You know, there is always hope and buzz on certain A-listers to be in comic movies, but how important are they? I noticed in the case of the ever popular dark knight an up and coming actor by the name of heath ledger made history as the joker, yet Maggie Gyllenhaal, who happens have an academy award for best actress in a lead role, didn't quite seem like the ideal girl for a billionaire playboy. in ironman's case the movie resurrected Robert Downey jr.'s career, and ever a list actor shined,Gwyneth Paltrow,Terrence Howard,Jeff Bridges, Samuel jackson(for like a minute), all of them put 2gether a highly entertaining experience, now lets go to the infamous Ghostrider, With Nicolas Cage,Peter Fonda, Eva Mendes,Sam Elliott, all great actors,(and actress), but the movie was not so great, I personally felt it had its moments(like Sam Elliott being the original ghostrider), but it still was very disappointing.Than recently a new punisher with Ray Stevenson, There was so much bad acting i couldnt bare watching it Moving forward, there are still plenty of A listers that have yet 2 land in a comic movie, Leonardo Dicaprio, Brad Pitt, Denzil Washington,oh yea, The ever popular Jonny Depp, just a few big names that people would love 2 see in our favorite genre of films. But wait?! remember this much before we start to speculate who we want for a role, 1st of lets go with age, alot of a listers are in there 40's, some in there later 40's(jonny depp for ex), can that play a factor in a traditional athletic hero or villian??Also, some hero's are better fit for younger actors,like the flash. Now lets look at ego, alot of big time actors only go for The lead role, even if there a better pick for a minor villain, you have to cater to there ego(and pockets for that matter), a good example is Morgan Freeman as lucios fox, he just plays that role so well, and was the best fit, but i guess at his age u can take those kind of roles.And now there is Sam Jackson dropping his role as Nick Fury(a huge case of irony), his ego most definitly got in the way of that. Now there is that dynamic of once an actor is implanted in a universe of characters,thats who they are , granted, they can get re-casted, but wen they are gone, its a golden rule they are gone for good!! So how important are A listers 2 comic movies?? I feel as long as they consider taking on the roles we should feel pride in that alone, lets just hope all of them get casted right!
