[Dead Man]

I will preface this by saying I don't read Spiderman books, so if I am just ignorant, please educate instead of berate.

I think I like the character of Kraven, but his name drives me bonkers. How can anyone take him seriously when his name is 'coward the hunter'? Is there some backstory for his name that isn't in his Wiki page? I get it's a shortening of his real name, but I would rather they just used his actual name instead.

Stephen Lang would fit so many comic roles so well.

OG Nick Fury? Check.

Cable? Check.

Deathstroke? Check. He is the only acceptable substitute to replace the manliness of Manu for Deathstroke.

Stephen Lang would be perfect for lots of roles, basically any hard bastard.

Yet, he can be a smooth, charming bastard as well. That is why he is awesome.

Yup. Glad he has gotten some good if small roles over the years, really a great character actor.

Is Kraven = Coward russish? Most people dont speak russish, thats why we can take it seriously

Heh, but nope, it's English

Mary Elizabeth Winstead for MJ

She's perfect but too old for teen Peter :-(

 

[Anth0ny]

Can we just get Danny Elfman back for the score? Please?

 

[Prompto]

Perfection. Elfman is not as good as he used to be but I bet he could make some great work if he's working on Spider-Man again.

 

[E the Shaggy]

I really dislike Kraven the Hunter, but Mads as him is PERFECT casting.

 

[Skinny Pete]

I really dislike Kraven the Hunter, but Mads as him is PERFECT casting.

That really is great casting. Would love to see it.

 

[Village]

I want Kaya Scodelario as Black Cat

Is black cat necessary?

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Here's my cast picks:

Kraven the Hunter - Mads Mikkelsen

Obviously the best choice of all goddamn time. Mikkelsen would fucking kill as Kraven. We all know it.

But... I really want Mads to be Mr Freeze... that's my perfect role for him..

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Is black cat necessary?

I think so, yeah. I like that dynamic that she's all over him as Spidey, but he probably wouldn't stand a chance with her as Parker. It allows Pete to interact with a woman in a different way than he does MJ or Gwen.

 

[neorej]

Is black cat necessary?

If she's played by Kaya Scodelario? Absolutely.


Because reasons.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Mary Elizabeth Winstead for MJ

Yes.gif

She can be the lead for anything really.

 

[Cheebo]

Mary Elizabeth Winestead makes no sense. She can't play a high schooler. Doesn't help she is around 10 years older than those in discussions to play Parker.

 

[deadlast]

You guys are nuts. Kraven needs to be someone who is absolutely full of themselves and thinks they are better than anyone else. He needs to also be athletic.
I might sound crazy but this guy is my pick.
CM Punk

 

[Currygan]

Stephen Lang would fit so many comic roles so well.

OG Nick Fury? Check.

Cable? Check.

Deathstroke? Check. He is the only acceptable substitute to replace the manliness of Manu for Deathstroke.

bloody hell man, this is one of the best casting choices ever! Now I totally want a OG Nick Fury movie with Lang

 

[TimFL]

Bruce Campbell as Mysterio please. There were rumors that it was supposed to happen in the Raimi universe (they could've easily explained his numerous cameos as him messing with Peters life).

Bryan Cranston as Norman.

JK Simmons as JJJ (has to happen again).

I don't care about who gets to play Peter, I'll hate him anyways because I would be the perfect choice to portray Peter. Need to get my SAG Card already.

 

[Pachimari]

Saoirse Ronan needs to stay as far away as possible.

I want JK Simons to be back as JJ Jameson. And I want Mary Jane to be part of the plot again, no Black Cat yet.

And didn't the leaked emails say Tony would hand over a suit to Spidey, thus the Iron Spider suit?

I also want Kraven the Hunter as the villain in the first Spidey solo.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Can we just get Danny Elfman back for the score? Please?

He didn't do much the first time.

I remember Spidey 2's score being WAY better, even if it was still missing anything resembling a memorable theme or use of leitmotif. It's credited to Danny Elfman, but I remember there being a falling out and Raimi going to Christopher Young to rework a lot of it.

 

[DonasaurusRex]

But... I really want Mads to be Mr Freeze... that's my perfect role for him..

a waste, I'd be shocked if freeze ever shows up on film again ....

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Mads Mikkelsen is currently playing the best supervillain anywhere. I see no need for him to take time out of his schedule to play lesser chumps waiting to get their shit wrecked by teenagers in modified speed-skating outfits.

