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.
Not in my head they aren't!

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.
Dancing...Marvel...
Downey and Hemsworth are pretty great in this, but I think Hiddleston and Evans (gotta pay attention if you haven't seen this) are the stars
I had see it and it took me a minute to remember Evans! This one seems longer, and includes more Clark Gregg and Mark Ruffalo (who are my favs), I think! Also, for some reason I do not like Jeremy Renner (He strikes me as a poor man’s Nathan Fillion, which is ridiculous because he is a much bigger star), but he seems like he has had professional training.
Honestly, that mostly made me want to watch 13 Going On 30!
