Not my domino...

 

[Poor GRIMES]

funny how favorable casting for a black woman in a role is opposed with white actresses

Here is my Domino:

we need Tron 3

 

[TalonJH]

I like Washington but I don't think this part is for her. I feel like she will just play the part as Olivia Pope. That being said, I trust their judgment.

The actors had great chemistry, not amazing performances. I dunno, just don't see it. I'm afraid of a "Don Cheadle War Machine" situation in which the base actor is good but the chemistry isn't there.

I love Cheadle but Terrence Howard will forever be my Rhodey.

 

[SeanC]

I've never found her particularly good actress but if it's a smaller supporting role then I'd be down.

 

[Slayven]

Maybe her powers are too vague?

Her power is to manipulate probability, It's used all the time. Every time a bullet misses her, she's used her power.

Hell even she questioned her powers

If Domino weren't traditionally a white female in the comics, I'd agree with your point

Spoiler

Personally have nothing against Kerry Washington playing Domino

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

He's more than ready.

All jokes aside, he's a good actor so he (and a couple stuntsmen) could make this work.

Surprised Sienna Miller refused the role since she's not exactly a big name. Who turns down the opportunity to star in the sequel to one of the biggest hits of all time? A mess. Oh, well, if Kerry says yes, it'll be awesome.

SCIMITAR

Same here. I like Cheadle much better as an actor but he never clicked with Jr. like Howard did.

 

[HiResDes]

Spot on about Howard vs Cheadle

 

[Bladenic]

Wait they offered it to Sienna Miller, a shitty actress who's biggest role was the wife of the sniper dude, and she turned it down? The nerve.

No idea who that other name is.

I can only see Kerry as Olivia Pope, but she may be good. I feel like I remember her doing well on SNL, which isn't at all the same, but she may have some comedic wit yet.

 

[opricnik]

Not good choice , also not cast a white character a blac/latino actress.i

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Nice. Get em, Kerry. Make that mothafuckin money.

 

[LiK]

she's so hot.

 

[mckmas8808]

Eh, I'll be the dissenting opinion I guess; if this is true, I'm not a fan. I think she's a good actress (though I really didn't like her part in Django), but I haven't seen anything in her filmography that I'm super blown away by.

I love Kerry, but I don't think this is a good fit for her. She was really good in the HBO show/movie about Clarence Thomas.

 

[Sarcastic Poster]

I like Kerry Washington and she would be cool in this role, but I really liked the Lizzy Caplan report that had been floating around earlier.

Lizzy is a good shout, I reckon.

Considering Domino is white in the comics I'm not sure why that's bad. Anything goes.

Oh tell us more.

 

[dantevsninjas]

I'd be good with this. Pierce Brosnan, on the other hand, I'm still not sold on. Stephen Lang seems like such a better choice.

She lose her pants recently? I'm still reading Marvel Now era.

 

[losertheboy]

Ruth Negga please and thank you

 

[Dabanton]

Ruth Negga please and thank you

Would be a good choice but a little too close to her role in Preacher.

Gugu is great. I would say watch Beyond the Lights but Nate Parker is in it so...

Watch Belle instead

 

[- J - D -]

Isn't Kerry a bit old for the role? All the other mentioned names so far, such as Lizzy Caplan or Mackenzie Davis, are all much younger. Don't get me wrong Kerry is great, but I always see Domino in her default appearance(s) as young-ish.

a little bit

 

[TheSeks]

Not against it, but that'd be a weird casting choice.

Though, I only know of Domino from that (IMO terrible) "Sex and Violence" X-force trade where she does Wolverine and gets him into bullshit because she stole from a cartel.

I watched it before I knew what a piece of shit he was. I enjoyed it for what it was. Belle was good. Also, San Junipero, the episode of Black Mirror she co-starred in is excellent.

 

[Angry Grimace]

...I thought Vanessa was Domino? Or was that Copycat pretending to be Domino or something?

 

[Darth Pinche]

I'm trying to figure out those pants.

Is her ass just hanging out back there?

 

[VARIA]

Eva Green, please.

 

[Eppy Thatcher]

Kerry washington is the Scandal girl right?

.... ehhhh... no thanks. But i trust that team...

 

[Slayven]

I don't mind her playing Domino, but I think she is worth a hell of a lot more then a love interest.

By herself could pull a whole new audience into the movie

 

[Fancyarcher]

She'd be a good choice for the role, I reckon.
