They might be going with the Golden Age Cheetah, Priscilla Rich, who is described as 'a 1940s-era blonde Washington, D.C. debutante of aristocratic upbringing who also has an overwhelming inferiority complex and suffers from a split personality and self-importance.'

That would be a better fit for Wiig, IMO.

I guess. Even Minerva has a bit of an inferiority complex. She just hides it well and is a bit more vicious.

That is plausible though, as the movie is rumored to be set in the 50s.

I dunno if Wigg is physical enough for the Cheetah part of it either way. She's tiny, and I dunno that her voice will work for the beast side.

She's got to seem capable enough to stand up to Diana, and like I said, Gal Gadot seems like she'd break Kristen Wigg in half. I don't know that a year or so with a personal trainer is going to fix that.

We'll see. The last one was good, so I'll see it at least. Maybe Patty and Kristen can surprise me and pull it off.

Still, the current state of DC movies has taught me not to get my hopes up, and to expect bad casting and failure to live up to potential.

None of the DC movies are terrible really, but they've made a habit of taking some of the most iconic characters in comics and making mediocre movies that royally screw up the characters.

It took them three movies to figure out how to make Clark act like Superman. Batman was straight up murdering people. Batfleck is trying to bail. They screwed up Lex and the Joker royally. They only seem to want to draw from iconic comics that don't really fit the movies they're making or the time frame. Doomsday was there for no good reason. It was too soon for Superman to die, and they completely missed the point of the Dark Knight Returns. Lex apparently doesn't know how to science for some reason, etc, etc, etc...

They should have used Bizzaro for that final sequence in BvS. In the comics he's a clone Lex made of Superman. He didn't need a magic spaceship pool and it would have been a good way to establish him as both a genius and a threat.

The difference between Marvel and DC is that Marvel is actually getting comic book nerds to make their movies and the studio is letting them rather than micro managing and focus testing them to death.

Marvel also took the time to establish the characters and worldbuild before going for the big team up movies. They should have given everyone in the Justice League at least one solo movie before even trying to make that movie. Half the problem of it was that it was trying to set everyone up for most of the movie. Marvel didn't need to do that with Avengers, and that's part of why it worked.

Artemis Fowl Cast List Confirmed

Who the hell okayed this list? Judi Dench as Julius Root? Nonso Anozie as Butler? Did these people not read the books?
This is Hollywood we are talking about- accuracy and faith to the books never mattered. Making a profit according to 'survey says this is popular' and politics is what drives this train.

That being said, I'll reserve actual judgment until I see a trailer.

I can't decide if this is going to be awesome fun or a terrible mess.
 
So a Jaws remake then?

Stupid fun.

Though, no one would be allowed to kill something like that if it was found. It's an action/horror movie, I get it, but conservationists would be all over that.

If I recall parts of the book correctly, the conservationist group and the (reality TV) media group were all over that. ... until it ate them. Things didn't go so well after that.

Trailer looked good, just hope the symbiote's tongue is longer than just that, just doesn't feel right without the "holy shit" long tongue.

I saw that trailer when I went to see Infinity War. Looks fun.

Rumor has it that the movie will involve time travel. Possibly back to the 80s.

Captain Marvel is also going to be set in the 80s, and the villains are rumored to be the Skrulls.

Those two movies might tie together more than the trailers are letting on. I'm thinking we may see Captain Marvel get introduced in Ant Man and the Wasp towards the end of the movie, and that the crew from this film may have roles in her movie as well.

These two films may actually not be a bridge between the two Avengers movies, and may actually be setting up the next phase, which I'm thinking will be the Secret Invasion storyline.

I'm thinking maybe some of the Skrulls might "hitch a ride" into the future when the trio from this movie comes back and set things up. Possibly by replacing Hope or possibly posing as Janet, who is also rumored to show up in this movie.

Also, you know Dr. Doom will be entering the mix soon along with the Fantastic Four, now that Disney owns the rights to them.

The best thing about that deal is some of the villains they've gotten back. It would be great to finally see Doom done right on the big screen.

Also, if time travel is involved, Kang could be a big bad as well.

Well, don't I feel like an idiot. Was unaware of that. Thanks for informing me.

Yeah, that one caught me out too.
To be fair, I was fooled the first time I ran into one of Smasher's vids, a few months ago, because they are that high-quality. He/she fools lots of people.
