It's going to be a pointy red hairband, the whole thing would look really stupid.

If it's Whedon and no one tells him no...hooo boy, lets hope the designers and people making it turn it into something special. I can see it being good if it's kind of a headband that flows back with her hair and a bit understated at an angle than something that stands straight up. If it's someone else making the call we might avoid a Captain America costume fiasco.

The original Cap and the Super Soldier outfit for Cap 2 look great.

It wasn't THAT bad. The helmet just didn't quite work. The rest of the outfit was fine.

It would really be great if the events of New York and then London in the Marvel Cinematic Universe lead to the formation of MI13.


If the Doctor Strange movie is happening, maybe we can expect more Infinity Stones to be introduced then.

Who would play Dr Strange? My favorites are Jeffrey Combs(he already played the role in a movie that lost the license part way through production), Ron Glass(beside being perfect to act the role he's one of Joss Whedon's crew so more likely to be written into the later main movies), or Keanu Reeves(Hollywood loves him, he can grow the perfect beard for the part, and he's really good at looking spaced enough to be in the astral plain.)

Comedy option: Danny McBride(looks like if Dr. Strange was "Sorrrta passed highschool maybe" Strange)

Wasn't Viggo Mortensen attached to play Doctor Strange? I know that was a rumour for a while when Thor 2 was filming.

He would make a amazing Doctor Strange.

Unless he's saying it like they do in CineD, in which case it's as normal as saying "Pain & Gain is better than Man of Steel".

Pain and Gain is a better movie than most superhero movies. It also convinced me that The Rock, in addition to everything else, would be a great Hourman.

Yeah, I'm shocked at how many people like the awkward WW2 costume better. The best he looked in those scenes was the prison rescue sequence with the bomber jacker over the stage costume.

ninja edit: OK, looking back over pictures, instead of my memory, the WW2 one isn't as bad as I remember, but the shoulder pads still bug me.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
Y'know, I think "arrogant douchebag who had things a bit too easy until he got brought down to Earth and humbled and is now basically kind, if a little bit disconnected from all your bullshit" might be in Clooney's range, yes.

I've always thought casting Doom is like casting Darth Vader -- you want the best loving voice possible. I'd go for someone like Benedict Cumberbatch, or hell, James Earl Jones if he's down.

On second thought I wouldn't actually have to see his face so that makes it better.

If he was a bit younger, I reckon Frank Langella could probably pull off full-on comic book Doom.

This is pretty much my exact thought as well. Get a good stunt actor with the right build, and who isn't going to care about having their face covered the whole drat thing, and then cast a professional voice actor to handle the speak-y bits. There's plenty of talented people who could knock Doom out of the park, but wouldn't fit the physical part of the role.

I'm still really sad that Dredd didn't do better, as I'd have loved to see it usher in this idea that a leading actor can have their face covered for the entire film and still pull off a fantastic performance.

I feel like James Purefoy, who you know would be down since he almost played V in V for Vendetta, would nail it. He has a cool voice, and based on Rome, he's great at spiteful ranting.

He's said he's not interested in coming back as Red Skull so I guess he could play Doom too.
