Robert Redford In Talks To Star In ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’
Marvel Surprise: Robert Redford In Talks To Star In ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’
EXCLUSIVE: Here is a fun Marvel scoop. I’m hearing that Robert Redford is in discussions to join the cast of Marvel’s Captain America: The First Avenger, the sequel that brings Chris Evans back as the shield-carrying superhero. Redford is in talks to play a senior leadership role in S.H.I.E.L.D., the superhero collective run by Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury character. Joe and Anthony Russo are directing the film from a script by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, whose Marvel script credits include Captain America: The First Avenger and the upcoming Thor: The Dark World. The sequel will be released by Disney April 4, 2014. In between running his Sundance empire, Redford most recently starred in All Is Lost, the J.C. Chandor-scripted and directed survival tale. While Marvel was predictably mum as Kevin Feige’s unit always is on casting matters, Marvel characters have a tendency to show up in other superhero movies, and I believe that is likely to be on the menu for Redford. It will be somewhat ironic for the patriarch of independent cinema to become a regular in some of Hollywood’s biggest studio blockbusters. Redford’s repped by WME |

Stark is in the middle of having panic attacks and impulsive behaviors like destroying his own suits to distance himself from the supes life (in IM3.) Thor is an ET/god. How the **** do you get one of those on the phone? On top of that keep in mind Cap was frozen in ice in 1945 and thawed out in (insert date of first CA film.) Just going to the grocery store ****ing confuses the guy...

For those not complete comix geeks there's another Hulk/Falcon tie in.

This would be one of the story arcs that makes me recommend funny books to grown adults. It was one of the first mature approaches to the idea of a "partner" and a very blunt treatment of the topic of AIDS. Extremely well written and a subtle (but impacting) part of the Hulk storyline...

In All Star, Lex tricks Superman into saving a space mission too close to the sun, over-radiating his cells which makes him more smart and powerful than ever but slowly kills him ala cancer. So right at the start both we and Supes knows he's going to die at the end. It basically becomes a "what would Superman do in his last few days of living?" type of episodic adventure and by the end he smashes atoms together with his fingers to create a universe in which there are no superheroes (our universe) so he could find out if the world would be okay without him. He also embeds himself into his own timeline so that he could see his dad once more before he dies.. it's incredible. At the End of Days is just a fantastically nutty invasion story except it's a 5th dimensional creature invading Earth. Since time is the 4th dimension, he attacks the earth at all points in time simultaneously so he fights Superman throughout his entire life and defeats him in each instance except for the most current.. because since Superman's been fighting him his whole life, he already knows how to beat him This is why I hate the whole Nolan/Snyder take on the DC Universe where they drag the characters down for the sake of "realism" and "grittyness." They don't need to be real or gritty to be interesting.. they're superheroes. |

What if I told you a story where Batman quits being Batman until Catwoman steals his mom's pearls and then Bane takes over Gotham and then gets shot by Catwoman while Batman takes a nuke into the ocean just like how the Adam West 60's movie ended
Or how about, Jonathan Kent dies saving his dog from a tornado so Supes becomes an emo bum before setting off a signal that leads Zod to Earth. They then punch each other on screen for an hour, resulting in the mass destruction of Metropolis and Smallville before Supes executes him by snapping his neck

That sounds much better. I really just hate Superman. I mean, he's a ****ing beast don't get me wrong; but he's a pansy do-gooder and some of the shit he does is just so cheap. Creating a new universe by rubbing his fingers together? Seriously.. |

So you would prefer we live in a world where Nolan never touched Batman, a world where the The Dark Knight (2008) was never made? I'm not with you.

I mean, come on. Man of Steel was like, "let's take the most uplifting and hopeful character and completely make him ****ing miserable and have a punch out fest for half an hour at the end before he executes Zod. What's more, let's even VISUALLY take out all the color and overlay it with with a complete gray/saturated look just so people know that this is a miserable and exhausting movie, even for the character. Why? Because it's more real." |

Glad to see they're finally using his shield more. This might be pretty decent...
