Not bad. Downey was a good choice it seems.

Not to mention he's a big fan of the Iron Man comics.

 

I mark out for high profile actors who are comic fans - ala Nicholas Cage, Samuel L. Jackson, Topher Grace, etc.

The fact that there is a multi thread debate on Samuel Jackson playing Nick Fury (because Nick Fury is white, you see) is probably the reason that I don't even go to IMDB boards anymore. They got more annoying than gamefaqs, and that is impressive.

It used to be good for laughs, like checking out a wrestling mark board where they still believed in the kayfabe storylines, but IMDB is just annoying now. I can't even get a good laugh out of it anymore. Its ESPN comments section bad.

 

I can still count on gamefaqs though.

Dude, if it is anything where it was one time written that character is white, there are numerous threads talking about how the movie will be horrible because of the character being played by a black guy.

 

Even Casino Royale when a incredible actor like Jeffrey Wright is the guy in question, there were like 10 threads talking about how Felix Leiter was supposed to be white thus it would suck.

 

If you are pissed about Jeffrey Wright being in a movie, then you don't deserve to see films at all.

 

Ripper - really likes Jeffrey Wright.

Feh, I can't believe they're even arguing over that one too. Nick Fury was black in Marvel's Ultimate universe...

IIRC, Fury's Ultimate Version was modeled AFTER Samuel L. Jackson anyway. I'm pretty sure they intended him to be like Samuel L. when they re-invented him for the Ultimate universe. I actually think all recent portrayls of Fury have been black too, like even in the video games and everything lately.

My thing is why would you care at all? I could understand if they got 50 Cent to play the part of Fury. I would be pissed too. I don't understand bitching when a GOOD actor gets a part because of his race.

 

I even understand if you are complaining because the race of the character has something to do with the character, say if you were to do Cloak and Dagger and wanted a black actress to play Dagger or a black Captain America, or a white storm or black panther. But geez, they bitch about everything.

On top of that Leiter was, if i remember correctly, a tall blonde haired blue eyed white guy in the book. I don't think anyone that has played him fit that bill completely.

 

I think Jack Lord was the closest of all the actors to potray Felix Leiter. The whole changing the actor of Felix in every Bond film was an annoying as fuck running gag. I hated that.

 

Ultimate Alliance had the white Fury.

 

Yeah, I found that odd.

What about Dolph man?!?! The world needs more Ivan Drago!

Actually, his eyes may not be blue. Scratch him off then.

 

Also, that is a fun little trailer. I really hope they keep it nice and simple like that, maybe add a few more shots here and there but nothing that gives away too much of the film. Nothing ruins a movie more for me than trailers that give away everything start to finish. Like Spider-man 3.
