Sounds like he should team up with Zachary Levi
>Th-this is what the people want! Look at the zeitgeist!

Marvel is overly reliant on origin stories and the DCU is very much the antithesis to that concept. If he was Batman it'd mean he is a Batman who is 4 Robin's deep, raising a son whose morals differ than his.

>>149492685 (OP)
never understood why some actors do this shit. From marketing standpoint it's fucking retarded, just be neutral, why would you bash a giant studio like marvel/disney, you didn't even get the role nigger, it's just a fucking rumor and you're a c list celebrity at best. and if you decided to bash them, then at least do something of significance, #metoo some top jew a disney or some shit, and not this sissy shit "marvel in 2025 is bad", hardly a controversial opinion

Alan Ritchson has been selling his ass to DC since he was scrawny, did the fucking Titans show even, I'm amazed he never did a voice role.

>>149492685 (OP)
Sorry, not interested in Hollyjew's 'original stories'. Fuck off, faggot. Thnx.

>>149492704
Add in that one black actor from the Fast and Furious franchise who was begging WB to cast him a Jon Stewart and the youtuber who got canceled for filming the suicide Forrest

>>149492685 (OP)
he would make for a better eddie brock

>>149493819

Tom Welling and Justin Hartley 100% took turns on his ass right?

For Gods sake hasn't he played enough DC characters for you insatiable fucks.

>>149493006
are there any potential or actual marvel actors doing this? because all ive seen is thad and momoa doing that

What am I supposed to be getting from this? All I’m getting from this is he’s a faggot that just wants to dicksuck Batman like everyone else

>gib me a job, Gunn. look, I shit talked Marvel!
imagine is Feige were to offer him Doctor Doom. would he suck it up and say yes or stand by his shitposting?

>>149492685 (OP)
>Amid Batman Casting Campaign
He's not going to be cast as Batman.
It's a shame he got wasted on Titans as Hank, but after being Aquaman in Smallville and very recently, a long run as Hank in Titans, he's not going to be cast as Bruce Wayne, they'll pick someone fairly new.

>>149494071
If Feige was stupid enough to sign off on RDJ as Doom, he's been stupid enough to do far worse.

He needs to be careful who he mouths off to in Hollywood, just saying. He did the same thing when he played Ralph in those terrible TMNT movies. Granted I'm sure it sucks waiting 2 hours to get out of costume while everyone under union contract gets to leave for the day first, but have some perspective

>>149492685 (OP)

Simu Liu did.

So if James Gunn do confirm Robert Patterson is playing the DCU Batman what’s this faggot start crying homophobia? If the rumors of Robert Patterson playing DCU Batman say he not the same batman in the Batman. Just sharing an actor in the DCU multiverse like peacemaker has multiverse counterparts. Which makes Robert Patterson being DCU Batman more likely.

This is a laughable critique to make among the many critiques to make of the MCU. It makes him sound like he has literally no idea what's going on and is, ironically, regurgitating himself to try and seem like he has something to say beyond "MCU bad and boring now."

jason mamoa

alan ritchson
why do these morons attack a potential employer dont they realise they could be working for both give john cena credit at least he never said bs like this

>>149496774
What did Momoa do?

>>149493100
Actors are:

A) not usually all that smart

B) willing to say whatever they need to say to get that sweet, sweet seven-figure paycheck.

>new, compelling stories
says the guy in a 4 season tv show based of books

>>149493842
He did sell his ass for modeling and acting gigs around that time so it's highly likely.

This would work if they make a batman movie each year. DC is fucking useless so they will drag their feet

>>149493956
>For Gods sake hasn't he played enough DC characters for you insatiable fucks.
Didn't stop Chris Evans. Hes played 5 comic book characters.

>>149494794
Checkmate, atheists

It took me decades to realize that the chick making fun of him for wearing an orange shirt with green trunks was a nod to Aquaman's classic suit.

>>149492685 (OP)
he should ignore capeshit completely and become a space marine

Man I wish Marvel was actually making adaptations of the good stories.

>>149496847
After he was cast as Aquaman he started signing things at events with “FUCK MARVEL”. Then Batista told Momoa to stop playing console wars and Marvel would be waiting for him to grow up.

Supposedly Momoa auditioned for Drax but Batista got the role over him.

>>149497322
Reynolds didn't campaign, he basically made it happen himself. No one else was making it happen for him. Largely admitted to leaking the test footage in order to get any eyes on it too. Now he's helped Marvel have it's most successful movie in ages.

We cam talk about "Campaigns" when any other obsessed actor manages even half of that.

>>149492685 (OP)
Reacher is capeshit for boomers

>>149497377
They'd ruin them. Look at Infinity Gauntlet.

>>149497292
Cap, Johnny, that one guy from Scott Pilgrim... who else?

>>149497976
True, but there is entertainment value in how they think they're so much smarter.
>Ugh Thanos being in love with the personification of Death is SO STUPID
>I know, we'll have him become so concerned with resource scarcity that he'll cut the population of the entire universe in half. As a one-time deal. This is smart.

>>149497976
>Cap, Johnny, that one guy from Scott Pilgrim... who else?
He was the lead of a super hero movie called Push
Also comic adaptation of The Losers.

>>149497153
That’s hot

>>149498677
>He was the lead of a super hero movie called Push
Good movie, rewatched it recently. Kinda felt at the time like it could share an universe with Jumper. Did it have a comic?

>>149498978
>Did it have a comic?
Yes

>>149494794
Momoa kind of did for Lobo, but it was less him campaigning and more just him spam texting Gunn to cast him as Lobo.

>>149499076
Neat, will have to look it up later. Thanks

>>149492685 (OP)
Tacticool boomerslop fiction like Reacher is capeshit-tier goofy in its own right

Anything Batman at this moment is gonna be way more interesting than whatever Marvel is doing, except if made by Gunn.

>I sit back and yawn at Marvel movies regurgitating comic book stories that we’ve seen a thousand times because they’re the only way studios feel like they can make money
This nigga thinks Marvel actually adapts comics?
One of the biggest and most consistent issues in the franchise is how ashamed they seem to be of their source material. That is why everything in the modern MCU is either bland and gray or a straight up comedy.

>>149499585
It's even worse than that. The MCU somehow jumped from adapting origin stories of 1960s characters right to adapting characters and events from the 2000s and 2010s. They're ashamed of the decades when they were actually producing some good comics, and jumped headfirst into the slop.

>>149497516
Lmao

>>149494794
Does Dwayne as BA count?

>>149493819
He could've campaigned for that if he wasn't such a faggot.

>>149500940
Holy projection, fanboy!

This man is deluded. His role is to be a slice of beef, not to act. Batman is a role that requires some pathos.

>>149492734

Marvel? Over reliant on origin stories?

How many times has been Batman been recast and retold? How many times have we had Superman rebooted and reattempted?

At least we had Captain America go through an entire decade's worth of movies until his story ended.

>>149499585
>implying he read the comics he claimed to be tired of seeing

>>149492685 (OP)
Alan definitely has the body for the role, but I like the current rumor of Lee Pace for Bruce.
