    Robin Shou would also be a good choice.

    Depending on how young they go with Strange John Cho could be rad.

    BD Wong is a great choice though.

    What are the chances of us getting Stephen Chow in this?

    Also how the hell is Stephen Chow 51 years-old?

    I'd had put him at early 30s...

    Benedict Wong could work too but he would have to fulfill his obligation to die in nearly every movie he's in and that might give away what happens in the movie.

    More likely, the article writers don't put up their pictures , and some intern just grabbed the first Captain Marvel off google.

    Speaking of people interested only in site hits, Latino Review has been posting their supposed scoop on the Dr. Strange script a piece at a time. So far it sounds awful, and considering last time they did this was when they claimed Avengers 3 was going to be World War Hulk (before Whedon and Marvel stomped that rumor into the dust), I'm inclined to write them off as full of shit.

    I know that Marvel's been rather capricious about her hair, but this is getting ridiculous.

  • Undead ScottsmanUndead Scottsman Registered User regular
    I put together a list of their exclusive scoops and all but one fell into either "bullshit" or "unconfirmed" categories.

    I need them to make this mistake in reverse now on some news site. Where they talk about Billy Batson, and then talk about he transforms, into a picture of Carol Danvers

    They better add Carol Danvers in soon, before the Avengers becomes too overcrowded.

  • Undead ScottsmanUndead Scottsman Registered User regular
    Eh, as far as we know, Avengers 2 would just have the original cast (six members) plus Falcon. And maybe the GotG will show up, but they won't be official Avengers.

    Avengers 3 is a giant unknown still, Avengers 2 is still like two years off.

    ..good lord, Avengers 2 is only two years off..

    Actually Quicksilver and Scarlet WItch are confirmed in the script for Avengers 2.

    GOD FUCKING DAMMIT. GOD MOTHERFUCKING DAMMIT.

    I knew that, and I was going to mention it, but then I got surprised when I realized how close Avengers 2 really is.

  • CrimsondudeCrimsondude Registered User regular
    You know, the scene of Avengers when Loki arrives at the Dark Energy lab would've been a great place to introduce Carol since it was a joint SHIELD/NASA project.

    "Dr. Lawson" could've been one of Dr. Selvig's associates.

  • Undead ScottsmanUndead Scottsman Registered User regular
    Eh, they've been fairly careful in producing easter eggs that tie into existing plans.

    Then again, there was that map from the Avengers.

    They can introduce Carol Danvers and/or Dr. Lawson in the SHIELD tv show.

    The thing to keep in mind for cameos like that is that they have greater repercussions. Let's say they had put Carol Danvers into that Avengers scene. Well, are they gonna do a Captain Marvel movie soon? Because if not, they've locked themselves in with that actress, and she might get other offers between now and whenever they do decide to go ahead with a movie.

    They locked the kid from Iron Man 3 in for a three movie contract. Disney knows how to work this kind of thing. If there's a chance a character's coming back, they do what makes sense.

    And they've changed actors before.

    even when he's reasonably well-written deadpool is still the least funny character in comics

    As much as I love Dr. Strange, I kinda wonder what the plot for his movie might be. The logical starting villain is Baron Mordo, but he's another kinda boring "the hero but evil" villains. And while Dr. Strange's origin story is a good one, it's also very similar to Tony Stark's, and Strange in general is a lot more interesting as a fully fledged wizard then he is as a novice.

    I suppose Clea would be the love interest.

    I want Oliva Wilde to play Clea in that movie. Dr. Strange could be played by George Clooney.
