And? Ryu Hayabusa starred in one of the most legendary trilogies on SNES and two of the best 3D action games of all time.
He's a super ninja yeah cool whatever. Samus is the same, unless you want her to be Other M Samus.

I give my permission for Brie Larson to star in the Ninja Gaiden movie

 

[stranno]

She isn't a bad actress! She had bad roles! No one saw Room? She is great in that movie.
I don't know, I would prefer to have Charlize Theron as Samus.

I would prefer Idris Elba for Samus Aran

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

I would prefer Idris Elba for Samus Aran

Not the "remember me" helmet gif guy?

 

[Esca]

I'd be ok with that

 

[Explosive Zombie]

Or maybe Hayden Panettiere? I actually met her in person once on the set of Scream 4. She totally gave me a mother brain.

Oh God I'm in public

 

[Nikana]

Holy shit am I in the minority where I think she would be an almost perfect Samus? What don't people like about her as an actress?

The acting part.

 

[triplestation]

not a bad idea at all, actually

i'll eat skittles out of brie larson's butthole no problem

 

[HUELEN10]

Not tall enough. What about Gwendoline Christie instead?

 

[MisterBrimstone]

I think a great thread for the forum would be "Pitch the Metroid movie". Just the basic plot and idea you have for a movie.

I'd go with scary, Alien vibes and the suit is shit tier until almost at the end of the movie to defeat the final boss. No Ridley, yes Mother brain or something like that. No morph ball ofc but yes the scanner with a cool voice for descriptions.

It would be complete copy paste from genre tropes and a trash movie overall but it can work since gamers are gonna watch it and hate it no matter what.

 

[Zannegan]

Get Brie Larson is you want to make an Other M movie, Charlize Theron if you want to make a decent Metroid tale.

Larson would still be better than Rousey, but that's like saying marmite would be better on toast than the gum scraped off the bottom of your shoe.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

pft

Why does she have testicular boobs?

B...b.b.but Chief Ass Analyst @Sybb told me she has a giant flabby ass! How can this be?

In what world are any of those asses in the op big? Smallest ass of any video game character? Someone post aloy, lara, and whoever else. If we are going by ass.. this actress is the perfect person to play her.

 

[Tesseract]

when the dust settles, ai overlords will hijack trip's personality matrix

 

[ThatOneGrunt]

I'd watch it. I think she's great. Great it Scott Pilgrim. Great in Room. Liked her in Kong Skull Island. Not bad to look at.

 

[Bakkus]

Damn, she and Chrissy Teigen...Why does every Nintendo celebrity fan have to be such an insufferable human being

 

[Corderlain]

Anyone who's saying no because of a butt picture can fuck off. If a metroid movie is made and its not like an action suspense movie with her in her power armor for 99% of the movie the producers can kiss my ass. I want blasting. I want bombing. I want insane platforming esque stunts. I want a wack ball labyrinth scene. I want creepy aliens and insane parasites and missiles and fucking holy shit I love metroid.

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

Luckily Samus doesnt wear open toe high heels so we dont have to see those warts filled toes and toe nails.

 

[SpiceRacz]

 

[Exede]

My perfect Samus actress would be Katheryn Winnick from Vikings. She has the looks, personality and can fight. Brie.... no, not my Samus

 

[Pejo]

That's a pretty good pick. Though I'm wondering if we need a Metroid movie if we can't even get any solid news on Prime 4

 

[Reptars Revenge]

Sure why not I love actors passionate about true source material

 

[Kamina]

Edit:

Damn you Nikana

 

[hangdang69]

We don't need more video game movies or TV shows

 

[Soodanim]

Ah yes, Brie Larson. The Internet's favourite person, who it convinced itself was hated by her cast mates for no good reason other than they don't get her personality.


I hope she gets the lead in a Metroid movie just to annoy the irrational hate crowd.

 

[lucius]

She was ok in The Room, I mean they could do worse at least she wants to do it.

