Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I never understood why people seem so obsessed with how much or how little of any particular film is improvised. My default view is that more improvisation often leads to more messy, unfocused films, but that's not always true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Yeah you'd think with the Thor films, the latest Transformers, and WestWorld, Hopkins was really padding out his retirement fund. But really it seems that he just never wants to stop working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point he was considered a very serious actor. Walken didn't have a "persona" so to say, until after he started to willingly "parody" himself on SNL and the likes.

When Chris Evans will decide to stop playing Captain America, will the next actor to portray the character will be a Brit? Not sure if Idris Elba counts as Heimdall. Aaron Taylor Johnson also played Quicksilver. And Sophie Turner is playing Jean Grey. Nicholas Hoult plays Beast. Ben Hardy plays Archangel. Not sure if James McAvoy counts as British. And Tom Hardy will be Venom soon. And Michael Rooker plays Yondu. Ioan Gruffudd is a Welsh actor and he played Mr Fantastic in Tim Story's FF films. Matthew Goode played Ozymandias. Ray Stevenson played the Punisher in 2008 film. Also I don't think Peggy Carter was British in the comics. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Oh for sure, he's just showing his ignorance. People who are passionate about comics obviously know there's a difference in tone, approach, and types of stories told. What's refreshing is an actor in a comic book movie not paying insincere lip service to "the fans" or faking that he gives a shit about the source.

Arpy 4,145 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 After watching Homecoming I felt that they made a good choice not going with the regular villains (not treading on familiar ground) and thought if they ever did Venom, how would they make him interesting in a post Avengers universe, and without Spider-Man? Now that you have an expanding universe of aliens and different dimensions, the future Marvel films need to do their darndest to make the audience invest in extra-terrestrial shenanigans again. Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor Ragnarok could get away with the sheer wackiness and alien diversity through its campiness, humour and tone, but something like Venom can only be a serious, almost R-rated fare. Which leads me to ask, how do you make a Venom film without the groundwork of Spider-Man as a character and a world to make us invest in a kind of silly villain in their own film?
