I think it would be cool to introduce Storm as almost a villain. Separate her from the X-men, at least initially. Have her just be this Goddess who single-highhandedly challenges Wakanda is the number one superpower in the world.

RDJ’s career was in shambles, Chris Evans was in... I know the badly received F4 movies, but I have no idea what else..., they ditched Norton as Hulk after one movie and replaced him with a B-lister. I guess Pratt was famous before GotG, but as a sitcom actor. Their movies are full of big stars, but a lot of them became household names from being in Marvel movies.

(To steal Lainey's rating style) Tessa Thompson and Chadwick is definitely not a "nobody" (especially if you follow black actors), same with Sharon if you watch primetime TV and if by other Spiderman actors you mean Zendaya she was like one of the most teen popular stars ever way before she was cast. Basically every lead they've cast (since the first phase) has already been on the verge of a break out, Marvel just elevated them to what everyone in the industry already predicted. I think yall are confusing "The public has never/rarely heard about these people" with "the industry has never/rarely known about these people" Koalas March fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Feb 22, 2018 |

Maybe, but I still think all of those castings would take them out of the "starfuckers" classification. I wouldn't call any of them a star pre-Marvel even if they did some projects. Most working actors have to have some kind of experience before being cast in a 100 million dollar picture.

Casting B+ to B- list actors is very different from being starfuckers and chasing big names to the detriment of casting, which I would say Marvel doesn't do.

Marvel has pretty much nailed the casting for all their major characters. Calling the studio “starfuckers” because you’ve heard of the people they’re casting before is kind of baseless.

I would say that probably the biggest "let's cast a really well known actor for the role" movie Marvel has done lately is Benedict Cumberbatch for Dr. Strange, which is maybe the closest to Wizard Magazine level fantasy casting they've gone for. I'm not really sure who else I would have tapped for the role off the top of my head tbh.

That's some Wizard Magazine-rear end tone def casting and I think the only huge misstep they've made.

Haha Whedon's been dropped off the Batgirl movie. He says he couldn't figure out a story, it definitely wasn't WB dropping him for being abusive to his wife and a huge toxic mark on a female led tentpole.

Reginald Hudlin was the worst thing to happen to Black Panther in general, and he undid a lot of what was great about the character under Priest's run. They need to avoid referencing his run as much as possible.

Yeah, I don't really feel like Cumberbatch is a bad choice, just not a very "huh I wasn't very familiar with this guy before/didn't think much of him at the time but he's pretty much perfect" choice. I actually didn't think Dr. Strange was as mediocre as a lot of people seem to, I'll admit that his performance there didn't absolutely wow me, but I agree that his cameo in Thor 3 makes me think that he'll do okay in Infinity War.

I haven't read enough Dr. Strange comics to know whether or not Cumberbatch was good for the role. I know I don't like Sherlock, but that's about all I knew him from. The only casting choice mistake I can think of was Weaving as Red Skull and that's just because he hated it so much that he killed Red Skull forever.

I also thought this and it gave me a liiiiittle bit of optimism for the future of the character. It also helped that Waititi is an incredible comedy director. I don't know if it was Cumberbatch's terrible accent, him not mixing with the script, or the direction but I couldn't stand the comedy in Doctor Strange.
