Everyone says this, but honestly this man deserves a great project.

[–] RobMyBot@lemmy.ml 44 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I absolutely love Cavill. He's been in plenty of sub-par projects, but he himself never fails to commit to each role and he always kills it.

Yeeep. The way they ruined both the witcher and superman while this man does everything right is astounding.

Man from U.N.K.L.E. is IMHO a very good movie. It also showcases how Henry could have been a humorous 007 akin to Roger Moore's rendition.

He's one of those actors that could take a low tier super hero and turn it into a household name, if he's put into the wider MCU I hope it's playing a lesser known hero that deserves the recognition

My fingers are crossed for his 40k project!

The emperor demands it.

As much as I love Cavill, I just don’t see him in this role. Speaking of which, could we maybe, just maybe cast a shorter actor this time around?

Danny DeVito with a VFX-enhanced muscular body and Wolverine hair wig

[–] chrischryse@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Nah he can be the short fat wolverine from another universe since his body is already perfect

Anatomically correct Wolverine.

I want it. Sold. Give it to me.

AI! We need you to make a thing!

[–] HoustonHenry@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

So, they're introducing the Warthog? I like this new direction!

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

Cavil is 2" shorter than Jackman. At this rate we will reach the comicbook cannon height of 5'3" after 5 more actors.

We are making progress, but it is slow.

[–] eRac@lemmings.world 12 points 1 year ago

That's the joke. Jackman is too tall and handsome? Have AU Wolverine be even taller and more handsome.

[–] Ep1cFac3pa1m@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Jon Bernthal…just gotta come up with a reason for Punisher and Wolverine to look so similar

[–] Visstix@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Sounds like a cameo spoiler

[–] UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk 9 points 1 year ago

I love seeing him talk about building his own gaming pc and a few clips where he talks about painting Warhammer miniatures. He gets quite excited. πŸ€“

Keeso is also too damn tall. I always thought he would make an awesome Gambit.

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Camera angles and apple boxes can fix that. I bet they can just shrink him digitally.

Also, Henry Cavill is three inches taller than Jared Keeso: 6'1" (185 cm) vs. 5'10" (177 cm). Hugh Jackman is 6'3" (190 cm).

So since they're shrinking the actor two inches per movie maybe they'll pick Jared next.

I'm a purist, there has to be a short, jacked hairy actor somewhere who could do the role justice.

[–] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Jack absolutely could have but maybe getting on a bit now.

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I doubt the guy from Letterkenny is going to end up in a Marvel movie. He's got too much 'tegridy

He'd make an amazing Wolverine, though. And since Wolverine is canonically Canadian it would be more accurate.

In my perfect Wolverine movie, Keeso would be the lead and Jacob Tierney would direct.

Huge Ackman is going to be a hard act to follow.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

If past is prologue, that means two movies and a nasty breakup.

Shorter* Wolverine.
