[a916]

Everyone who plays The Human Torch is guaranteed to be a mega star.

Wouldn't it balance out of this one failed since Cap did so well?

 

[Byakuya769]

Oh shit! Triathlon is in this!?!

 

[BronsonLee]

How the fuck could he play Namor
Isn't that locked up in rights hell

 

[Rooster12]

Interesting. Who do we think he's playing?

3-D Man

 

[twozerotwo]

That's what I thought.

I like MBJ but not for Namor.

 

[Setsuna]

YOU GET A HUMAN TORCH

AND YOU GET A HUMAN TORCH

Wait. . . .

 

[Bobby Roberts]

How the fuck could he play Namor
Isn't that locked up in rights hell

I don't think so? Maybe?

I think Namor might be in a similar situation as Hulk, in that you can't make a solo movie, but you can include him as a supporting character in other people's films.

Maybe. It's been awhile.

Wasn't there a fuckin' chart done in the last year?

 

[The Artisan]

creed was such a good movie.

 

[elrechazado]

I hope Captain America is in the movie too.



Sounds like you're jealous of him being talented as fuck. Dude could be the next Will Smith. I guess Will Smith is average to you too. Only Tom Hardy and Fassbender in all movies please....

Project much? On a positive note, I love that mbj is a total geek. Hope he gets a good role after the hot garbage of f4

 

[WyndhamPrice]

How the fuck could he play Namor
Isn't that locked up in rights hell

I think it's like the Hulk rights where they can't make a solo movie but they can use him in a support role?

 

[FullMetaltech]

Definitely not T'Challas son and not White Wolf. My guess is Man Ape or Killmonger if hes a Villian.

 

[Sanjuro]

Spoiler

I wouldn't mind him being a new War Machine trying to get Bucky.

But that's just me.

 

[Mariolee]

Holy crap haha

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Namor

How cool would that be? lol

OH BOY

 

[Toa TAK]

I'm pleasantly surprised and yet I shouldn't be.

 

[the_firewithin]

hahahaha MBJ couldnt get away from F4 fast enough.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

More Michael B Jordan is a great thing. And he might be the villain? Interesting.

This film just keeps sounding better and better.

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

How the fuck could he play Namor

I think Namor is in that weird Quicksilver situation, he can be used...sorta.

 

[Father_Brain]

I support Michael B Namor



Considering how many movies with women leading that it took (and we STILL hear women leading action movies is not profitable) .... I really doubt it

Of course, but a man can dream.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

He could totally pull off smug asshole Namor

 

[maxcriden]

This could be a reasonably understandable statement before Creed.

He knocked that out of the park.

I really have to say I think he's been a superb actor since The Wire and especially in FNL.

Dammit. Michael B. Jordan is a painfully average actor. He plays the same character in everything he's been in. I hope he has a small role.

Have you seen him in The Wire and on FNL? Two very different roles.

 

[- J - D -]

American Panther, let's go.

 

[Kid Kamikaze10]

Moses Magnum.

Not Namor. Not Killmonger. Never Man-Ape.

Moses Magnum. He wouldn't even need an accent.

 

[FreshCakes]

If there is a fight scene done in a single cut in this movie, I'm gonna flip shit.

 

[Parallax]

I don't think so? Maybe?

I think Namor might be in a similar situation as Hulk, in that you can't make a solo movie, but you can include him as a supporting character in other people's films.

as much as i dont care for the character, namor would be wasted on a black panther movie.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

Passing the Torch.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Damn, this is one hell of a cast they got lined up for this. And so much for that F4 sequel, lol.

 

[Tom Nook]

First Lupita then MBJ?

This is awesome.

 

[Blade30]

I don't think so? Maybe?

You mean this one?

Its similar, they need I think Universals approval.

Would prefer a asian to play Namor since asians are even more underrepresented, but I would be ok if they cast him with Michael.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

So I take it there's not going to be a Fant4stic 2 huh?

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Yeah, there's the chart. That's what I was talking about.

Straight from Feige's mouth regarding Namor:

IGN: Finally, there were rumours circulating awhile back that Universal and Legendary Pictures were developing a Sub-Mariner movie, but there was also some confusion about who holds the rights to the character. So could Legendary make that movie at this point?

Feige: No.

IGN: So if a film were to happen it would be you guys making it?

Feige: Yes, but it’s slightly more complicated than that. Let’s put it this way – there are entanglements that make it less easy. There are older contracts that still involve other parties that mean we need to work things out before we move forward on it. As opposed to an Iron Man or any of the Avengers or any of the other Marvel characters where we could just put them in.

So I take it there's not going to be a Fant4stic 2 huh?

Kinberg's talking about moving forward with FF period. He said he'd like to make a sequel and not reboot, but I mean - you can't always get what you want.

Then again, nothing saying he can't do both. If there was, we wouldn't be talking about him joining this movie, right?

 

[Zombine]

Michael B Jordan gonna get some recognition on the Comic Con floor when he steps out for coffee.

 

[tw1164]

I really hope this movie meets/exceeds everyone's expectations. I think the internet will break is it turns out to be a poor movie.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

This is what I wanted to see when Coogler joined on. That Human Torch redemption cycle.

Please tell me they're not touching Man-Ape with a 10 foot pole for this first Black Panther movie. The optics of that are...not good. I'll take Killmonger though.

 

[Moltisanti]

wow at the cast line up. cant wait

 

[Glass Rebel]

On one hand, I could MBJ pull off a great Namor.

On the other hand, I want them to cast an Asian actor for Namor.

 

[What did he mean by this?]

So Fox was nice enough to get the F4 cast out their contracts (that noncompetitor clause)

Fantastic 4 reboot coming 2022!

 

[BobbyRobby]

Nice, he was great in Creed.

3-D Man

Oh shit! Triathlon is in this!?!

Lol @ these deep cuts.

Is there a reason to believe he'd be Namor?

 

[Sojgat]

Young T'Chaka in flashbacks.

 

[Memory]

Dammit. Michael B. Jordan is a painfully average actor. He plays the same character in everything he's been in. I hope he has a small role.

That is 95% of Hollywood roles, you cast people what they are good at and known for. Only the biggest and no names shift roles often.

If you want role diversity you go to the stage which isn't 100% immune to this either.

 

[Parallax]

Nice, he was great in Creed.





Lol @ these deep cuts.

time runs out readers desperately want panther and namor in the movies

 

[Tom Nook]

MJ # 1: MBJ

MJ # 2: FOX

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Young T'Chaka in flashbacks.

Nah, not with that fancy deaging tech.

 

[NotLiquid]

So now that it's clear there shouldn't be conflict of interest in hiring actors already in one comic book movie of a rival studio can we please get J.K. Simmons for Homecoming even though he's in the DCEU

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Nice.

 

[broncobuster]

Slowly but surely every actor from Creed is joining the MCU.

 

[QuiteWhittle]

Marvel fucking loved Creed, didn't they?

IIRC, Feige claimed Creed was his favorite film last year in an interview.

 

[Sanjuro]

Slowly but surely every actor from Creed is joining the MCU.

Fuck Steps.
