Don't be so quick to judge

FIST BLOCK!

YOU ARE AN OLD MAN AND A FOOL! (Superguy I mean.) Name one person more similar to Hal Jordan than Ryan Reynolds.

Majestically fails? So it will fail with great dignity? Or are you just trying to use big words to make your constant bitching sound like it has a point? It's well documented you prefer Marvel.

And recommending Qunito for Hal Jordan is equal to suggesting Christopher Walken for Squirrel Girl.

Keaton as Batman, Reeve before he beefed up, and Downey as Stark.

Look I have my doubts about Reynolds, Hemsworth, and Evans, too. Jackman as Wolverine is good, but if he were shorter he would not only be closer to the character's attributes but seem even more dangerous. You also wouldn't need a seven-foot tall Sabretooth.

I agree with the author, we should just chill until we see them...the real problem is the internet. People are sitting in the security of their homes (or basements) and use attack mentality because they can only be answered with keystrokes.

When they cast Tobey Maguire as my favorite character, I simply skipped watching any of his movies (I hadn't seen any previously) until the first movie was released.

I think we should all be more concerned how they translate characters and realms rather than the individual actors. I'm very worried about Asgard in the 'real' Marvel cinema world. I'm very worried about the removal of Nazis from WWII in "Captain America." Since I'm not a billionaire, I will wait a day or so after release, listen to reviews and other people think, then go. It's all you can do.

@marvelguy thank you. When I wrote this article I was concerned that these arguements would arise
@Ibz when was that confirmed?

it was reported on CBM exclusively aswell lol, obviously there not going to be the main focus of the movie but they are there, hydra hasnt replaced them, hydra is a agency of the nazi army which will eventually split from the nazis in the movie because red skull has much more crazier goals then hitler, which all sounds good to me, all of this info is in EW magazine that covered cap

I know I've gone on record as complaining about Andrew Garfield for Spiderman, but it's not about the actor playing the role. It's about the progression of the franchise.

I have no doubt that most actors can portray our beloved characters. I don't think Clooney and Kilmer are such bad actors that they ruined Batman, but rather the direction/writing of those films were so bad that they weren't any good either. Now I do think it is important not to just pick a flavor of the week, such as Clooney or Afleck.

Congrats on your first editorial, Wadepool! I, too, try to keep an open mind. I have no problem with CBM's casting unknown or obscure actors for their characters. (Robert Downey Jr was frown upon by a lot of people when he was cast as Tony Stark.)

I do think Ryan Renolds only got GL because of his name draw, which may or may not pay off. And I was really opposed to Chris Evans being cast as Captain America. (Hasn't he been typecast as too many superheros already?)

But it's more than just the actors. The directors, producers, and casting agents chose these people for a reason. If everyone does their jobs, they can deliver to us, the fans, what we're hoping for. Egos aside, assuming the film is produced and directed with integrity, any actor could be a surprisingly good fit for a superhero role.

Nice article...Keaton was THE sh!t as Batman!

Bales nearly there but Keaton wins hands down! :)

Ryan Reynolds is Hal Jordan. Anyone who disagrees can eat lutefisk.

BMP!

I will agree with you wade. Its not just the actors that make the movie; it is also the story and way that it is all put together in the end. I have to admit that when I heard that Chris Hemsworth was playing Thor I was like who? Now that I have seen the trailer and things on the movie I can say that I think he was the right choice.
