THR's report also comes on the heels of rumors that Ben Affleck himself would be returning as Daredevil for the movie, as well as rumors earlier this spring that James Marsden, Famke Janssen, and Halle Barry would return as Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Storm, respectively. These rumors are strictly that--rumors--but Garner's return seems to lend some credence to them potentially being true.

I'm ready for Deadpool to make Catwoman jokes at Storm

I'm wondering how far they can take the references to DC properties.

[–] Prouvaire@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

As long as they're about how terrible DC films are, I suspect Marvel will be okay with it.

Halle Berry played an extremely terrible version of Catwoman.

[–] Boiglenoight 7 points 2 years ago

Oh yeah! Christ that was forgettable. Wasn't Sharon Stone in that? Blargh I'd forgotten all that. THANKS. :P

Affleck is really running his paces in the multiverse lately, huh?

It seems clear that this DP will be a send-up of the recent multiverse insanity, using it to go places that for some goddamned reason no other property wants to - even though none of them have established a good reason why consequences matter if there are an infinite number of everything and everyone.

I just want to see more Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead...

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 6 points 2 years ago

Negasonic Teenage Warhead…. BEST SUPER HERO EVER.

I want more Zazie Beetz. Give her a series.

Just recently watched Nine Days, and she is wonderful in it.

[–] Boiglenoight 1 points 2 years ago

And she was in a very odd episode of Black Mirror. She was good, but at first blush the episode was kind of off compared to the others. After considering it for a bit, I like it more because I think its speaking to something more than what one might take away at face value.

why consequences matter if there are an infinite number of everything and everyone.

Because, even if there are infinite versions of me, The only me's death I care about is my own.

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well that's fine for you, but what about when other peoples' lives are at stake? Why bother saving someone when you know there's an equally weighted universe where you fail anyway, and vise versa? There are good philosophical answers to these questions, and I'd like to see multiverse stories grapple with them, now that the novelty of seeing all the actors who played a given role has started to wear a little thin.

[–] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Well that’s fine for you, but what about when other peoples’ lives are at stake?

The only me's death I care about is my own.

There are good philosophical answers to these questions, and I’d like to see multiverse stories grapple with them,

I see no difference in the question being asked if the people are in this universe, a different one or multiple.

Are the lives of others worth more than yours? Is the same in both cases.

[–] SwallowsDick 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well that's potentially interesting. Maybe as a cameo, maybe one where she dies

[–] Boiglenoight 16 points 2 years ago

It's hard for me to see her as Electra after the Netflix series. I never really took her that seriously in the role in the first place BUT it being Deadpool I'm sure they'll do something entertaining with it.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.one 9 points 2 years ago

It would be funny to bring them back as actors... "Jennifer! I love you! You made X-Men Origins: Wolverine look good! Thank you so much!"

[–] thisisdee 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

All the multiverses! James Marsden is still my favorite Cyclops and he deserves better.

[–] Boiglenoight 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I agree. Also, he is so good in Jury Duty.

[–] tyrefyre@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He’s also like one of the main guys in sonic

[–] Boiglenoight 2 points 2 years ago

I haven’t seen those films yet. I’ve heard they good too.

[–] Whiskeyomega@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I actually paid to see Elektra when it came out. Awful film

[–] Boiglenoight 7 points 2 years ago

And I like Jennifer Garner. She was fantastic in Alias.

The story was as stupid as Garner was hot in it. That's to say, a lot.
