From the stage at SDCC2010 – the cast of the Avengers movie – (L-R) Robert Downey Jr (Tony Stark/Iron Man), Clark Gregg (Agent Coulson), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Chris Evans (Steve Rogers/Captain America), Samuel L Jackson (Nick Fury), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), Mark Ruffalo (Bruce Banner), Joss Whedon (Director), Kevin Feige (Marvel Studios).

Do I have my concerns about this? A few.

But right now?

I’m just pretty damn excited about it.

Dum Dum Dugan joins Captain America...

…maybe. Slash/Film (and lots of other places) are reporting that Neal McDonough is in negotiations to play Dum Dum Dugan in the Captain America movie. Dugan was second in command to Sgt Fury in the Howling Commandos in WWII, and as I’m pretty sure I read an interview with Samuel L. Jackson saying he wasn’t [Read More...]

Behold the Avengers

With the concept art for Thor and Captain America hitting the internet the past few days, I figured it was time to flex my not-so-mighty photoshopPixlr skills and mash up a few images… And you know what? As thrown together as it is, I kind of like it.

Hayley Atwell cast as Peggy Carter

Deadline is reporting that Hayley Atwell has been cast as Peggy Carter, the love interest of Captain America.

The real question is will Atwell also play Sharon Carter, introduced as Peggy’s almost-identical younger sister (and now retconned [Read More...]

Chris Evans is Captain America

In a stunning bit of casting news, the Warrington-born DJ, reformed hellraiser, former-ginger, now-greying, ex-Mr Billie Piper, Chris Evans has been cast as Steve Rogers, Captain America in the upcoming movie. It’s a weird bit of casting but… …oh. Well that makes more sense. While I don’t hate the casting, I hope that Evans reigns [Read More...]

Captain America, sing and dance?

I know details came out about this a while ago, but I do like the fact that Cap’s going to be a performer for the troops before he finds his true calling. It’s a good way to explain the uniform – which I don’t think would work too well otherwise – and should provide some [Read More...]
