i think a black widow movie could still be in the cards for post-infinity war mcu esp if capn marvel and the wasp prove female superhero movies do not inherently come out looking like Catwoman

while widow has been around as a character since iron man 2 scarjo is still the youngest actor playing an avenger - if they're lucky enough to make it to the 2020 cosmic cataclysm with its audience alive and eager for more, a small scale movie centered around her would be on point

"what exactly is the problem that he can't fix while Jeremy Renner is still scratching himself and pouring his first cup of coffee"
It's a comedy! Come on! Hancock had all kinds of super powers but he sure got himself into a fix! The answer is obviously GIRL TROUBLE and then you write a bunch of goofy Kevin Smith/Tarantino dialogue where these two bros are elaborately talking about what to do with their love lives while they're punching out Stilt-Man!

If you're gonna do a Wonder Man comedy duo his buddy has to be the Beast like in the late 70s Avengers comics. That can't happen because of rights so fuck Wonder Man.

I still think about Daniel Clowes saying Scarlett Johansson hates comics. She probably just doesn't care about them or finds them a pain to read* but the idea of her really hating them amuses me.
*I recall Tobey Maguire and maybe even Alan Cumming talking about reading comics for research. I wonder if this is suggested to actors because Cumming didn't seem to care for X-Men.

This only happened in mainstream continuity and other origins were possible courtesy of the Forever Crystal of Immortus.[11]

I wonder what A- or B-lister they'll find for Black Bolt, since it will be essentially a non-speaking role? (Minus whatever cinematic/screenplay tomfoolery is employed in the form of voiceover/whatever.)

Vin Diesel would make a completely terrible Black Bolt. Also he is already MCU-employed, he's fucking Groot.
Seriously though did anybody catch Wright in The Bridge as the mumbly, brooding, creepy yet oddly noble Linder? Seriously he'd be a great Black Bolt. I don't know why I'm the only person who understands all my best ideas.

If any single factor should disqualify an actor from playing Black Bolt, it would be an inability to act with his face. I don't feel like that's Vin's strong suit. But if he's able to destroy things with his voice, he might be worth a shot.

They should definitely get somebody either known for never speaking (like Mel Brooks having Marcel Marceau give the only spoken line in Silent Movie) or like a famous big talker, someone Shakespearean.
― Gorefest Frump (Doctor Casino), Friday, 16 October 2015 14:21 (eight years ago) link
I only want Jim Carrey to play Black Bolt if the movie features a recreation of the 'Cuban Pete' scene from The Mask except that his singing obliterates everything around him.

Bearing in mind that Vin spends the entirely of The Fast & The Furious looking incredibly threatening without hitting anyone, I think it would be a good cast.

I was reading another thing where Vin (Mr. Diesel?) was yet again dropping cryptic hints about playing a second Marvel character that wouldn't require the employment of his voice. Someone in the comments suggested that he was talking about Lockjaw.
