Ooooh. Sounds like it's imaginary Gene Kelly, which is even better! Holland as Astaire is making me very happy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I love both of those ideas!

Seriously? Physically they have got it completely the wrong way round. They should swap roles.
(It's like when tall Nicole Kidman played short Princess Grace, and short Naomi Watts played tall Princess Diana. They should have swapped too, though I doubt that would have made the films any better).

Gene Kelly had a more muscular, athletic approach to dance. I see Chris Evans portraying that better than Tom Holland. Astaire is more slender, with kind of an upper-class veneer. I could see Tom Holland in that.
Either way I'm looking forward to a movie with both of these men dancing.

I also believe that Gene Kelly had the best butt in mid-century cinema and I will die on that hill. (So Chris Evans is also a good choice for that purpose.)

Very good points, Calli. But I think they are in 2 different movies.

Awww. I'm also a little surprised that there are two movies about last century's movie dance stars in development featuring Marvel-related actors. Then again, who hasn't been in a Marvel movie at this point.

I feel like the overlap between dance movies and Marvel movies should be high
I don't know that it is, but it should be.
