I'm so interested in this "Nick Furry".

Nick Furry. It's the leader of S.H.I.E.L.D., with interesting fetishes...

The 80's already had a Thor, Eric Kramer from "The Incredible Hulk Returns"

Vincent D'Onofrio played Thor in the 80s. Look it up, kids.

David Hasselhoff would be Nick Fury

Kurt Russel as Nick Fury makes more sense if it in the 80's, already got the eye patch look down with Snake Pliskin

Burt Reynolds was too past his prime in the 80s.

And Alan Rickman, prior to Die Hard in '88 was largely a theatre actor, and wouldn't have been considered for a film with a cast like that.

I would have gone with Tom Selleck

I always saw Patrick Swayze as Wolverine if they'd made X-Men in the 80s but he totally fits as Cap too.

So was '00s Nick Fury. Black Fury is based on the movie universe (for the Ultimate comic universe.)

Black Furry only exists because they modeled him after Samuel L Jackson.

This is an amazing dream cast. No doubt the costumes would blow though.

I'd watch the shit out of this. Only one I'm hesitant on is Mel cause I don't think he has a sense of humor fit for Hawkeye

I feel like you might not be old enough to remember the Lethal Weapon movies... it was pre-nutbag Mel Gibson.

Out of sheer morbid curiosity I'd almost want to see a version where Bill Murray plays him.

Of course, you know it would be an Ed Norton situation where he kept demanding more and more creative control and wound up walking.

Was I the only one really impressed with how they de-aged him for Ant-Man's intro sequence? It was even better than Tron Legacy's.

10 years ago | Likes 16 Dislikes 0

De-aged RDJ was pretty impressive/creepy in Civil War.

10 years ago | Likes 16 Dislikes 1

Didn't detract from the scene it was in much though. There was a bad screening shot in the airport fight and that still kicked ass.

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Yeah it looked a bit wonky, which is weird considering how scarily good the same trick was in Ant-Man.

In the 80s Hank Pym was the Antman

But in the 2010's Hank Pym is Hank Pym. Just using 80s actors for avengers characters.

10 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 0

Hank Pym was Ant-Man in World War II, in the new films. There is old timey footage that shows nazis being knocked out

His point is soaring above your head so far it might as well be considered a satellite.

If you read comments we've already addressed that a few times.

I agreed until they hit Michelle Pfieffer. I don't think she has/had the same allure Scar Jo

Pfeiffer's plenty sexy but she doesn't have that bombshell/kickass spy quality.

In the 80s? Pfieffer was the IT girl. I was gonna say I don't buy her as a physical character but I bought her as Catwoman so...
