Deadpool & Wolverine looks great.

No, but apparently, Javier Bardem is Marvel's first choice for Galactus. I saw this pop up recently, but every article I've googled dates back to late last year. It seems like it may be the same rumor that had Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards and Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm.

Anyway, I like Pascal as an actor but think he's too old especially opposite Kirby (13 year age difference). I was hoping Pascal would play Dr. Doom since he was so effective as the Mandalorian and having a helmet on 99% of the time. At this point, it's hard for me to disagree with Marvel's casting.

[Stratos]

Bet you Pascale would have asked for a helmet-less role. He probably had is fill of that in Mando.

1960's Retro Futuristic Look is on point.


and I'm sure you all saw already.... that RDJ is back as Dr. DOOM.
not sure how I feel about that yet, but in Feige we Trust (well... not so much since End Game, but D&W has resparked a lil trust)

[ThePerm]

interesting, that's an interesting take on Reed Richards. I like it. I liked Pedro Pascal as a choice, because he could play a character who is super cocky, but he's playing him as a nerd, which is probably for the better.

[Stratos]

I'm still balking a bit at RDJ as Doom. I don't doubt he can do a great job and will be phenomenal in the role on its own, but its the baggage about him being a variant or something else that worries me more. There is enough going on I had kind of hoped the forced pivot away from Kang would inject some freshness into the MCU that didn't have the sag of pretty much everything from Phase 4.
