“when a fan list comes out… we look at it!”
With Age of Ultron out on disc today, there’s been a lot of talk with Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige about all kinds of things, including, it seems, Captain Marvel, who, according to this piece, we won’t be getting any casting announcements on this year.
Fan casting continues unabated on the internet, however (as one would expect), and, per the Feige quote I used for the title, Marvel’s paying attention, even if it’s not necessarily driving their eventual decision. As Captain Marvel film (out in 2018) producer Jeremy Latcham says of fan casting lists:
We read it, we go through it, we read the comments, we look at who people like. Sometimes it’s really enlightening. Sometimes it’s the exact same person that they’ve been saying over and over again that we don’t think is right. It’s always fun to kinda go through it and see what people are up to.
I’m going to take that, sadly, as tacit confirmation that Katee Sackhoff won’t be suiting up. A man can dream. At this point, I’m kind of hoping for an unknown (possibly named Chris?) who fits the role over the other suggestions like Yvonne Strahovski, Charlise Theron, or Emily Blunt (though the Natalie Dormer suggestion is intriguing).
Oh well. No news there for a while. However, they kind of owe us a picture of Spider-Man or Cumberbatch done up as Strange at this point, though, don’t they? At least they’re giving us these awesome Jessica Jones promos:
I’ll take it.
