If we can't have Katee Sackhoff, I vote for Gwendolyn Christie.
I have strong feelings about the waifish superheroine casting habit.
Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I would imagine Marvel would want to cast Carol Danvers younger. Katee Sackhoff is 34 this year, so will be 38 when the movie comes out. For franchise potential, I think they'd want to go with someone in their mid to late 20's (early 30's at most at the time of the shooting). One could argue that RDJ was in his early 40's when the first Iron Man came out, but I doubt they'd be as flexible when they're dealing with their first headlining female superhero on big screen.

Jamie McKelvie suggested Emily Blunt, which is sort of a curveball, but I can see it.
Huh. I liked her a lot in Edge of Tomorrow, where she made a fab action heroine. Plus it would kinda be a full circle since they originally tapped her as their Black Widow...
I don't know much about her other than what I read from wiki -- she's got super strength and can fly (I think?) and she's tall and blonde. Does she have any specific personality traits? Like, Tony is an arrogant asshole, Steve is earnest and decent, Bruce is tormented, etc. What's Carol like?

I learned on Twitter that she's a big Star Wars nerd, and also she punches dinosaurs.

OMG, the public must be protected from such a mummified hag appearing as a Marvel hero!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Someone on some website (which narrows it down, of course) was saying that the guy they've cast as Black Panther is too old.

Hey, I'm not endorsing that school of thought. Just that Hollywood has a long standing history of sexism that makes it unlikely for them to have an actress pushing 40 headline their potential franchise-making vehicle. Maybe they'll prove me wrong.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
OK, the AoU teaser during SHIELD was a lot of fun. It looked like Mjolnir actually moved a bit for Steve which I loved.

I thought I saw that too, Kalshane! Isn't he able to pick it up in the comics? I mean, Steve seems like one of the dudes who WOULD be close to worthy.

Someone on Twitter suggested Anna Torv for Carol, which I could go along with. (Although I think I've read, like, four panels of a Captain Marvel comic....) But still, Katee Sackoff seems so perfect for it, and lack of height certainly didn't interfere with casting RDJ.
