slapfight? Cuz it's not productive.

Is there any synopsis about this movie? will they go all out and Beta Ray destroying planets with a swing of his hammer like that comic panel?

 

[Sanjuro]

Marvel has had a pretty good track record with casting talent, both proven or otherwise. Some people just like to bitch because they think someone of Blanchett's talent is being wasted on the MCU, as if actors and actresses were somehow obliged to take and turn down certain types of roles. The MCU is one of the biggest Hollywood franchises of all time, of course it's going to attract big name talent.

Marvel has been getting some big names as of late, likely in part because of how big the franchise has gotten. I gotta wonder though if Feige has been able to make better offers now that he has more control of the studio.

Does this talent get paid in similar quantities for quality of work?

 

[DonasaurusRex]

IT'S HAPPENING.

man it seems like the artistic talent behind these thor movies is stacked , why they choose the character direction and settings they choose is beyond me, they CAN do this, what a cool design. Gotta find a way to channel Journey Into Mystery into film form.

I'm not quite sure what you mean. Are you asking are they paid similarly for "quality" roles? That all depends on how you define quality work. I'd assume higher profile blockbuster work pays better than art films but what do I know? Actors agree to whatever compensation they sign on for though. Arguing an MCU role is somehow beneath an actor is pretty dumb regardless, even if the movies were universally panned (which isn't even close to their reception). Actors take on bad roles all the time. It's not like they know for certain how a movie will turn out beforehand. This one is likely a decent paycheck for a high profile role from a fairly reliable production studio.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Is Cate Blanchet a good actress?. She was great in LoTR but I haven't seen her in much else.

Watch Elizabeth. Come back in three hours and some change.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

Shes gonna play Surtur

 

[Slayven]

Shes gonna play Surtur

Over Keith David?

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

Over Keith David?

Damn I never knew I needed Keith David Surtur in my life until now

 

[watershed]

Time for Blanchett to ham it up?

 

[Slayven]

Damn I never knew I needed Keith David Surtur in my life until now

Now read this as Keith David

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

I hope she plays Kat Dennings mom and is just there for more comic relief.

 

[Magwik]

I hope she plays Kat Dennings mom and is just there for more comic relief.

You're a monster

 

[Dai101]

I hope she plays Kat Dennings mom and is just there for more comic relief.

She doesn't have that much talent to pull that feat.

 

[superdeluxe]

angela? Enchantress?

 

[dabig2]

angela? Enchantress?

Probably Hela.

FLickeringMyth: Rumour: Marvel wants a female villain for Thor: Ragnarok

“I have heard that Marvel is also planning on bringing their first major female villain into their cinematic universe,” gossip site of Elaine Lui is claiming. “I don’t know who the character is for sure, but there are a couple likely candidates from Asgard: Amora the Enchantress, a sorceress; or Hela, Queen of the Dead.”

Now the site does sound like its speculating with the options of Amora and Hela rather than basing that on information she’s heard, but they would be the likliest of candidates. Amora is one of Thor’s oldest foes and Hela would fit in with the Ragnarok storyline that was set up in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

The site also claims that Marvel want to bring in someone “Cate Blanchett big” for the role.

 

[Fuu]

Time for Blanchett to ham it up?

 

[Slayven]

I can see them doing Karnilla just for the headgear

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Over Keith David?

Now read this as Keith David

I now need this.

 

[jett]

Even QWEENS need to get paid sometimes.

I may watch this for Queen Cate.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

A true goddess joining the cast of Thor. Excellent news.

 

[Monocle]

I believe I speak for everyone with taste when I say FUCK YES.

Yup...

The designs they went with are still good, but they had better ones.

 

[MechDX]

Maybe being in a Marvel movie is the new "it" thing in Hollywood?

The actors they get is just astonishing.

 

[pseudocaesar]

Probably Alflyse so she can play another Elf Queen lol.

Unexpected news and a welcomed surprise.

Seabiscuit IS BETA RAY BILL!!

I need it too. Or just confirmation that he will be in it.

Shepard's pie doesn't have beef in. That's a cottage pie. Shepard's pie is always made with lamb (hence its name).

THR Is as good as the official source.

 

[BKatastrophe]

Surprise, she's Carol Danvers, and that Carol movie is just a prequel

SSSSHHHHH

There are children here!

Please make this happen.

TIME TO GROW UP, YA LITTLE PUNKS

 

[jmood88]

I was hardly the first one in this thread. My point stands, it was brought up by some posters just to continue this corny beef

My post had nothing to do with DC or continuing any kind of fanboy battle over companies, however.

Does this talent get paid in similar quantities for quality of work?

I don't understand your obsession with this. For one, we have no idea what she may be paid until she signs a contract and someone decides to leak the terms. Secondly, why do you care more than she does? If she ends up signing on for the movie, then she clearly thinks that the money is fine.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Maybe being in a Marvel movie is the new "it" thing in Hollywood?

The actors they get is just astonishing.

Yep, it's basically the equivalent of being in a Batman movie in the 90s. And most of the actors (sans Natalie Portman) seem to have fun with it. Michael Douglas did it for his kids so they could see him in a film. Lots of exposure, decent paycheck for a little work, it looks like a good gig for the supporting actors. I imagine directing one of these beasts is a circle of hell in of itself though haha

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Bad ass female?

Let's just ignore Enchantress then. Unless she's going to play Enchantress, which I can totally get behind.

 

[neorej]

First Mark Ruffalo, now Cate Blanchett, they REALLY want me to see this movie, right?

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I'm gonna guess Hela too, but Enchantress for her would be an interesting pick rather than some young hot blonde type

 

[Stiflers Mom]

This scene is my only gripe with FOTR.

 

[BBboy20]

Don't forget Mads mikkelsen.

WHAT!?

 

[jmood88]

WHAT!?

He's in Doctor Strange

 

[BBboy20]

He's in Doctor Strange

:O

 

[neorej]

WHAT!?

Sit down, breathe, get some water and get ready;







Mads Mikkelsen is in Doctor Strange.









Probably as Dormammu, according to rumors.

 

[SpaceWolf]

Death?

Patience.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Patience.

Yes!
