>Marvel Studios is eyeing Emma Watson ("Harry Potter") to star in Cate Shortland's BLACK WIDOW alongside Scarlett Johansson, in the secondary female lead role described as a "kick-ass female James Bond".
>Although Watson is the studio's favorite, Florence Pugh ("Fighting for My Family") is also on their radar, and Alice Englert ("Beautiful Creatures") and Dar Zuzovsky ("Neighborhood") have recently impressed the studio with their auditions.
>Casting is also underway for the main villain. The studio is looking for a black British or African actor in the 30-45 age range to portray a "tough, dangerous and mysterious criminal". Also being cast are an older European couple in the 50-60 age range, and a "Paul Dano-type" for a bookish American male in his 20's.
Shes bland as fuck. So this is actually a good fit to compliment Scarjo.
Camden Wood
Why are they so afraid of picking women who actually look like they could hold their own in a fight? It's always twigs and Barbies.
Andrew Hernandez
No studio is going to cast an unknown or C to D lister especially for a MCU crapfest. Its gonna be someone well known who can put asses in seats.
Jason Jones
Villain.
Jason Baker
>It's another Disney twist villain episode
Ryan Gutierrez
Shit character's shit film has shit actress in it.
Can't wait for Disney to manufacture another controversy when this female-led film is bad too.
Matthew Jenkins
Which it won't be because Black Widow is awesome
Easton Martin
Outside the Pyms, every major name actor in the MCU tends to be the villains. I doubt Watson will stay on long.
John Cruz
So far, none of the casting info really matches up with any traditional BW foes or allies, which is really confusing.
I wonder if this secondary female lead might be Yelena Belova, which would kind of suck! Purism is dumb but I don't think you can do the Yelena Belova story and have it be thematically resonant without keeping the same exact set-up: she's the replacement Black Widow who wants to usurp the title. Making them contemporaries really just fucks up the whole dynamic.
>a "Paul Dano-type" for a bookish American male in his 20's. I suspect this might be her Q-equivalent. Her supporting cast has a lot of gaps, but I've always been shocked that none of her recent books tried to give her a gadget guy. It'll actually make me kind of sad if the movies get around to doing it first
Mason Allen
If she bucks the trend of every appearance in nearly every medium so far, maybe.
Cooper Parker
>Emma Watson Nope, she cannot act and is a cunt. There will be more issues with the film due to her involvement if selected.
>Florence Pugh Eh, she isn't bad.
>Alice Englert and/or Dar Zuzovsky Not familiar enough with these two to make a comment.
Matthew Long
>>Emma Watson >Nope, she cannot act and is a cunt. There will be more issues with the film due to her involvement if selected. They need "issues" to cover for how bad the film will be, and she draws the HP audience.
Jaxon Lee
>They need "issues" to cover for how bad the film will be, and she draws the HP audience. While I am not a fan of HP. One of my friends is a die-hard and she hates how much of a cunt Emma has become over the years. Perhaps it is due to how much of an outspoken hypocrite she is regarding various topics (do as I say, not as I do) or how she just isn't a good actress and the HP movies hide that.
Either way, the crossover to have the HP fans flock to a BW movie would be extremely small.
Jackson Perry
It's kind of funny that the MCU got to a point where all the big actors want in and suddenly starts to bring the quality down. Like, where are the Chris Evens and Hemsworths they should be looking for? Why are we going for such big names now?
Charles Stewart
>No studio is going to cast an unknown or C to D lister especially for a MCU crapfest Thor was literally Hemsworth's third big movie role.
Wyatt Johnson
We all "knew" it would eventually occur. Popular actor or actress dismissed the MCU or DCU as capeshit that would bog down their career years ago. Now, they view it as a stepping stone to get more exposure to people who may not watch their normal films.
I'm shocked that bigger names weren't brought into the fold after Robert D JR results.
Cooper Powell
Since when is Emma a cunt? What happened?
John Campbell
Go read or listen to comments made over the past few years. She went from a decent actress to having a huge ego. This was around the time #metoo began and I guess she thought she could use that to get whatever she wanted.
Anthony Green
Since 1945 when the good guys lost the war and the ))))))United Nations((((((( were created by (((Rockerfeller))), the OOTrilateral CommissionOO and the [[]]ILLUMINATI[[]].
I thought her career died after she couldn't blow Weinstein anymore
Nicholas Brooks
oh no no no no she's not graceful at all, we need a former ballerina or just someone super sexy to do it

