. I liked Captain America a lot the first time, less so on rewatches, but this one defintely looks like it's going for a more political movie, and it looks like it's doing it pretty well instead of heavy-handing it. I'm cautiously optimistic, but it looks like Marvel might have realized some of the problems in Phase One and are letting the directors do what they have to do to make a good movie, not just an Avengers tie-in.

I can't wait to see Karen "I-shaved-my-head-bald-for-this-part" Gillen in costume. I can't wait for Guardians. It's going to be ridiculous.
