After all the headaches DC have had with Wonder Woman, it would be funny if Marvel had a hit with Valkyrie.

If the Ms Marvel movie does go ahead I'm thinking who would play the role?
For a slightly older but still capable Actress I thought maybe Rosemarie Dewitt. She's fairly unknown but is a very good actress and has a strength about her looks. On the younger end of the scale and left field what about Alia Shawkat? My most realistic choice (imo anyway) would be Diane Kruger. She's a little younger then Rosemarie. Has teh Looks and has the CV. Other possibles I thought of: Isla Fisher Rose Burne Lola Glaudini Natlia Tena Quote:

Personally the one I would love is Rogue. Unfortunately Singers travesty of a characterisation has probably scuppered that.

Wonder Woman is just a woman in a swimsuit at the end of the day. Great to look at but that's about it. I really can't even begin to think how they could make a Wonder Woman film and make it interesting and not turn her into someone more like Black Widow who has all the martial arts moves. |

IMO Valkyrie would be easier to do because you have all the mythology, the links to Asgaard, you could introduce her in the Thor film, she looks great. Also Game of Thrones and all the sword waving is the in thing at the moment, now moody angst ridden vampires that need a slap... and a wash are going out of favour.

Squirrel Girl!
Or maybe Dazzler; could do a great 80s pastiche movie with Dazzler. |

Wonder Woman has her Greek/Roman mythology of course. I believe there are plans for an 'Amazon' TV pilot/series that would look at just her life on Paradise Island. I'm thinking more along the lines of Xena Warior Princess. But a Valkyrie film with the Asgard connection and her flying horse would just edge it for me.
I know she is supposed to have the strength, but unless it's on the same par as The Hulk, Thor, The Thing etc is nothing. I'm watching Wonder Woman on TLC channel 125 on Sky. Ropey although Lynda Carter is hot. Whne you get to the action stuff it's bloody awful, she just throws peopel around or stops bullets with her wrist bands. As I said a few posts back. Unless they change her completely and have her doing martial arts and thus being more like Black Widow and the like, her character is really hard to do as a film or IMO a TV series. |

The problem with Wonder Woman is other than being a hottie in a swimsuit she is nothing. Yes she has her invisible planne that you can't see just her sitting inside it (must look weird) and her lasso.

Patsy Walker/Hellcat.
In fact I would love to see a "Patsy Walker" rom com, with the post credits scene suddenly twisting things and see her becoming Hellcat with her next appearance being in the Avengers. |

I would suggest, Squirrel Girl (played by someone like Zooey Deschanel, a ditzy girl next door), Scarlet Witch, Rogue (she needs to develop out of the wallflower and they could pull in a big-name actress, not to mention her links to the popular Wolverine and Mystique and what they could do with Gambit), Black Widow (as you say, she has the cool factor and the likeability factor).
These would be the big ones I could see working. I say Squirrel Girl partly as a joke but I think as an off-kilter comedy superhero movie poking fun at elements of the genre it might be a sleeper hit. I mean, if ELEKTRA can get a movie off the back of Daredevil (that wasnt even much of a hit at the time). Other big Marvel girls I could see would be Storm (though I don't think people would go for it after Halle's flop with Catwoman, and how so much of her backstory is based around being a team player and a mother-figure as Berry's portrayed her so far), maybe the female Captain Britain who died saving her children, although her name would have to change for worldwide appeal, maybe Shadowcat, Emma Frost. The movie could focus on either of them and deal with their history with the other. Shadowcat would have to be retconned so as not to be in the X Men from a young age though. Its hard to think of female characters who arent already related to a male character or other team members in a similar franchise who would be able to explain away why they didnt pop up in the latter as a minor character or love interest. That's actually kinda worrying, when you think about it - that that's only how female characters are seen, in relation to male superheroes, at the minute. Not to say that some of my favourite women on-screen don't exist in these movies! |

Magik (Illyana Rasputin), and I'd base it mostly on the mini-series from way back in the 80s with Belasco and the aged Storm.
Failing that The Wasp might make a fun adaptation. Interesting power with a quirky and fun attitude. Haute couture meets superhero. |

I don't know why but I can just see Angelilia Jolie as Domino.
I think she'll be great! |

Other names that spring to mind include, Domino, Callisto, Spiderwoman, Firestar, Polaris, Mockingbird, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk.
Also a Jessica Jones show was being planned too. |

I wonder if Marvel acquiring Angela from Neil Gaiman and her being folded into the Marvel Universe continuity means would they put her in a movie. Quote:

The Wasp would tie in with Avengers Assemble and also allow an introduction to the world of Antman

It could also tie in with the infamous Ms Marvel/Carol Danvers stand off and load-sa Mysique (never a bad thing!). Of course it would have to be a reboot more in keeping with the original Rogue backstory. None of tis non-flying crap. The Bill Sienkiewicz/Claremont run of New Mutants 18-35 was very female-centric, I would also run a separate darker franchise of movies similar to how the x2 comics operated back then. Others - Shadowcat/Scarlet Witch/Mystique I would like to add She Hulk, but I'm sure that could easily become a teenage w**kfest in the wrong hands. |
