I personally would prefer to see Whedon direct something like MI-13. The subject of science and magic that MI-13 constantly deals with fits better with the style of shows that Whedon likes to be involved with.

I just remembered who I thought Jennifer Garner would be great for. I've thought for a while now that she'd be a great fit for the Sensational She-Hulk.

I'm not with you there. She Hulk is much curvier and sexier. I'm thinking Doira Baird with green skin.

I can't help but feel that She-Hulk would be an incredibly hard character to pull off in live action. They probably wouldn't go the CGI route, so they'd have to get an actress who has a bit of a muscular build, and a bit of height. But they'd also need to convincingly play a mousy Jen Walters.
I agree, She-Hulk would be tough simply because you hve to have the same face on two very different bodies. It'd be tough to make it look natural. That said I can't see them ever including her in a film unless they do an Hulk 2, which is unlikely.

Really, you'd need to do what Avatar did with the carefully produced CGI people. Which isn't likely to happen on a movie that isn't guaranteed to make a quadrillion.

Hmm...I dunno. They did giant blue people quite well, a singular giant green woman shouldn't be too hard. If She-Hulk looked like one of the Na'vi from Avatar, I think it would rock as a movie.
I think the problem is that the Na'vi were something that no one had any mental reference for, so if they looked a little funny, nobody noticed. But if you're trying to make a life-like CGI woman, you're going to risk going into uncanny valley territory at best, or make something totally unrealistic at worst.
I think the Hulk worked as CGI because he's basically a big, anatomically impossible cartoon character, and people still complained that he didn't look life-like or realistic. With She-Hulk, a character who's not supposed to be super-exaggerated, I think it'd only be more difficult to pull off.
If you saw Iron Man 2 (and it sounds like most of you did), you are now aware that Howard Stark isn't just a footnote of Tony Stark's backstory, but a character who is going to play a part in the history of the Marvel movieverse. You're going to see him again in Captain America: The First Avenger, but as of now we don't know who will play him? Many fans were hoping John Slattery would be reprising the role, though word is now spreading that Dominic Cooper is apparently in the running for the part.
Or at least Salon thinks he is. They caught up with Cooper at Cannes, and they mention he's being tipped to play young Howard Stark in Captain America. The wording leaves it unclear whether he's officially signed, or merely in the running. Cooper doesn't even mention it during the course of the interview, but presumably did once the camera was turned off.
Those of you who remember the tiniest details of the casting process may remember that Cooper was up for the part of Fandral, one of the Warriors Three in Thor. He lost that part to Stuart Townsend, who promptly lost the part to Joshua Dallas days before filming began. Could Salon have just been mistaken, and misremembered old Marvel news? Or did Marvel keep his name on a "To Cast In Something" list, as they have with many of their actors and actresses, and offered him the part of the senior Stark? I suspect the latter. I'll be sad to see Slattery go (a little hairdye and make-up, and I think he'd be fine), but Cooper's a good actor, and certainly looks like he could have fathered Robert Downey Jr. We'll know soon, as Captain America goes before cameras next month.

From some interview via Empire Magazine
On Playing More Than One Superhero:
"I don't think Fantastic Four has anything to do with Scott Pilgrim or anything to do with The Losers. The only thing Captain America and Fantastic Four have in common is that they're both comic book movies. I think if you had played a doctor in a movie seven years ago, does that mean you're never going to play a doctor again?"
On The Differences Between Robert Downey Jr's Tony Stark And His Captain America:
"Robert did such an amazing job with that role, but the role was a certain way. I don't think Steve Rogers has the swagger and the attitude and the moxie that Robert brought to Tony Stark. I think there's going to have to be a different approach."
On Changing His Hair Colour For The Role:
I don't know if I'm going to go blonde! I have no clue. This is all so fresh."
On The Movies Script And Reading The Comic Books:
"I've read the script and I've got an idea based on all that, but in order to make sure the true fans are happy and satisfied, I have to start reading some comic books in order to get an idea of who this guy is and where he came from, before I can start building the character."
On The Fantastic Four Reboot:
"Am I happy about that? I'm almost indifferent! No, I had a lot of fun playing Johnny Storm - I really did. Human Torch followed me around. Little kids are amazing - they can spot me in a crowd. I can have a beard, I can have a hat, I can have sunglasses on and they'll pick me out!"
The First Avenger: Captain America is set to be released on July 22, 2011.

