obviously he ranks that as acting in a kurosawa adaptation remake, top flight material
the point is fair though: most of the superhero movies, at their most serious, aren't that far off from magnificent seven. only instead of tracking down a guy who can shoot uncommonly well to join your team, you end up recruiting a guy with claws or w/e

A lot of them are like "let's get the band back together again!" stories, except instead of a battle of the band at the end there is just a battle.

searching for Hawke today gets you: "Ethan Hawke Joins Terrence Howard, Wesley Snipes In The RZA-Directed Heist Thriller ‘Cut Throat City’"
he really should stop criticizing other people for having a shtick when he keeps doing these roles that are definitely a shtick

lol also: "Ethan Hawke on Why Vincent D'Onofrio Deserves an Oscar More than 'Some British Dork'"
hmm what's D'Onofrio been up to lately

Yeah, but he does those movies to pay for stuff like "First Reformed," right? Five for them, and one for me.
Ethan Hawke should try for one of those tons-of-makeup roles, or a CGI animal person or something. Get that Groot money.

Acting AG, iirc.
i think he may be great idk tho its the kind of suspicion that would disappear if i looked harder than sideways at it

I get the point that movies that have an actual artistic intent and involve more work from the actors in the realm of, say, acting rather than having the patience to sit in a makeup chair for eight hours are preferable work and are subjectively better as art. Reading about how the Coens decided they'd rather pitch to Netflix than try to make a play for traditional studio money for their oddball project is kind of disheartening. But if actors can work on smaller projects and parlay that success into a big paycheck wearing a cape and pretending to punch people, then sure, go for it

Max Lord was and is still Sam Neill hawke is v interesting is there a marvel for him out there
Speedball ffs, read the thread Reading about how the Coens decided they'd rather pitch to Netflix than try to make a play for traditional studio money
afaik they pitched and sold it to Annapurna, then Annapurna got it financed by Netflix

If Hawke is passed over for Blaze and Speedball, I'll see if I can pull some strings with the casting director for the upcoming D-Man flick.

he directed the solo film iirc so that would be a real snub

I was reading a review of her new movie and just thinking how Natalie Portman somehow managed to avoid the MCU, but then suddenly remembered she not only was in two of those Thor movies but is really the only actor to have jumped ship from the whole MCU enterprise.

Ed Norton! (Though really he was pushed out.)

Jeremy Renner too (?)

Yeah, and (Academy Award nominee!) Terrance Howard was sort of pushed out, too, right? But Portman opted out.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 6 December 2018 14:39 (five years ago) link
Renner is still involved, isn't he? He just wasn't in the last one.
xxxxposts (geez guys) Hugo Weaving is another that comes to mind. Zachary Levi opted for Captain Marvel (the other one) over Marvel. Terrence Howard and Edward Norton were some less voluntary émigrés.

Remains to be seen if any of the Guardians cast are going to split in the wake of the Gunn mess. Bautista sure seems checked out at this point.

Zachary Levi was in two Thor films. He hardly features in Thor 2 and his character was killed off in seconds in Thor Ragnarok. I don't know that there was much in the way of opting out there.
― treefell, Thursday, 6 December 2018 15:21 (five years ago) link
a) He was not portraying the character who was killed off in Ragnarok, b) I have a feeling that at least some of the dead Asgardians will be returning.

Going back to 25 years would also net us Woody Harrelson, Laurence Fishburne, Liam Neeson, Anthony Hopkins, Robert Downey Jr, and Ralph Fiennes, who played Alfred in the Lego Batman Movie.
Obviously there are very very few people in the 'Unaffiliated' who could claim any kind of high moral ground over their position.
