Bruce Campbell is famous enough, though, right?

...

_Right?


AdolfOliverPanties: Most people know him as that guy from Castle.

Also, this.

It's not as if Castle's an obscure show.

SilentStrider: Diogenes: AdolfOliverPanties: Nah. Most people know him as that guy from Castle. He's gotten more exposure from that than from Firefly.

If he was going to be in an Avengers movie, he'd have to drop some of the bloat he's picked up over the past few years of cushy TV work.

As Hank Pym, wouldn't he first have to star in Edgar Wright's Antman movie in order to make the crossover to The Avengers franchise?

They didn't all have "origin" movies. Although Widow did some time in Iron Man, and Hawkeye a brief appearance in Thor. At this point I think they could introduce a new character without their own origin movie, while also not diluting the main movie with excessive backstory and character development.

I'd love to see if they somehow introduced the Maximoff twins, and if they'd somehow at least manage to work in some connection with the X-Men.

Judging by the teaser during the credits to The Avengers, I would not be surprised in the least if this happened. I mean, how do you have *spoiler redacted* without at least a little bit of X-Men?

I'll eat my hat if that ever gets made.

Much as I'd like to see it, I'd rather him finish his "Blood and Ice Cream" trilogy.

I'm not sure Thor could deal with the hammer envy, and by hammer I mean.....

As much as I love and adore him, I did like that the Whedon regs didn't show up in Avengers. I would love Amy Acker in a lab coat in a SHIELD scene though.

He could be Vision or something....

I didn't want to be the one to say it, but dude's gotten a little chunky.

I don't see him as Antman. I've just seen the Firefly stuff but he doesn't come across as a guy that could spout a lot of techno-jargon and make it sound believable. Did a little bit in Firefly because of the setting, but I couldn't see him playing Pym.

Now, he could totally pull off Wonder Man.

Adam Baldwin could do something.

"Nathan Fillion's not famous thin enough to be in Avengers sequel," says Nathan Fillion

BalugaJoe: He could be Vision or something....

Nah, that's why they killed Phil Coulson off.

/spoiler for those who haven't seen Avengers yet, I guess.

Get a better toupee springs to mind.

Nathan Fillion as Thanos.

Especially if it's clumsy, easily defeated, led-away-in-handcuffs-by-police Thanos:

Right?

He was in two.. or was it three.. Spider-Man movies in various rolls. That right there should allow him to be someone awesome in the Avengers.

I was waiting for the kid to negotiate the return of the cube in exchange for a Hostess fruit pie.

One would hope!

Assuming that Burn Notice doesn't shackle his hands like it did for Drag Me to Hell, of course.

Uzzah: I was waiting for the kid to negotiate the return of the cube in exchange for a Hostess fruit pie.

HAHAHAHAH

Good lord, that's about right, ain't it?

If Whedon makes Thanos a horrible klutz, I'll forgive him for callously killing off [insert character killed by Whedon here].

Just who could Bruce Campbell best be. That is the question. He is incredibly talented in his acting. Very versatile as far as I can tell. So who would be a superhero match for him.

Huh. Watched that movie twice and the whole time I thought it was him playing Hawkeye and not whoever that guy was that really played Hawkeye. Wonder why I didn't notice that before?

Fillion has been rumored for the role of Ant-Man, a founding member of The Avengers, for a while now

See i have one problem with this, Hank Pym was a ginourmous D-Bag. Wouldn't want him to play that particular part because i would be afraid he would get shiate all over himself.

FabulousFreep: Fillion has been rumored for the role of Ant-Man, a founding member of The Avengers, for a while now

The last thing I heard about the Ant-Man project was that there's a script featuring both Pym and Lang, with the Pym part being mostly a 60s-ish origin story flashback. Which, if that actually had a chance of being made -- and made before Avengers 2 -- chances of integrating Pym into the mainstream story line would be pretty small.

The sad thing is that for once Whedon's penchant for vapid skinny actresses would actually work, regarding Jan van Dyne.

Just give Fillion a peanut gallery baddie role. Something the Avengers (or just one of them) casually flips into a wall while the main plot is developing. Or a random "Master" of Evil (Whirlwind? Grey Gargoyle?).

He would be a perfect Shield extra. Make him a bridge bunny, or an agent who humorously gets his ass kicked by the baddies before the Avengers sweep in. Just put him in a suit, give him one scene and a few lines, and there would be nerdgasams.

/I would be having them.

Mentat: So a 10 year old kid grabs the comic cube and uses it to tie up Thanos?

And cops haul Thanos off, yeah. Pretty much.


Mentat: I think it's more likely that Mary Jane would suddenly grow 34DD's.

If Russ Meyer directed Marvel films, that would be more of a possibility...


FabulousFreep: See i have one problem with this, Hank Pym was a ginourmous D-Bag. Wouldn't want him to play that particular part because i would be afraid he would get shiate all over himself.

I *think* Fillion could pull that off without much of a struggle.

*thinks on that*

ALL OF THEM.

Eddie Murphy that jazz!

(Not including the female roles, naturally.)

Doesn't matter. Still gorgeous.

I'm not saying I wouldn't want to look like him. I'm just saying I'm jealous of his success and good looks.

Come on.. He can pull that off. He did in Firefly and Serenity. He would make a real passable lady. Plus, Comedy gold right there.

Ah yes... Spidey Super Stories... published by Marvel, but featuring a supporting cast from the Electric Company. So full of great cheese!

Nah, let Wash be a SHIELD pilot and the fans will spend the entire moving waiting for him to be impaled.

I thought we were still talking about Bruce Campbell?

Although Bruce Campbell *did* play Autolycus disguised as a woman in one of the Hercules/Xena shows.



Majikthise: Ah yes... Spidey Super Stories... published by Marvel, but featuring a supporting cast from the Electric Company. So full of great cheese!

Heh! See, THAT'S the stuff that needs to get made into movies!

Hell, the next Thor movie should be about his quest for Hostess snack cakes or somethin'.

You have to have a Hank Pym movie for the following reasons:

1) You need to explain Hank's issues with Janet

2) You have to let Hank redeem himself.

There's no doing that with Hank in the time constraints of Avengers 2

Easy.

Today:
Hmmm... Maybe Ben Urich? Henry Peter Gyrich? Bolivar Trask? He's not exactly svelte these day, you know. I love Bruce, but he's not really in the age category to play most Marvel or DC characters...

Except, I think he'd be pretty cool as one of the Justice Society.

I would like to see a District 9 sequel.

Sorry, I was thinking of Nathan Fillion. Yes, I know hes from Hercules and Xena. As well as his short lived series The Prince of Thieves.

yves0010: As well as his short lived series The Prince of Thieves Jack of all Trades.

I presume that's what was meant.
