Sony is Spider-Man, X-Men (and Fantastic Four) are at Fox. At this point there is zero chance of Fox and Marvel working something out for an Avenger/X-Men crossover.
Jennifer Lawrence signed a 3-picture deal for X-Men First Class. The upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse is the last film she's contractually obligated to do. I'd agree it's unlikely that they'd get her to play Captain Marvel, but for a different reasons. For one thing she'll probably be reluctant to sign a multi-picture deal again so soon after X-Men, but the main thing is Marvel won't want to pay her. Last edited by Jamie; 10-31-2014 at 01:55 PM.. |

If a female lead character makes you disinterested in a film then you are a total asshole.

Honestly, they just dont interest me at all.
ScarJo as a sidekick in Avengers is one thing, but chicks kicking ass as the lead never looks right to me, theres always an air of unbelievability to it... and it isnt sexist, its just realist. |

That said, I don't know which is hokier: Demi-god or Amazonian Warrior Princess? But the whole "Demi-God" thing is an odd choice, IMO. |

We're literally talking about people with cosmic or genetic superpowers.

Movies like Salt and Resident Evil or Aeon Flux with some superbadass female lead? they just dont interest me at all. If others dig it, hey, more power to them... its just a movie anyway. |

Not all. Black Widow has no superpowers. I don't give two shits if She Hulk or Wonder Woman kick some ass. They're super powered. I just can't stand watching Angelina Jolie kick dudes' asses as just a regular ass trained human like in Salt, Mr and Mrs Smith, and Wanted. If it makes you feel any better I get annoyed seeing small guys do the same. Like Tom Cruise in Jack Reacher. Guy's 5'7" taking on several 250 pounders at once. Bullshit. Still a great movie though |

I know the Resident Evil films are kind of terrible but I love them anyway. I own all of them and will keep watching as long as they keep casting Milla Jovovich.
Another set of movies with a kick ass female lead that I like is Underworld. |

One key to having a good female lead for an action type film is to make sure they are athletic (or athaletic if you are Rich Gannon). Having non-athletic women try to run, jump, throw a punch, etc just looks funny and takes you out of the moment.

I loved Sandahl Bergman in Conan the barbarian, and I thought it was too bad that she got stuck in low budget films.
