No, Mary's actress can play Batwoman and ScarJo can play Mary.

Mahershala Ali called Marvel and said "hey I'm Blade now" so there is that.

muscles like this! posted:Although I do kind of wonder, how often does an actor publicly campaigning for a character actually work out? The most successful actor driven campaign is probably Ryan Reynolds and Deadpool, where he even got a scene produced and released as a teaser trailer and went viral, and the reception got producers onboard with a crazy project with unlikely success they otherwise wouldn’t have touched with a ten foot pole. The saddest has to be Nic Cage’s lifelong pursuit of the part as Superman.

Ryan Reynolds was Deadpool in 2009. And that footage was video game test footage, it wasn't live action.

X-Men Origins had killed any prospect of a Deadpool movie cold, so Reynolds went to work trying to revive it, and he worked his rear end off for it. After Green Lantern, his career was basically dead so yeah he had to lobby like crazy to win back a role he'd already had and then seemingly lost.

I don't deny any of that but the previous post was quite inaccurate. He had still already been Deadpool which is the only reason people were so hype for the idea.

The character was already played by him in that Wolverine movie and universally hated, and he STILL got it made. The question was if any actor campaign for a part had ever been successful, and I think RR did the god tier of actor campaigns, by not only running a campaign for a part in an existing project, but campaigning for the project itself to be put into motion under his creative control.

The Lord Bude posted:What happened to make this show more dangerous vs Arrow? It isn't. It just happened to have a pair of more serious injuries only one of which was stunt related. Pretty much every action series has its share of stunt injuries, Ruby just got extra unlucky, and that PA that had a lift or crane or whatever dropped on her even more so since she did end up paralyzed. Even Amnell had a fairly serious injury early when they were doing more jumping off of roofs

Kate Kane is NOT being recast! quote:There won't just be a new face under the cowl when Batwoman returns next year — there will be an entirely new character. Of course this has its own share of problems, like where is Kate going and how are they going to explain her quitting being Batwoman?

So I wonder what the chances are that Ryan Wilder is a placeholder name. I guess they could bring in a Bat family character who hasn't necessarily been Batwoman before. I guess this also leaves the door open for Ruby Rose to return at some point, even as just a small recurring part. That's fairly nice on the showrunners part. Of course, recasting Ruby might post some other contractual hurdles which might just be easier avoided.

I mean if you’re removing the character all together; how does that flow to the rest of the show? It’s hugely personal - Alice is Kate’s sister; her dad just tried to kill her, etc. you’d have to basically scrap the whole show.

Are there any shows that completely pivoted with a main character change after the first season? Not a recasting of that character (which has happened in numerous shows, usually in later seasons), like a brand new main/lead character. The only one I can think of is Babylon 5. Lethal Weapon is close, but that was after season 2.

He’s the only character who isn’t tied to Kate romantically or famililialy. Alice could probably stick around to be a perennial thorn in the new Batwoman’s side, but Mary, Jacob, and Sophie are probably going to get blown out an airlock now.

It's a weird decision, but I hope they come at it with more nuance than Ryan showing up and Luke and Mary are just "oh hi we're your support staff now."

If Alice is still a going concern then Jacob and Mary both still have a reason to be around what with her killing Katherine and all that, but yeah, ditching Kate pretty much blows up the premise of the show and makes the entire first season pointless.