 

[E the Shaggy]

a waste, I'd be shocked if freeze ever shows up on film again ....

It's a long way away but I think the new DC Movieverse is way more positioned toward crazy powers and shit. Suicide Squad has a magic user, Enchantress, on it for example.

 

[Philippo]

Whoever suggested Odernik and M.E. Winstead/Moriarty is a good person.

 

[Cheebo]

Whoever suggested Odernik and M.E. Winstead/Moriarty is a good person.

Except Winestead is a baffling choice. She is in her 30s. We already know this is a high-school era parker from the leaks.

 

[Philippo]

I'm sure they can make her look younger, they made Garfield pass as a teenager while he was 29.

 

[Cheebo]

I'm sure they can make her look younger, they made Garfield pass as a teenager while he was 29.

Marvel said in the leaks Garfield was too old.... and she is a decade older than the two actors in talks for the Parker role. There is no possibility whatsoever of her being MJ with the young high-school direction they are going in by all indications.

Not to mention the picture of her in this thread is from the Die Hard 4 premiere...which was 8 years ago in 2007. And Scott Pilgrim was 5 years ago as well. This is her now. She looks fantastic but she looks her age which is 31. She does not look 16.

 

[anaron]

Yeah Odenkirk is a kinda perfect choice, NTGYK.

I adore Simmons as JJ, but it'd be a little distracting to have him back in a whole new universe.

 

[guek]

Is black cat necessary?

Well with how soon the franchise is being rebooted, it stands to reason they should try to incorporate elements that haven't been attempted on film. This means characters like Black Cat,

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

I can't remember, was Black Cat around during Spideys high school years?

 

[Cheebo]

I can't remember, was Black Cat around during Spideys high school years?

In the ultimate series she was.

 

[Village]

Why? though, like I don't know. He can finally hang out with the avengers black cat is kinda like a who gives a shit now.

 

[ratcliffja]

I can't remember, was Black Cat around during Spideys high school years?

Felicia was around the animated series. I would bet she was in the comics too.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

In the ultimate series she was.

Ah, right.

Felicia was around the animated series. I would bet she was in the comics too.

The 90s animated series? Because I'm sure that takes place after high school.

I'll just go Google this myself, heh.

 

[JaseC]

Saoirse Ronan needs to stay as far away as possible.

...and choose more interesting roles.

 

[Avixph]

I can't remember, was Black Cat around during Spideys high school years?

It did in the Spectacular Spider-Man show.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Just checked, she first appeared in 1979, when Peter was no longer in high school.

It did in the Spectacular Spider-Man show.

I still need to watch that. It'll probably help me ease in to the idea of Spidey and Black Cat knowing each other that early.

 

[Sou Da]

Ah, right.

The 90s animated series? Because I'm sure that takes place after high school.

I'll just go Google this myself, heh.

In Spectacular she was around 19-20ish while Peter was near the end of being a Sophmore in high school.

 

[Skilletor]

In the ultimate series she was.

One of the most hilarious moments ever:

 

[Pai Pai Master]

oh dang you haven't watched spectacular spider-man? man I wish I could see it again for the first time. great show.

they did a great job with her characterization in that show. and the character designs are super cute.

Damn i definitely stopped at Scott Pilgrim :/

 

[munchie64]

One of the most hilarious moments ever:

The problems of calling yourself Spider-MAN

 

[Green Mamba]

Why? though, like I don't know. He can finally hang out with the avengers black cat is kinda like a who gives a shit now.

Because Black Cat is an established Spider-man character. Why wouldn't you use established Spider-man characters in Spider-man? It's not like Iron Man or Captain America are going to be making regular appearances in solo Spider-man movies.

 

[superdeluxe]

Why not keep Felicty Jones as Black Cat?

 

[Eidan]

Can we just get Danny Elfman back for the score? Please?

Man the Elfman Spider-Man score is such a forgettable, poor man's Batman score.

 

[Rean]

One of the most hilarious moments ever:

Did she throw up on him or did he piss himself?

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Man the Elfman Spider-Man score is such a forgettable, poor man's Batman score.

Its awesome.

 

[flkraven]

Did she throw up on him or did he piss himself?

 

[Anth0ny]

Man the Elfman Spider-Man score is such a forgettable, poor man's Batman score.

what the fuck

it's the most memorable score of the modern comic book movie era... by far. the only thing that comes close to me is Avengers 1.
