Hey guys, feel free to correct me if I made a mistake in the OT. I have the feeling that IMDB is not that correct on a couple of things here...

Also Fits with Rachel McAdams rumored role as Night Nurse.

Recasting Night Nurse instead of using Rosario Dawson seems to be a strong suggestion that the Marvel film department isn't planning on taking anything from television anytime soon.

Yeah you have to be new to comic books if this surprises you. Captain America, Superman, and Batman all started in the 40s.

The 1640's? Damn they are older than I thought. Cap must have been ahead of its time to predict world war 2 a few hundred years before it happened.

So Night Nurse is in this? I thought Rosario Dawson was her...huh.

They originally planned for Dawson to play a form of the Night Nurss character but were told by Marvel that they had film plans for her. So they kinda just didn't call her Night Nurse in Daredevil.

This is easily the MCU movie I'm looking forward to the most. Can't wait to see Cumberbatch in the outfit.

But the question is, will he have the giant collar?

Holy crap, captain america predates AMERICA!?

The original stories are Amerigo Vespucci fanfiction where he gets promoted to commanding the ships in his expeditions as "Capitano Amerigo" instead of just tagging along.

His origin story's been retconned a lot since then.

Probably my most anticipated Marvel moving coming up with Black Panther, I can't freaking wait.

I think my only contribution to the thread is that I have heard rumors from multiple sources that Mads Mikkelsen may have a role in the film as well (with one source claiming he is, or is voicing Dormammu)

That's pretty good. In an ideal world he would be Doctor Doom-but Marvel getting those rights back is so far away if at all ever possible, that he would be so much older by that time.

Rosario Dawson is Claire Temple, even if she has parts of Night Nurse folded in. Steve Deknight said she was originally going to be Night Nurse, then the word came down that the MCU had some plans for her, so they used elements of it and amalgamated it with Claire Temple.

Hope the music is good, I'm tired of how vanilla the soundtracks have been in the MCU. Get like Silver Mt. Zion to do the score.

I'd love another great soundtrack from the MCU. Phase 1 had some really strong ones (Iron Man 1, Cap 1)...heck, Doyle's work on Thor remains the best in the MCU. But there have been very few standouts in Phase 2 (a few tracks from Winter Soldier, a few tracks from Guardians).

Only after discovering the fountain of youth and venturing down south to Antarctica. You should also check out the Spanish spinoff tale Señor Florida, which chronicles Ponce de León's wildly off the mark attempt to rediscover the fountain a few years later once Amerigo vanished. Marvel's been using it as the basis for a bunch of their "failed super serum knockoff" plots over time.
