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.
OMG, the public must be protected from such a mummified hag appearing as a Marvel hero!
Jimmy Olsen jokes're pretty much gonna be lost on you, huh?

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.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Thanks to PMM, now I need to add: 5) I want to see BC do a comedy.
Penguins of Madagascar!
Though technically, that would be hearing him do a comedy.

P-C: Yes, he's done it before. I'm not super-versed in the comics lore, but I believe at times Mjolnir's measure of worthiness depends on the situation at hand. Which is the writer's answer for "Why doesn't so and so just grab Thor's hammer?" all the time. As for the teaser, Thor's grin fading when the hammer twitched was great, too.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Yes -- the look on Thor's face was PRICELESS. But I couldn't stop laughing at Tony and Rhodey. "Are you on my team?" "Just represent. Pull!" Also LOVED Black Widow's comment. "That's not a question I need answered."
I also totally think there's sparkage between Natasha and Banner. I'm good with that.
(Do we need to whitefont this? It's not a trailer, but it is a publicly available clip.)

I still wish they'd gone the route of having Steve pick it up and move it offhandedly to get at a coffee pot or something, before being aware that there was anything special about doing so.