Cameron Barnes
why? so the two of them can have a can't-act-off?
Joshua Powell
Black Widow isn't James Bond. She's Jason Bourne. A brainwashed meat puppet assassin.
Gavin White
Muscles intimidate the mouth breathing beta cucks that watch comic book films.
Ian Roberts
She's a hooters girl. If she wasn't attractive no one would give a fuck.
Xavier Ramirez
Okay? So you're upset shes not acting like a 50s housewife on Twitter?
Levi Peterson
This "a-lister" didnt have a single movie last year
Jonathan Williams
Re-read your comment. Think about how you sound fag.
There were always big names just not as leads, but as villains or side characters. After RDJ Paul Rudd was probably the biggest and he's basically a meme actor, Cumberbatch was pretty big I guess at least in the Brit/nerd/millennial circles, probably not to Americans at large. Can't speak for Boseman. They cast Brie cause she got an Oscar but I don't think she's particularly well-known otherwise.
Kayden Stewart
Emma Watson was not the thing that destroyed Beauty and the Beast. The remake was horrible all on its own, right down to the basic premise of a live action remake of Disney's Beauty and the Beast.
Brayden Sanders
They cast Brie because they wanted a transgender actress to resonate with the LBTQ American marvel fans which make up at least 70% of their fans.
James Kelly
Pratt was not famous, he was best known for playing an idiot supporting character on Parks and Rec but that doesn't equal famous.
Charles Jones
HaHA more like BLACKED widow
(How did you faggots go 50+ posts without this)
Nicholas Jones
Why do people here actually give a shit after the quality of the MCU has basically declined to the point of no return? They aren't even trying anymore, just give it a rest
Thomas Ortiz
Emma is not going to waste her time being a D-List marlel girl and why are you wasting our time with a stupid click bait site?
Xavier White
>Rachel Weisz yes please
Isaiah Myers
This is the same Emma Watson that was willing to play herself in a post-apocalyptic world where she thought Jonah Hill was going to rape her. People just love to hate on her because she has opinions. She has been nothing but a fine actress. Everyone expected her to vanish as an adult so they could just masturbate to pictures of hermoine once they knew Emma herself was over 18.
Jack Perez
Because we don't have the sense of humor of a 3 year old.
>ugly women are trannies The level of delusion this board suffers from in the last few years just keeps getting worse and worse
Nicholas Morris
Brie Larson is a privileged straight white cis blonde female, that's the opposite of what you're referring to. She's just being a massive attention whore to promote her movie.
Chase Murphy
>2010 Oh wow, Brie Larson is hot! >2019 How dare she have opinions, trannie!
Joshua Lee
Fuck off to feminist reddit, dumbass. They're (Brie and Emma) ugly trannies and so are you for wanking off to them
Julian Ortiz
>No, money down! - the post Nice one. You sure showed me up.
No one in 2010 who isnt a redditfag like you ever thought she was hot. Brie Larson is a shit actress and a arrogant fuck, regardless of whether she is ugly or a tranny.
Joshua Smith
This is high tier revisionism. Or user is too young to have seen Scott Pilgrim.
John Allen
For all it's shittiness, Beauty and the Beast should've at least had great costume porn and we couldn't even get that because Emma whined about wearing a corset.
Evan Ward
>high tier revisionism How is it revisionism when only you from 2010 thought she was hot?
Elijah Fisher
really? Everyone I knew thought Emma was beautiful and a good actress and Beauty and the Beast was a good movie. You must have shit taste then.
Luke James
Nah, you just keep company with morons.
Chase Ramirez
Or maybe you just don't have any friends.
Blake Parker
I must have been sleeping under a fucking mountain, I didn't realize that movie made that much money, I was barely even aware it existed.
Julian Hughes
>Bladwin
Logan Cruz
I don't believe Black Widow can hold a movie on her own I'm surprised it's not just a Secret Avengers movie starring War Machine, Flacon, Winter Solider, Cap, and Antman for comedic relief.
Easton Thompson
You say that like Gal isnt fucking Wonder Woman
Camden Bailey
It SHOULD have Falcon, Winter Soldier, and probably Hawkeye. She has a lot of unresolved plotlines with a lot of the avengers. That is best case scenario. We need to know if she is actually long lived (she might be older than she seems), what all she knows, who is she actually loyal to and who was she loyal to in the past. She has a lot of plot lines, just a question if they can formulate a movie.
