alive she cried Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 New thread for new characters. http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/BatFreak/news/?a=67256 Anthony Mackie Talks CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER Speaking with News Day, actor Anthony Mackie (The Hurt Locker, The Adjustment Bureau) discusses his recent casting as Sam Wilson/The Falcon in Marvel Studios' highly anticipated sequel Captain America: The Winter Soldier. He gives a run down of the character's biography, and reveals that it's a "huge honor" for him to be portraying the first African-American superhero in mainstream comics as well as being somebody that his son, nephews and nieces could idolize. For News Day's full interview with Mackie (in which he discusses the impact that The Hurt Locker has had on his career, among other things), click the link below. "I’m playing the Falcon. He’s this guy in Harlem who moved to California and became a drug dealer. His plane crashed, and he was genetically altered, and he can fly, has telepathic powers. He’s the first African-American superhero. It makes me feel all the work I’ve done has been paying off. I have a son, nephews and nieces, and I love the idea that they can dress up as the Falcon on Halloween. They now have someone they can idolize. That’s a huge honor for me."

Reverend Jax Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Wikipedia is also saying the Falcon was the first African-American superhero in mainstream comic books, and I thought "wasn't Black Panther before the Falcon?" I checked and I was right; Black Panther debuted in 1966, and the Falcon in 1969. Then I realized, Black Panther is black, but he's not African-American, he's just African.

The NZA Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 we know they're not recasting him though? i guess Marvel's been better about this, outside of Hulk. (sorry if this is a known thing, havent been following this) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panch Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I don't see why they would. The guy was good and he isn't a high profile actor so it's not like he's gonna demand a ton a money for being him. Short of something tragic, I see him as Bucky/Winter Soldier.

The guy was good and he isn't a high profile actor so it's not like he's gonna demand a ton a money for being him. Short of something tragic, I see him as Bucky/Winter Soldier. It's possible they WANT a high profile actor. Maybe they felt Captain America underperformed because of a lack of appealing star power. The Iron Mans had solid star power (Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges, Terrance Howard, Scarlett Johansen, Mickey Rourke...remember that RDJ was considered washed up before the first IM), Thor had Anthony Hopkins and Natalie Portman. Captain America's biggest name were Tommy Lee Jones and Hugo Weaving, and neither of them are really enough to attract mainstream interest, and they won't be back in the next one anyway. Chris Evans hasn't really become really popular off his Marvel role the way Chris Hemsworth has (or RDJ, but with him it was a come back). Hemsworth I think has the star power to carry a film with his name, Evans does not. Maybe they think they need a hot name to create excitement over Captain America 2? Now, I think Cap's movie was just as good as Thor's, arguably better. It did almost exactly as much business in the US with a worse release date, and weaker international interest is to be expected with a movie called Captain America, but I think the phenomenon that was The Avengers is a game changer for the Cap brand overseas, so I doesn't think they need to bring some name in to boost up the profile of a sequel. Moving it up from it's April 4th release date into summer would probably help though. I just typed all of that to then find this article, confirming Sebastian Shaw is reprising his role as Bucky and the Winter Soldier. So Nick, why would you want a recasting for Bucky? You didn't like him in the first movie? Edited September 17, 2012 by Reverend Jax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 you forgot Idris Elba in Thor! for like, a short time, heh. and im not necessarily saying i'd want a recast, but that the guy didnt make that big an impression on me...if they did recast him, im not sure i'd notice. id have to see Cap again i guess.

Keth Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Well Hugo Weaving doesn't wanna play Red Skull again. Don’t expect Hugo Weaving to reprise his role as Red Skull in future Marvel films. During a recent conversation with Collider, Weaving was asked whether he had any plans to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As most actors are signed on to multi-picture deals, it seemed like a fair question, but Weaving gave the impression he wanted to put put some distance between himself and his role in Captain America: The First Avenger. “I think the tendency, with those films, would be to probably not bring a villain back. They might for The Avengers, but I didn’t think I’d be in Captain America 2 or 3. I don’t think Red Skull will be there,” Weaving said. “And it’s not something I would want to do again.” With that being said, Weaving made it clear he has no hard feelings toward Marvel and is glad he joined the project. But he also said he hopes he won’t be asked back. “I did sign up for a number of pictures and I suppose, contractually, I would be obliged to, if they forced me to, but they wouldn’t want to force someone to do it, if they didn’t want to,” he said. “I think I’ve done my dash with that sort of film. It was good to do it and try it out, but to be honest, it’s not the sort of film I seek out and really am excited by. As an actor, to do all sorts of different films is great. It stretches you in different ways. But, I increasingly like to go back to what I used to always do, which is to get involved with projects that I really have a personal affiliation with.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Hugo Weaving: Disgusted with the idea of reprising The Red Skull, totally okay with voicing Megatron for 3 movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Here's that whole interview. His feelings toward transformers are actually a lot more harsh. As the voice of Megatron, has Michael Bay called about the next Transformers movie yet? WEAVING: No. That’s a weird job for me because it honestly was a two-hour voice job, initially. I was doing a play and I actually didn’t have time, anyway. It was one of the only things I’ve ever done where I had no knowledge of it, I didn’t care about it, I didn’t think about it. They wanted me to do it. In one way, I regret that bit. I don’t regret doing it, but I very rarely do something if it’s meaningless. It was meaningless to me, honestly. I don’t mean that in any nasty way. I did it. It was a two-hour voice job, while I was doing other things. Of course, it’s a massive film that’s made masses of money. I just happened to be the voice of one of the iconic villainous characters. But, my link to that and to Michael Bay is so minimal. I have never met him. I was never on set. I’ve seen his face on Skype. I know nothing about him, really. I just went in and did it. I never read the script. I just have my lines, and I don’t know what they mean. That sounds absolutely pathetic! I’ve never done anything like that, in my life. It’s hard to say any more about it than that, really.

Reverend Jax Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 So Robert Redford is now confirmed to be in this, as the “head of S.H.I.E.L.D.” I seem to remember that the black Nick Fury from Ultimate that was modeled after Sam Jackson was brought into the 616 as the son of the traditionally white 616 Nick Fury. So maybe he'll be playing Nick Fury Sr in flashback scenes that take place after WWII but before today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hakujin Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Yeah, I was okay with it too until I clicked the link and saw a picture of current (?) Robert Redford. Yeesh. Not sure who'd trump Redford in a Nick Fury casting call though. Ron Perlman? Dennis Quaid maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
