As much as I like the Avengers, I have to say I enjoy the New Avengers much more. If they did a story, they should use the story from the first few issues with the prison break. Personally, I think it is one of the most well put together teams in the Marvel Universe. And if they were making a movie down the line, here's who I think should make the cut.
To start is the First Avenger, Captain America/Steve Rogers. There is ALOT of traffic going around for the main role of the iconic character. Of course he has to be young and I have had many ideas for the role but ultimately I think I have to go with Ryan McPartlin from TVs Chuck. I think he looks the part and he will already be donning tights in the upcoming comedy Super Capers as an interesting hero. Plus in Chuck, he is already a captain in the field of awesome.
Next up is the role of Iron Man/Tony Stark. It's Downey Jr...nuff said!
And of course there's Wolverine/James "Logan" Howlett which is obviously Hugh Jackman.
Now for the role of Spider-Man/Peter Parker. Spidey has always been one of my favorite characters and I am glad he finally has a place on an awesome team. I don't mind Tobey Maguire and there was talk of Gyllenhaal taking over the red and blue tights at one time (if he opted out of the franchise), but I think he would be a great fit. He has always been a decent actor and I think he can pull off the witty banter Spidey uses much better than Maguire. In the movies, they don't use it enough. He constantly talks smack while fighting his rogues gallery unless he's is getting the crap kicked out of him.
Next up is Spider-Woman/Jessica Drew. I figure since Fantastic Four in pretty much in the crapper with the original cast, Jessica Alba would be great as the Shield/Hydra agent. She's got the looks and the body for it.
Now for the Sentry/Robert Reynolds. There are alot of actors' names being tossed around for the role of Thor and the two I like are Alexander Skarsgard and Karl Urban. I think if neither of these men had the the hammer wielding god, they could both play a pretty convincing Sentry.
Finally is Luke Cage. I don't like the idea of Tyrese playing the role of cage simply because I just don't see it. I can see Michael Clarke Duncan playing the role too. Cage is a big man and so is Duncan. Plus, I can see him portraying a street tough type of guy. And after some comments about the role, I decided to change it to Common.
There you have it. Feel free to give me some criticism on who you like and don't like and soon to come...part two.
