That's fine, I'd rather drive myself up the Hershey Highway to SommerRayVille.

Heh.
Brings me back to the sad fact that Milla Jovovich would've made a much better BW.
Not in this MCU, of course. In something more comicbooky, silly and stylish... Eh, too good for this world.

And she's actually Russian, and in her Prime was hotter even with her flat chest.

Re: Black Widow Movie

It was pretty hawt when she Road housed that CGI Cerberus wearing the Red Dress & boots
- I really liked Res 1, just a shame the other movies were dreadful

Exactly.

Re: Black Widow Movie

Does beg the question who they will get to play a lot of the characters going forward.
- I understand her Contract is a little different then most of the others, hence why this has finally been signed off, but yeah going forward I do wonder who is going to play Wolverine, Tony Stark and a few others.

Do they do a Jane Foster Thor?

Re: Black Widow Movie

Like Hawkeye, comic Widow is a lot more interesting than the movie version. But she deserves a movie as much as Ant-Man or Dr. Strange. So, why not? I guess all the #METOO stuff is prompting the studio to put its money where its mouth is. Maybe it will work, and maybe it will make money. I'm sure I'll see it like I see all the Marvel movies.

Jovovich can't act her way out of a paper bag. But she was gorgeous about 20 years ago, no doubt.

Re: Black Widow Movie

If it's scar jo and done right I'll see it.

Agreed.
I can't blame ScarJo for that though. Do feel Marvel has been crap/safe with most of the Females thus far.
- Which is why I'd want a 15/18 (Rated R in the us right?) certificate, to give us (even if it's an origin story) a decent 'gritty' non Disney send off for ScarJo's BW.

Re: Black Widow Movie

This would've been better eight years ago. I don't know if Black Widow / Scarlett can carry a movie by herself anymore.





I'm wondering how many people will see this - especially after GitS bombed.

Re: Black Widow Movie

Yikes.

Re: Black Widow Movie

She was fine as Major, the issue (IMO) was they played it a little too safe and went after all audiences and made the bad guy a one dimensional villain.

It was good to look at and I enjoyed it for the most, but I don't think she had anything to do with a so-so script. Same with Lucy, decent enough but the script let it down, and the same thing will probably make or break BW as a movie.

I also don't think she has the say the acting prowess of JLaw who I do feel will no doubt deliver a strong/powerful performance in Red Sparrow. We'll see, ScarJo can hold her own, but this will succeed or fail on how safe they play it and the strength of the script.

Maybe we'll find out about budapest

That is true. Too bad we won't see a DD/BW crossover. Heck, we won't even see a WS/BW one...

Same goes for Chris Hemsworth. Plus a lot of MCU characters are pretty cheesy anyway. Most of these movies are disposable entertainment, good acting chops doesn't add much to their characters.

They aren't meant to be Hitchcock films, I'll give you that. And the actors don't need to be Gary Oldman. But Hemsworth, and nearly everyone cast in these films is serviceable. Seeing Jovovich in those Resident Evil movies, and that outer space movie. . . She's barely soap opera good.

Definitely R rating and IMO this is a beautiful woman who can act and kick ***. I always think of that TWS scene with her talking to Cap "would you trust me to do it?" It's perfection. That's the way to do a quieter scene in an action film.

LOL RDJ got some light highlights in his hair re the last leaked pics. I dunno maybe w. color grading things will look a lot different.

Re: Black Widow Movie

Can I just say, Gary Oldman (villain) in the MCU = YES!

Re: Black Widow Movie

He's certainly willing to slum it for a paycheck!
