    problem is most actors they're probably going to get for the role is going to be too tall. i'd bet most guys in hollywood are 6ft. i'm not sure they're going to cast relative unknowns at this point like they did with hugh. i think they'll go for a name for wolverine.

    Not the right guy to play the role, but I respect his enthusiasm. When he's all scruffy with his natural dark brown hair, though, I can certainly see how some people could entertain the idea. In real life, he looks remarkably nothing like he does as Homelander.

    To his credit, he is just soooooo good as Homelander, it would be hard to ever see him as an actual hero. He owns that role every bit the way many other actors own their superohero/villain roles - he just needs to proudly keep THAT feather in his cap.

    Outside of a handful of legitimately tall/big guys like Hemsworth, Jackman, Johnson, Evans or any of the go-to muscle head action dudes, most guys in everything we watch are actually in the 5'8 - 5'11 range just made to LOOK 6'0.

    A little tidbit from this: Sokovia Accords

    Ultimately, the dysfunction resulting from the Accords was, at the very least, a necessary contributing factor to the Avengers' first outright failure, as Thanos managed to obtain all of the Infinity Stones, leading to him wiping out half of all life not just on Earth, but in the universe.

    More proof that the Sokovia Accords were one huge motherfucking mistake.

    It's also only natural to set up a system of checks and balances seeing as how the Avengers played a part in wiping out an entire city from the map.

    Technically, Stark and Banner were the only Avengers who created Ultron behind the other's backs. Plus, Pietro and Wanda were the only one's who helped Ultron steal the Vibranium that was used to wipe out said entire city from the map.

    So that means technically the families of the people murdered by Ultron's actions know who to sue.

    That's still 1/3 of the Avengers who caused that. It certainly calls into question what the others were doing while that was happening.

    As a dramatic tool, the Sokovia Accords also made things more difficult for the protagonists, which is a good thing for the audience. Things would be pretty dull if all the characters just agreed on everything.

    I would pay money to watch Banner get handed a summons for court.

    Preferably from a distance...

    28boseman-obit-articleLarge.jpg I know it's not Transformers but still what a sad loss for the entertainment industry and for all marvel fans all over the globe.

    Delete this or lock it but I felt it should be posted.

    I was really starting to love his character. Chadwick himself seemed like such an amazing dude. Man right as he was really becoming huge.

    Pretty sweet thing of the Disney/Marvel/ABC collective to do tonight. Thought I'd share for those that didn't know about it...

    The tribute that followed the movie... my god, I'm still gutted by it. Unbelievably more impactful and emotional than I was prepared for. Wow.

    Sadly, contrary to what others have wrongly been asserting, it's been coming out that neither Marvel, BP's director Ryan Coogler, or even most of Boseman's closest friends including Michael B. Jordan had any idea at all that he was sick, let alone terminally. He could have been surrounded by nothing but support & love from so many friends, colleagues, peers, even fans... but he still chose to brave it alone. Right until the end. There are no words for that level of immeasurable selflessness. What an amazing human being.
