Word! Maybe more Abed in Cap 3 and Avengers 3 & 4. I would love Annie for sure.

Britta as Moonstone is perhaps a joke only a few get, but if Gillian Anderson ever actually was offered that part, I'd be ecstatic.

Annie and Abed, too, of course, and if they every actually get the rights back from Sony... DONALD FOR SPIDER-MAN!

That reminds me that Winger was in Spider-Man 2 as a douche bag bank loan officer. The Avengers could use Britta.

Hell yes they could! She could ruin the Masters of Evil's plans!

STILL NO FANTASTIC FOUR TRAILER BUT PLOT MAY HAVE LEAKED


Here we go:

Reed Richard is a genius who is working as a convenience store clerk with best friend Ben Grim. Reed's parents are said to not really care too much about him, and Ben's own dad is abusive. Reed writes a paper for his community college class about "teleportation," which attracts the attention of the CEO of the Baxter Building Research Center, Dr. Franklin Storm.

Dr. Franklin Storm has a son, Johnny, and an adoptive daughter, Sue. Sue's father was Dr. Franklin's old partner who died in an experiment gone wrong. Johnny and Sue are spoiled party kids, with Sue not liking science at all. It's said Reed and Sue don't get along at first in the movie.

Victon Domashev (aka Victor Von Doom in the comics) is described as an anti-social Eastern European computer programmer and hacktivist/blogger going by the name of "Doom." He hates the "1%" - particularly Dr. Franklin Storm - whom Doom claims corrupts science for profit.

Dr. Franklin Storm uses Reed Richard's teleportation paper to complete equations for a machine that can access another dimension, the N-Zone (aka the Negative Zone in the comics). Reed is invited to watch the N-Zone machine get turned on and brings Ben along with him, with Sue and Johnny also present. Meanwhile, Doom manages to hack into the Baxter Building's servers and uses a computer virus to damage the N-Zone machine, which causes it to explode. Reed, Ben, Sue and Johnny are then exposed to the otherwordly energy and "become mutants with powers they can't control."

Reed has the same elastic powers from the comics; Ben can switch his powers on and off (at first); Johnny changes colors depending on how hot het gets, and Sue has telekinetic powers.

Doctor Franklin Storm creates containment suits (ie. their costumes) for their powers, and the four begin to train. Reed Richards and Franklin Storm also begin to work on a way to reverse the accident and rebuild the N-Zone machine, with Sue blaming Reed for everything (eventually they get past their differences and end up as a couple).

Doom finds out the four have powers and becomes angry it's not him, so he comes up with a plan to access the new N-Zone machine. Doom hacks a batch of stolen military drones to attack the Baxter Building - Doombots, with the four coming together as a team for the first time saving people and repelling the attack, etc.

Doom happens to find and activate the new machine and acquires powers (energy blasts, able to control machines, etc.). A fight ensues. With the machine going critical, in order to prevent it from destroying the city, the four and Doom go into the machine. Dr. Frankling Storm then manages to shut it down.

Inside the N-Zone, the four battle Doom again, leaving Doom trapped. Doom soaks up too much of the dimensional power (that gave them all powers), which causes Doom to become disfigured.

The Four manage to escape, but Ben uses himself to protect the other three. The additional dimensional power he absorbed causes him to not to be able to revert back to his human form (in essence, Ben gets trapped, too, in his "Thing" form).

The machine is destroyed. Doom is gone, and the four have learned to work as a team with Reed Richards vowing to find a cure for his friend, Ben Grimm.

Multiple Actors Up For Roles of Jean Grey and Cyclops In ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’

Bryan Singer once again has the unenviable task of casting two of Marvel’s most iconic X-Men. Back in 2000, the director brought in Famke Janssen and James Marsden to play Jean Grey and Cyclops, rolls that extended through and including this year’s X-Men: Days of Future Past. But now that the series is continuing on with the X-Men: First Class versions of the characters in X-Men Apocalypse, he has to cast those two crucial roles again.

One report says three actors and three actresses are on Singer’s short list for each role. Among them? Chloe Moretz, Elle Fanning and Hailee Steinfeld. Read more about the X-Men Apocalypse Cyclops and Jean Grey casting below.

According to The Wrap, Moretz, Elle Fanning and Steinfeld are “among the teenage leading ladies being eyed to play young Jean Grey.” As for Cyclops, aka Scott Summers, the names include Ben Hardy (East Enders), Charlie Rowe (Never Let Me Go) and Timothee Chalamet, who played young Tom in Interstellar.

The report does state, however, that while each of these actors are in the mix for the respective roles, none have been made an offer and there are plenty of others under consideration as well. In particular, while Fanning met with Singer, it’s unclear if she’s interested or not.

So what does this all mean? Basically that Jean Grey has a much more significant part than Cyclops in X-Men Apocalypse. No knock on the young actors mentioned above, but Moretz, Fanning and Steinfeld are in a different league of popularity and clout than the guys up for Cyclops. None would even consider the role at this point in their careers if it wasn’t a co-starring role around other returning cast members such as Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult.

X-Men Apocalypse will follow the X-Men into the 1980s as they battle the powerful villain who shares a name with the film’s title. Filming starts early next year aimed at a May 27, 2016 release date.

Hit-Girl as Jean Grey would be the worst thing ever

[W.West Moderator Find all posts View Profile Close W.West]

I knew this moment would come and I was hoping Singer knew better but apparently not. Someone call Matthew Vaughn and tell him to cast this movie quick.

Hit-Girl as Jean Grey would be the worst thing ever

no it wouldnt. you have to remember there doing a young version of the characters not people in the 40's or 50's. if i remember correctly i thought it was confirmed this is during the 80's similar to how first class was the 60's dofp the 70's


now that i think of it and depending what his obligations are with wb and the cw/flash but what about robbie amell for a young scott summers?

It doesn't matter who else is cast because Singer will have X-Men: Apocalypse centered around Wolverine.

But yeah, someone call Matthew Vaughn.

Marvel’s ‘Jessica Jones’ Series: Krysten Ritter, Alexandra Daddario, Teresa Palmer & Jessica De Gouw Testing For Lead

I hear Marvel is assembling a field of actresses invited to test for the lead of the company’s straight-to-series Jessica Jones drama for Netflix. I hear it includes Krysten Ritter, Alexandra Daddario, Teresa Palmer and Jessica De Gouw. All fall within the age range of 25-33 listed on the breakdowns for the role.

I also heard two names mentioned as being in consideration for the male lead Luke Cage: Crisis‘ Lance Gross and The Good Wife and The Following‘s Mike Colter. Cage is designed to appear in 6-7 episodes of Jessica Jones and then topline his own series, the fourth in the Netflix-Marvel package that includes Daredevil, starring Charlie Cox, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage. The characters from the four shows band together for a miniseries to close out the storylines.
