Yeah with regard to charisma Charlie Hunnam seems to be in that elite club comprised of Sam Worthington, Jai Courtney, and the guy from Tron Legacy. They should all be cast in one movie about a soul sucking team of superheroes or something. They activate their powers by just talking, walking around, and trying to emote.
 
More casting news. Jessica Jones will be portrayed by Jesse's girlfriend from Breaking Bad, and the guy playing Luke Cage looks the part.

Krysten Ritter to solve mysteries as Marvel's Jessica Jones - CNET

Michael Colter Will Reportedly Play Luke Cage in Marvel’s Upcoming Netflix Original Series | The Source

This girl is playing Jessica Jones? She’s skinnier than Gal Gadot for god’s sake.

Fine with the Luke Cage casting but I just saw this actress on a live talk show today and she looks even skinnier than when I last saw her on BB.

Yeah, but Wonder Woman is an Amazon Warrior. That's why people complained. Jessica Jones is just some chick. Who cares if she's scrawny?

I wasn’t comparing the two situations, I was just in shock that this woman is actually skinnier than Gal.

Jessica Jones starts off as just some chick but unless they decide to change a bunch of things in her origin she should be getting powers fairly early on in show, I in no way can picture this woman being able to sell that she has super strength. In the comics she was never a twig, at times she was drawn to be as big as Wonder Woman, and other times she was drawn as an average woman, but this Ritter girl is abnormally skinny.

I see absolutely no similarities

When I was in the Amazon all I saw were spiders, cannibals and cell towers. :lol

:lol :lol :lol
 
Unrelated to the comparison to the comic book character, I'm probably one of the few who thinks she's sexy... :love :drool :lol
 
Almost no one who will watch knows anything about that character, and even less will care what size she is since she was depicted about 90% of the time as a regular looking woman in the comic. Her powers didn't affect her size. And in the comics she was very skinny sometimes.

I never would have thought of her for the part but I'm sure she'll be fine. I'm more concerned about them getting the tone of the Alias comic right. I want her to be a foul-mouthed mess. As long as she pulls that off, I'm good with the casting.

Wonder Woman's powers don't affect her size, either, so, why are people content to ***** and moan? :lol

Well in fairness, the Snyderverse seems primarily concerned with image and aesthetic (the over the top action feeding into this). Dramatic storytelling doesn't seem like a high priority, and it probably shouldn't be since Snyder doesn't know how to handle that kind of thing very well. In that sense, I think those criticisms are more appropriate for something he's involved with. If the drama doesn't work, and story sucks, but at the same time the characters don't fulfill fan expectations in terms of their appearance, then what does the movie have going for it? Knowing Snyder's track record he'll try so hard to adjust to fan criticisms following skinny Wonder Woman in Superman + Batman Dawn of Fate, that they'll either recast or force feed Gadot steak and steroids cocktails leading up to her next appearance.

Yup, Wonder Woman has been drawn as fairly slim on multiple occasions, at least Gal bulked up, and she has even more time to hit the gym for her solo movie, but this Krysten girl seems to have slimmed down even more since she's got the job.

Also the fact that she's going to be in regular clothing is going to make it even harder to sell her action scenes, Gal at least has armor that'll make her look even bigger.
 
We've been doing a lot of practical stunts on it too, not sure what is going to be CGI if anything, but real fire, flaming debris, explosions, blank-firing weapons, etc. :wink1:

Why you gotta make me jealous of your life for :lol:lol:lol
 
Yeah, I am curious if this gets HT to inch towards the TV market. If anything could do it, it's the thought of that Marvel money...
 
If he is in his red suit by the end of the series I could see them making a figure. Then we'd probably get Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Jessica Jones too.