They just need to get someone who's naturally muscular, like Chyna or some other female wrestler, and use the same technique that they used in Big Fish to make her that much bigger. The giant guy in Big Fish was pretty believable.

My only concern would be whether or not the actress can sell the shift in personality, especially given how almost every female role in comic book films has been miscast*. Physical differences are secondary.
*Alba, Dunst, Ackerman, Berry...
The only casting decisions I've really liked are Paltrow as Pepper Potts and Jannsen as Jean Grey.

Ackerman I thought was pretty spot on in Watchman if only just a bit of a lame performace with emotes.
He first produced a zombie that he's working on for THE WALKING DEAD - I haven't seen any of KNB's work for this VERY anticipated show from AMC and Darabont. Any concern about this show not adapting the more ghoulish aspects of THE WALKING DEAD. Well, I haven't seen such an awesome cadaverous Zombie since RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD or... even LIFEFORCE. Only... this was mixed with more "wet" than either of those. We're talking very cool work here. The glimpse raised my already high expectations. Can't wait to see what Frank does with this - and hopefully we'll get some glimpses to share with you shortly!
I really hope this all comes together this year. Any word if the series will be kept black and white like the comic?
Its not the dialogue, its that I have to wait for a month just to read what seems like 10 pages of plot about a party. It just takes forever to see small things happening.
But he needs to explain in word balloons what exactly a person is doing on the panel just in case we don't see what is going on.

One particularly nauseating example is in Invincible, when the title character gets a new costume, and his tailor (or whatever the hell they call guys who make superhero costumes) spends a panel and a half describing what's different with the new suit and why he made the changes.
It's like they just took commentary notes from the character designer and slapped it into the page as "dialog".
Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye in The Avengers Rumor Resurfaced
Marvel's ultimate clash, The Avengers, has been getting a lot of buzz lately, regarding the additionally cast members, other than Robert Downey as Tony Stark, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Chris Evans as Captain America, and Chris Hemsworth as Thor. News recently broke that actor Kevin Pennington may be tackling the role of Captain Marvel, but has yet to be confirmed.
Now an old casting rumor has rise yet again, coming from Aint It Cool News (Harry Knowles). His possibly solid source says that Jeremy Renner has gone from the Bomb Squad in Iraq to possibly the AVENGERS as the character of HAWKEYE.
Jeremy Renner have previously stated he and The Avengers writer, Zak Penn, had discussed the potential role of Hawkeye for Avengers, but immediately followed that it was just talk, and nothing is official. Like Harry from AICN, take it with a grain of salt, for now.
Certainly has the look.

No he doesn't have the look, he can't make a brown eyed girl turn blue.

His Astonishing X-Men run was great, and each character in it had their own unique voice.
He does great work with ensemble casts, and I think he would be great for Avengers.
Watch Firefly and Serenity first before judging him.

But that may have just been because she's Jennifer Connelly.
Also, why no love for Kirsten Dunarrgghhh I can't finish it I cant.
Jennifer Connelly makes everything excellent.

No really, he's awesome at planting plot scenes and tension, but good God does he need an editor for the dialog.

You can't just tell people how you feel and what you are doing Texiken, it lacks subtlety. That makes me feel angry.

ROBOT DEVIL! Robot devil from futurama... Aaaah, took me like ten fucking minutes to remember where that quote was from. And that made me angry.

He's also 39 years old, Hawkeye should be an upstart.
SWS FTW, OMG.
I really dont care who plays him, its not like he will have a major role or ever get his own film.
Or at least I hope not, it may lead to a Green Arrow film.
Because in real life that tends to get him kicked out of the YMCA.