 

[jdforge]

I don’t mind her at all. If she’s genuine about really wanting to play the role and is a fan of the series surely that’s a good thing.

 

[Kataploom]

She is unqualified for the role.

POTY.

 

[Moonjt9]

No thanks, I’m good.

 

[GymWolf]

gross

Abby looking fine with blonde hairs.

 

[Neofire]

She is unqualified for the role.

GD, I've seen some flat asses on white women but this shit is ridiculous

 

[Nickolaidas]

Sorry, Brie. Samus should be played by a Japanese actress.

But Samus is a natural blonde ...

 

[xrnzaaas]

She only has herself to blame for following the woke ideology that so many in Hollywood follow. You can see the results in this thread where that ideology gets her.

Having said that, I have given up on keeping track who in Hollywood, and the music Industry has a woke agenda, but If a movie or the music is good without preaching an agenda to me I will watch or listen to it. I have doubts that many in Hollywood could get a Metroid movie right anyway, but I'm up for it if it's done right.

Mandatory objectification:

Why aren't there any lights shining on her feet? Coincidence?

 

[MastaKiiLA]

I can get behind this idea. She wasn't the problem with Captain Marvel. I've also enjoyed her roles in other films as well. I'd still prefer a younger Charlize Theron in the role. She's mastered the badass heroine role the past decade or so.

 

[MastaKiiLA]

Sure why not I love actors passionate about true source material

Bingo. Deadpool succeeded largely because Reynolds was passionate about the source material. Yet we have a thread half filled with complaints that she has no ass, when body doubles exist, and most of any movie should NOT be upskirt shots.

I say give the virgin neckbeards what they deserve. Hire the team that did the Mario Brothers movie. You don't deserve nice things.

 

[gow3isben]

I thought she was hot in Captain Marvel but without makeup she really is meh.

Anyways, hell no.

 

[Ozzie666]

This is my pick, good actress and fits the bill, could tell some great Metroid stories with her.

 

[Ailynn]

I think it's pretty awesome that she's a fan of Samus, but in my opinion the role belongs to 5'10" badass actress Charlize Theron.

 

[jdforge]

I genuinely love her, but her performance in Prometheus wasn’t very good. Granted there wasn’t much she could do in that role to shine, but maybe if she’d just ran to the side like a few metres, she’d still be alive.

I’d really love to see Brie in the role. She’s clearly a massive Nintendo fan which we can only hope would mean she has a good understanding of what makes Metroid, well Metroid.

 

[disap.ed]

Also I doubt they will be over 6' in height.

Elizabeth Debicki?

 

[Hudo]

I was about to write the usual "fuck, no!" but after some thinking, I'd actually like to see her give it a shot, if she's really a fan.

 

[LostDonkey]

Brie Arsegone

 

[Timberwolf25]

Nope. Just Nope. A wooden puppet controlled by Jeff Dunham acts better than she does!

 

[Fuz]

Not with that ass.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

 

[Kuranghi]

I mean, it does make sense, Samus uses an ice beam to defeat metroids, and Brie Larson already starts with the Ice Heart charge combo upgrade so she'll be able to breeze through the early game.

 

[iconmaster]

Casting a supermodel as Samus would be a mistake. Make her appealing, sure; but not gorgeous. Samus hasn’t got time for that.

If they can convince her to trim her eyebrows, I’d suggest someone like Cara Delevingne:

 

[bhunachicken]

Maybe if Theron is in the Metroid movie she could need to rescue some hot female scientist or some such, who she can then spend a good amount of time snogging, like she did with that French chick* in Atomic Blonde

(* - Sofia Boutella, who is really good in Kingsman)

 

[midasmulligan]

Brie, I got a better idea

 

[jigglet]

and wouldn't try to accurately portray the character.

I’m not even sure what an accurate portrayal looks like

 

[Barnabot]

She is unqualified for the role.

[EverydayBeast]

Looking the part is half the battle, and she has a nice compact, stylish body and could probably handle the acting part.
