Movie News: Captain America 2

I'm thinking GSP's Batroc will be more of a human special effect then deep character study. I'm hoping they come close to his comic outfit.

Well at least Georges St Pierre is french-canadian so he should be able to pass off ze realistic accent. I'm still shocked that with the depth of Cap's rogue gallery, they pick Batroc for a big screen villain. ugh.

Agreed. Passing over Doughboy is a travesty.

Batroc gets played for laughs sometimes, but it's important to remember that he's a bad-ass fighter who, if he can't beat Cap, can still give him a run for his money.

Concept art from the Phase One boxset gives us our first look at how Falcon and Winter Soldier may look in the film.

I thought Hayley Atwell was a no-go for the sequel (as well as Toby Jones/Zola) the but latest articles list that they are in. I'm not complaining though but it will probably be a flashback if not perhaps Cap meeting her elderly self.

Surprised to see Scarlette Johanson in the cast. I had been led to believe she would no longer be playing Black Widow.

Why would you think that?

I'm happy to see her back ... she's back.

jaydee74

Wait. She's back? I didn't realize she ever left. I kind of like her being in the movie. Makes sense since she's a member of S.H.I.E.L.D. and not to mention we have Winter Soldier. I hope those two interact in some fashion. I love the concept art for the movie and I'm excited to see it when it eventually comes out in the theater.

The stuff I have read, Black Widow serves as Cap's "ambassador" to the modern age.

jaydee74

And that makes a lot of sense although I would have hoped and I guess there is still hope that Sharon Carter would have been that person.

Hex

Falcon is going to steal this movie and make poor Cap look like a chump.

jaydee74

He had the chance to depending on how much he's used in the movie.

Anyone else a little nervous a Cap/Black Widow/Agent 13 love triangle might get thrown in the movie?

jaydee74

Not really. I don't think you're going to see that happen. At least I hope not.

Honestly, I'm not worried about that at all.

Trev

I would guess she is with Winter Soldier based on the book. Or instrumental in turning him to from the other side.

I just hope Brubaker is making out on this.

jaydee74

Well, from what I have heard, they aren't together now with Brubaker's last issue on that series which wouldn't have anything to do with the movies anyway. I would imagine that the cosmic cube might play a part.

I'm still holding out hope that we'll get a Hawkeye & Black Widow movie.

DoctorDoom

Wonder what they'd call it. Solo Avengers?

rebis

You would think Johansson has a big enough name to carry a movie. Why not call it Black Widow?

Doesn't Jennifer Garner have a big name? I think studios are hesitant about doing a female superhero movie. Catwoman, Elektra, the refusal to do anything with Wonder Woman. Granted Catwoman & Elektra weren't well received for several reasons, having the main role a female wasn't one of them. That's not how studios see it.

Did Robert Redford spoil his character and a plotpoint of the movie? In a recent article he had this to say about being cast in the role of S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Alexander Pierce:

The Straits Times

Matt

Could the Secret Empire be involved?!

Trev

I have to say that I am more excited about this movie than any comic book movie coming out this year. Winter Soldier is probably my favorite marvel story line of the last 10 years and Cap is still my favorite Marvel movie.

There better be more red in that Falcon costume or I am gonna freak out
