How do you pronounce his last name? Is it "Mo-Die-En" or "Moh-Deen"?

Ahem...

Modine: “And if we’re talking actor – mano a mano – sorry downey – bale destroys you in less than one round.”

Modine: “me too-not interested in avengers. #batman ala Nolan is dark and human. relatable. avengers is cartoon fantasy-nice kid flick”

Modine: #DKR’s has annie hathaway. her get-up, piping-hot @ she’s got high kicks and a bad ass motorbike. what’s scarlett got?”

Modine: “it would take 6 #Marvel characters to beat one #DC character”

Modine: “batman would tear off ironman’s head and s**t down his neck. well, actually B. Wayne wouldn’t, because he’s got real class.”

Difference is: RDJ is not asking DC for a role now.

@TheGambitFreakIsBatmanOfCBM

He's kind of right about the Avengers/Batman, though.

I loved the Avengers because it was a 'cartoon fantasy-nice kid flick'.
Come on, let's not pretend it was high art, or even 'deep'.
It's Marvel/Disney. They infuse comedy into all of their films these days.
Some of them look like straight up comedies.

Batman was dark. Avengers wasn't. He's not wrong.

The rest of what he said sounds like he was joking around.
Who in their right mind would take any of that seriously?

@nailbiter111

Modine is a VERY cool guy.
He's actually very down to earth, and not merely pretending to be.
Most celebrities do that for show. Modine is an awesome guy.

It's part of the reason why I don't see him as Strange.
Modine isn't dark, brooding, or moody.
He doesn't even project any of that in my mind.
It would be hard for me to see him as Doc Strange because he always comes across as the 'nice guy'.

It's nice that he wants to play Strange though.
I don't blame him for wanting to do that.

He doesn't have any star quality...maybe if we go back 20 years, he'd be a relevant actor.
