Red Tiger Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 21 hours ago, SpaceChampion said: Jamie Foxx is returning as Electro in the next Spiderman movie. Didn't like Electro, seems like a bad idea. But I think Sony are probably trying to rush a Sinister Six movie to build this Spiderman universe quickly, so the move makes sense from then. At least make him a cool Electro this time, rather than a loonie fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Part of me wonders if with all this casting of same characters in Spidey if they aren't working up to a live action Spider-Verse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumHam Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 1 hour ago, DaveSumm said: But if feels like those decisions were led by ‘fans would enjoy seeing this’. This feels like ‘we’re trying to cobble together a universe asap’. Literally nobody was asking for a reprise of this role. How do you figure? How would casting someone else as electro delay their spider man adjacent films at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t put it past Sony to try and fudge that, actually, it’s the same Electro who experienced ASM2. Willem Dafoe and Jamie Foxx and Michael Keaton or some shit, making as little sense as possible. I hope not, but I can’t see why else you’d cast him again.

Well Marvel is still producing the third Spider-Man at least. Also I don't really see how it somehow being the same character benefits Sony at all?

They cast Simmons as JJJ and he's definitely not the same JJJ as in the Raimi movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The modern JJJ is interesting to me. In the movie he’s similar to InfoWars. In the PlayStation game he feels much more like Rush Limbaugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they saw Suicide Squad and figured villain team up movies don’t work unless fans know the villains, so they’re reaching into their back catalogue for known villains and ignoring the fact that it’s a separate universe? It doesn’t make sense, but I can’t figure any other reason to cast Foxx again. I can’t imagine Foxx was champing at the bit to reprise the role, no way Marvel have pushed for this, and fans certainly haven’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that might be the case if Foxx was reprising the role first in a Sinister Six movie, but he's going to show up in Spider Man 3 (Homesick I think it was rumored to be called?) first. So like even if they cast an unknown actor as the new Electro fans would still know that version from Spider Man 3 before any possible villain team-up movie he'd be in. I don't know why they cast him again. I honestly can't remember if I saw Amazing Spider-Man 2. He's a good actor though, maybe it's as simple as that.

It's not Foxx's fault that film and portrayal of the character sucked. If they wanna keep him on, fine by me. He's a very talented actor, no reason not to keep an open mind about whether they can make a good movie with him as Electro (who, admittedly, is hardly my favorite of Spiderman villains).

RumHam Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Benedict Cumberbatch Joins ‘Spider-Man 3’ as Doctor Strange I guess this opens up the possibility that Foxx is playing the old Electro. I still doubt it though. But it could be cool to have whatever multi-verse stuff they're doing with Wandavision and Doctor Strange 2 bleed into Spider-Man a little.

SpaceChampion Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Almost a month later and Tatiana Maslany is now denying she's been cast as She-Hulk... Must be the usual false denial that Paul Rudd and Brie Larsen also gave before Marvel announced there casting. Plus the showrunner herself is essentially confirming it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RumHam Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I guess we should change the title if it's not true. Shame though, she's a great actress. Shang-Chi has supposedly wrapped filming. Spider-Man is filming all over with Holland in Atlanta. I wonder how many movies they'll have queued up by the time people are ready to head back to theaters.

SpaceChampion Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 The showrunner seems to believe it is true. Maslany is probably contractually unable to confirm it until Marvel announces it themselves. Maybe they're still doing CGI/make-up tests to see if it's going to work.

RumHam Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Wandavision will premier January 15th. So 2020 is the first year without an MCU release since Iron Man 2 came out in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncalagonTheBlack Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 ‘Hawkeye’ Series at Disney Plus Adds Six to Cast, Including Vera Farmiga and Tony Dalton (EXCLUSIVE)https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/hawkeye-disney-plus-florence-pugh-vera-farmiga-cast-1234845371/ Quote The upcoming “Hawkeye” series at Disney Plus has cast a number of key roles, Variety has learned exclusively from sources. Along with series leads Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld, Vera Farmiga, Florence Pugh, Fra Fee, Tony Dalton, Alaqua Cox, and Zahn McClarnon will all appear in the series. Reps for Disney and the actors did not immediately respond to Variety‘s request for comment. Farmiga is attached to play the Marvel character Eleanor Bishop, the mother of Kate Bishop (Steinfeld). Fee will play a character named Kazi, most likely short for Kazimierz Kazimierczak, known to Marvel fans as the mercenary villain Clown. Dalton will play Jack Duquesne, more than likely a take on the Marvel character Jacques Duquesne or Swordsman. An early mentor to Hawkeye, Swordsman has been both a hero and a villain in the Marvel comics. Pugh will reprise the role of spy and assassin Yelena Belova, the sister of Black Widow. Newcomer Cox will play Maya Lopez, the true name of the Marvel character Echo, a deaf Native American who is capable of perfectly copying another person’s movements, making her a formidable fighter. McClarnon will play the role of William Lopez, likely a take on Maya’s father Willie “Crazy Horse” Lincoln from the comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
