There have been very strong suggestions that Vin Diesel will be playing Black Bolt. I hope the suggestions are wrong.

Black Bolt should be played by Jason Statham.

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.

Is Black Bolt wrestler-sized? I thought he was a generically-superhero, not massive.

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.

so you're saying Jim Carrey should play Black Bolt
― I Am Curious (Dolezal) (DJP), Friday, 16 October 2015 14:20 (eight years ago) link
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.

I just can't believe I'm reading a bunch of casting recommendations for black bolt regarding a movie that will actually likely be made
― da croupier, Friday, 16 October 2015 14:34 (eight years ago) link
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.
― Andrew Farrell, Friday, 16 October 2015 15:23 (eight years ago) link
truly what could be more astonishing than people online fantasy casting a speculative comic book moviewait, iirc that might be the entire purpose of the internet

Apparently!

in case anyone else is lost, my surprise is that the movie is actually (likely) happening, not that people are imagining who'd play a superhero

i just read it twice more and i get it now

(though the movie still might not happen - VenomCarnage and Fantastic Four 2 were once posted in five-year-plans too)
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.
― Don't Call Me A Lunkhead, You Dingbat! (Old Lunch), Friday, 16 October 2015 19:57 (eight years ago) link
i would pay matinee prices to see that

looks smaller scale than I expected, which is probably good?

definitely a direct continuation of the second one anyway, rather than Avengers 2.5

I feel like I just saw the whole movie, too bad.

Ryan Coogler is directing Black Panther and Taika Waititi is directing Thor, so I guess I'll be watching at least two more of these things.

Huh, totally missed that they're moving forward on a "Damage Control" TV spin-off.

Taika Waititi has got to be the oddest choice for one of these I've heard. I wonder if Thor movie will be a pseudo-doc about Asgard...

Also a Mockingbird spin-off (probably limited a la Agent Carter) and supposedly another sitcom-y show alongside Damage Control on ABC. And possibly a Netflix Punisher show.

we should start a "which Marvel show or movie will be the tipping point" thread except it's more likely that DC will overdo it first and flip the table for everyone
― Copy rights, pleasing all star wars fans, hiring professionals. (forksclovetofu), Monday, 18 January 2016 15:28 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, I'm amazed at this point that Marvel has yet to seriously stumble and that most of what they've put out has been really solid.
― Professor Bworlph (Old Lunch), Monday, 18 January 2016 15:44 (eight years ago) link
Although the sitcoms admittedly make me wary.

"not much odder than the Russo brothers really"
I think it's much odder than the Russo brothers. Those guys are professional Hollywood types.

Branagh choice seemed odder for him, until he followed it up with Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit.

Advertised "From the director of Thor!" so good tactical move, I guess.

I guess. He wrote the script for this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moana_(2016_film) anyway so I guess Disney are high on him

“There’s a little bit of Midnight Run, with Grodin and De Niro,” Ruffalo told Empire. "I feel like that’s kind of where we’re heading with this relationship between Thor and Banner.” So is it a road movie? “It is a universal road movie – that’s where we’re heading,” he says, adding cryptically: “It’s not where you'd think it will be, so it’s not your classic road movie but it has that structure, I think."
