Defenders movie

[Rheged]

He looks it, but from BSG I didn't once think of him as Namor as I watched it. Then again, the character he played was very different.

Also, I was thinking about it ... if Valkyrie and She Hulk were in it, Defenders may become an analogue to Avengers (Thor and Hulk). So who'd be the team, and would it matter if there are some similarities in characters to the Avengers?

The movie Avengers don't have a sorcerer and a sea prince, though. I would hope that Marvel Studios would make The Defenders substantially different, though that would add to the difficultly of bringing it to the screen, I'm sure.

to work as a movie without solo movies for all members there needs to be one or two links to Avengers so it attracts people to the film

I think a team of Hulk, Dr Strange, Iron Fist and then introduce Valkyrie in a Thor movie and and introduce Namor in a Captain America one and they're set!

True. Very true. I say go with what works. Release the solo films first, or at least a couple, that would eventually lead to a Defenders movie. Could even have characters like Valkyrie and She-Hulk appear in Thor or Hulk sequels first.

I think at this point, there doesn't have to be a tie-in to one of the Avengers. Marvel has enough of a track record and reputation, and super-heroes are a genre, that Marvel can, and should, do solo movies for the individual Defenders, just like they did for most the individual Avengers.

yeah but the tie-in is for the inevitable crossover movie. tell me you don't want to see Namor throw down with Iron Man onscreen?

on another note, would the board be against someone like Karl Urban as Strange?

Ah. It wouldn't be the Defenders if the Surfer was not involved. And Fox, I believe, is exploring a reboot of the Fatastic Four (minus Chris Evans I presume????)

I like the casting. Even Urban (like Luke Evans) is interchangeable as Namor/Strange.

I liked the team of Beta ray bill, I think the Doctor strange the hulk and Silver Surfer. maybe one other was it quasar? I liked that team.

heh ...

If it's more nonsense like dumping sewage on Namor, then no thank you. But if we get to see something like this, then YES!

Well, I make it a genearl policy to NOT vote against Karl Urban. That said, I like Evans a bit better, as he can pull off the world weary pretty well.

Beta Ray Bill is cool, but I doubt they'll go with that in the movieverse, what with Thor being around. I don't think we'll get Surfer, cause he's tied up at Fox.

If Marvel were into it as much as DC/WB were, I'd LOVE to even just see an animated film.

[The Black Guardian]

on a similar note, get Black Widow into a CHAMPIONS movie

with Swarm and DARKSTAR

Champions would be hard.

Ghost Rider is out.
The X-Men are out.
Would Darkstar fall under Fox's license?

Does Universal still have a contract for Namor?

Or an animated series!

Marvel hasn't come out and said, but Feige said Universal didn't have anything, and they haven't gotten anything into production, so the implication is that Namor's rights reverted back to Marvel Studios.

[HeroxMatt2.0]

Yeah, I would really love to see more expansion in Marvel's animation line. EMH would make a great place to introduce Defenders, at least, right?

My casting for the current comic...

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Doctor Strange (He plays Jaime Lannister in A Game of Thrones on HBO. He looks good with the 'stache in recent episodes, he's in his 40's, he has a noble sounding voice, aristocratic, handsome. I can see him easily pulling off the former sorcerer supreme. Just needs to get the touch of grey in his hair)
Jaimie Alexander as Red She Hulk (Sif from Thor, needs CGI for the the height perhaps, but you don't see a ton of 7 foot tall women running around with athleticism who can act..)
Tom Hardy as Namor (He can portray Namor no problem- you know him from Inception and he is portraying Bane in DKR. I almost went Robert Pattinson based on just looks- Pattinson LOOKS more like Namor, but I don't think Pattinson has the range. Namor would be a demanding role.)
Chris Pine as Iron Fist (easy)
Lawrence Fisburne as Silver Surfer (if it aint broke...)

[chariset]

Or an animated series!

Or a video game.

I can see Karl Urban working, he has a pretty broad range as an actor as well.