What has been the best Black Widow plotline?
Elijah Collins
Do you even need to ask? She's left as fuck which means evil asshole to modern Yea Forums
Thomas Lewis
Outside of Parks and Rec, Pratt paid his dues with a bunch of supporting roles before becoming an A-lister after Guardians of the Galaxy (which was itself a surprise hit). He was in Moneyball, Zero Dark Thirty, and Her.
Even Daniel Radcliffe has reinvented himself as a serious actor and is actually on the verge of a second act of his career.
Meanwhile, Watson hasn't really done anything post-HP aside from that easily forgettable live action Beauty and the Beast.
Charles Cox
What if she's Spider-Woman?
Noah Fisher
Watson did all the UN stuff while Radcliffe went theatre.
Ryder Jackson
Black Widow could hold a movie, but not MCU movie. She just doesn't have the power level, so it's dumb she's part of the main cast anyway, and doesn't disappear after information-gathering stage.
Evan Hall
She was in This is the End, Noah, and The Circle. Not the best (This is the End was at least fun), but it isn't like she has been hiding.
Liam Nguyen
I just like to stare at her harry potter panty shot.
Justin Wood
Oh wow they're actually making a black widow movie. Even Hawkeye would have been more interesting
Jack Turner
I liked her as Hermione but wow did she ever turn into a massive cunt.
Easton Bailey
Emma Watson just doesn't have a lot of charisma or charm. She did really well as Hermione but I haven't liked her performances in anything else. She also looks oddly young given that she's in her late 20s and not in a versatile way IMO. To me she looks odd trying to look sexy or mature or sophisticated so I wonder how she'd fit in well in a Black Widow movie.
She went to Oxford and pretty much retired from the spotlight for a bit, at least in an acting capacity. Given the shooting schedule of the HP films I'm not surprised she wanted a break but I think she's been too absent. She should have done more small films or even voice acting or something. I guess people think of her as a hot ticket but to me she's playing catch up with her career.
Connor Morales
Extremely cute when she showed up in Community, too
Alexander Watson
The live action Beauty and the Beast was mostly anticipated by normies to see how Belle’s iconic rococo dress would be translated in real life. Emma shat all over the costume designer, because she had to wear a corset and god forbid you have to wear something to make the setting more believable (in this case, 1700s France) So, Emma claimed it wasn’t “””feminist enough””” and decided to design the dress to her liking. In the end, it turned out to look like a simple prom dress. No ruffles, no lace, no trace of the rococo aesthetic, just a boring yellow drape which I believe was stapled and had gold glitter glue all over it. Imagine how the original costume designer must’ve felt.
Isaac Gomez
>The live action Beauty and the Beast was mostly anticipated by normies to see how Belle’s iconic rococo dress would be translated in real life. I'm pretty sure "normies" just anticipate the songs, my man

I think you underestimate the appeal of costume porn to women

She isn't the only one with yellow fever. Asian boys are cute.

Wow. She genuinely should be executed for that imo

I think a heavily implied lesbian scene, with some bondage for good measure, with Scarjo topping little Emma effortlessly.
But how long should such a scene be?
Jacob Wood
> Plays a bimbo in Bling Ring. > Is totally convincing.
What does this mean?
Caleb Young
She's a good actress with incredibly good range.
Tyler Richardson

Emma can’t pull anything either her movies were flops till she was weinsteined

What, no mention of Rupert Grint? Far as I can tell, he's gone into TV and comedy films.
Landon Johnson
I thought he retired and sold ice cream. Maybe you're thinking of Tom Felton
Kevin Martinez
You forgot the outspoken female leftist. She might as well be the devil reincarnated.
Adrian Perry
I think that's just something he does for fun. His IMDb says he's still active. Not prolific, mind you, but far from retired.
Leo Gray
>kick-ass female
Boy they will never learn will they.
Andrew Myers
He's a ginger, all the roles he could possibly play have been blacked.
Parker Hughes
Black Widow conceptually isn't unique outside of the MCU.
She's just another latex wearing spy chick that Johannsen and Charlize Theron have been playing once a year for the past six years.
