5 Actors We Think They'll Suck but Won't, In Future Comicbook Movies !

I don't think Miller likes to be labeled, she's only described herself as queer. But I can't wait to see what she brings to the role.

Smith is the only one I agree with. He'll do fine. While I think Michael B. Jordan will also do fine, I question why they don't think there's a better actor out there that looks more like the comic version of Johnny Storm but whatever.

I have never been sold on Gadot mainly from her acting she wasn't good in the F&F movies maybe she will surprise but from her role there she will be the worst part of the movie. Alongside skinny Steve Jobs type hipster dork that Jesse Eisenberg is making Lex Luthor into but that is a different matter entirely.

Good article....

I like that you mentioned how fans care about how their characters are represented on the big screen, and that's one of the reasons there's so much enmity towards these casting choices and people don't understand them.

In a lot of cases, why should they.... Especially for Gadot and Miller, they feel like such outside castings. I'm not sold on Gadot at all, mainly because she hasn't sold me on her acting, at all. Maybe that will change in 2015. I really don't like Teller as Reed either, that added to what we've heard about the movie and I'm not sold.

Rudd totally fits for Scott Lang though, not just because of his experience but because it's Rudd. He can totally play an ex-con that the audience can still route for. I know this because I'm a fan of Rudd and I can see him pulling off the role. Also, he's passionate about it, he helped write/revise the screenplay and look at the shape he got into for the role, Rudd has abs!! Haha

The main reason Rudd isn't on this list too, is because we've already seen him in the teaser and my faith for the movie is fully restored. Can't wait for Ant-Man.

So, maybe when we see a trailer for these movies, our opinions will change

Mark my words...Ezra Miller is gonna show these haters that she's got what it takes.

@zedkate

Yeah, Marvel definitely knows how to cast, I have trust in Marvel but their choices make sense too

I can't wait to see Rudd in Ant-Man, the teaser was awesome

I have faith with Tatum. He's proving himself as an actor. Such a shame that Fox got him before WB/Disney realized his potential.

"5 Actors We Think They'll Suck but Won't, In Future Comicbook Movies !"

Kind of a pretentious title there, seeing how we have yet to see them actually act as the character. Get the point that this is a counter arguement to the many complaints, but it is stooping to that same level.

I guess I should give my view on the hate for these cast decision.

1. Erza Miller
You forget the factor of the CW fans who feel that the DC Cinematic Universe should integrate the shows Arrow and Flash (as well as other network shows) into that movieverse canon. It really comes off as a stupid move on DC/WB part for trying to jam so many characters in one movie to create a universe, when they could of went with a simpler solution like officially saying the shows are part of the same canon as the movies giving the audience the idea that this universe is huge with a lot of heroes.

2. Michael B. Jordan
Ah yes, because everybody who hates the casting choice for Jordan is just racist. It is certainly not the weird fact that only he is black and not his sister, thus eliminating what could of been added ethnicity to the team (especially a chance for added black female heroes in comic book films). Or how he could of been better as Reed Richard seeing how compare to the other three he is more mature than the other two in both looks and characters he play as (for that matter, the male Fantastic Four members should of just did a triple switch in roles).

I won't say MBJ is bad casting, but it is certainly weird as I can envision him as the other two male FF members but not Human Torch . . . yeah, I also think he would of been a better Thing, if the switch ended up having Bell as Mr. Fantastic and Teller as Human Torch.

3. Gal Gaddot
Size. Honestly, it makes more sense for Wonder Woman to be played by an actor with a more thicker build (say like Korra-ish). You can't really blame the fans complaining about her size seeing that she is going to play an Amazonian warrior princess who is commonly portrayed in most of her apperences as being physically superior to her colleagues.

Maybe Gaddot over time built up between the time of her casting and shooting the scenes, so we have to wait and she the final product instead of promotional art. Til then, can't believe they didn't get somebody similar in physique as Jamie Alexander.

4. Will Smith
. . . . . I never heard any complaints about that . . . in fact he is like the only actor in this list who could actually work out well. If anything to worry about with him is if he somehow shoehorns his children into the production of Suicide Squad (Joking, that last point is a joke).

5. Miles Teller
The Michael B. Jordan section covered my view. I just think the three leads should just switch roles with each other and it will be an improvement.

I guess what I am pointing out is that there are some reasonable distaste for the casting of these actors as there are good reasons for such cast. We can't really tell just by physical appearance or acting credentials that they are good for the role, so it is best to wait and see. So I guess it all boils down to the direction they take with the characters.

After all a movie with questionable/shitty casting can turn out a good (if not perfect) thing (Guardians of the Galaxy, Batman, etc); and a movie with good casting and actors with award winning range can turn out into a mess (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Amazing Spider-Man 2, Iron Man 2 and 3, Daredevil).

Your point of view is certainly interesting.

Michael B. Jordan is a great actor, but it could be possible that some people are upset since they are breaking from cannon as far as the race. That changes the dynamic (adoptions etc), thus potentially changing the established "family" dynamic. Is that a bad thing? Not necessarily, it could be creative and well done or a train wreck. We'll just have to wait and see. However, claiming everyone who disagrees is because their racist is actually *more* ignorant than an actual racist person, lol.

Just to use an example brought up before. Lets just say they did hire a white actor to play Black Panther, and people got upset. I wouldn't think they were mad because the "actor is white". I'd think they were mad because "Black Panther is black". There is a difference, lol.

People (fans) get touchy about cannon in Superhero movies. Granted, *all* movies take some liberties with cannon. Still, we've all seen what happens when those liberties backfire (X-Men Origins Deadpool anyone?). I believe in the "wait and see" approach, but you shouldn't fault people for being on edge with such changes, and they certainly don't deserve to all be classified as racists. I don't judge you for your opinions, don't judge others for theirs. Cheers!
