Cap and Falcon partnership not like Batman and Robin

Anthony Mackie star of Captain America: The Winter Solider has given some insight on the relationship/ partnership between him and Captain America aka Chris Evans.

"It's interesting because a lot of people equate it to Batman and Robin, but the reality of it is it's more of a working relationship, a respect relationship as opposed to a leader and follower."

"The three of us [Cap, Falcon and Black Widow] work really well together and we support each other. All of us are really different in our abilities and powers, so when we come together we make an awesome tandem."

Captain America: The Winter Soldier stars Chris Evans, Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Frank Grillo, Samuel L. Jackson, Cobie Smulders and Scarlett Johansson, and comes out on April 4, 2014.

My Cast Monday: Catwoman/ Selina Kyle

All my nerd life i have always peiced together who i think would be a really great Catwoman in a live action setting, Anne Hatthaway takes the ears in The Dark Knight Rises in 2012 and i cant wait for that since Catwoman is one of my top favorite Batman family characters. So without further catnip i bring you my choices for live action Catwoman:

Catwoman/ Selina Kyle:

Eliza Dushku:

Look at her! Aside from voicing her in the Catwoman short i know Eliza has the acting ability, looks, and moves to make Catwoman have the fellas crossing our legs.... WHAT DON'T JUDGE US!.

Stacy Haiduk:

If this picture doesn't prove she can be Catwoman you are crazier than she is....ok maybe not that crazy but still. Playing duel roles on The Young And The Restless as a Doctor and a literal crazy cat lady, i believe Stacy will put a unique psychotic spin on our favorite jewel thief Selina.

Keira Knightley:

The lovely british Pirates actress should have her psychotic sexy turn at the worlds greatest Catwoman, her ability to give the performance of a lifetime and seduce the hell out of everyone should not be overlooked.

Angelina Jolie:

Now here me out on this i am extremly conflicted with this but i feel she's to great to pass up in a mention at least, i feel that Jolie would 1000% kill the role of Catwoman no problem but at the same time i think its too obvious, would still be a good thing to see her as Catwoman.

Scarlett Johansson:

I feel like this is impossible but at the same time Scarlett deserves to be up here as much as anyone else does, the moves she puts into her movies and her natural sex appeal would make for a dominating performance as Catwoman and should be feared... i mean come on look at her!

My Cast Monday: Devil May Cry

Due to popular demand I will do my casting for Devil May Cry one of my other favorites from Capcom so I can’t wait to see what you all think of my casting. I’m going to give some personal story elements also since in my opinion certain things can be changed to have everything in the movies coincide and make better sense to movie goers.

Dante Sparda:

Ian Somerhalder:

Trish:

Ali Larter:

Scarlett Johansson:

Nelo Angelo:

Gotta wait for my Devil May Cry 3 casting guys:

Ian is an awesome candidate for Dante in my opinion, Not only is Dante rash, rude, bad ass and just awesome Ian will have no problem portraying that in this role since he already plays a wise cracking bad ass in the first place.

First off the awesome fight scene between Trish and Dante in his office needs to happen, that was the signature moment that defined their skills and what happens later in the game.

Devil May Cry is a big action game so the movie needs to take that initiative and make sure they transfer over the over the top combo’s weapon specialization Dante uses, his ability to switch between weapons and looking bad ass during it all.

Dante acquires some of the most unique weapons and guns so he should be able to call on them at will and probably do what he did in the game and find them around the castle.

Trish a demon created to look like Dante’s mother is a hot kind of villain kind of character at the start but there should be some more character development than that. Even in the game it was like she’s here and gone and doest do much. Add a little more to her already awesome character.

Phantom is the most annoying boss in the game, not because of difficulty just he won’t die and keeps coming back to bother you. It would be a good gag to include for Devil May Cry fans and new people to the series.

Dante’s trademark shop titled Devil May Cry should have its debut in the movie (Before it gets messed up in the first fight scene.)

Speaking of fight scenes there going to need to be epic and well choreographed anyone who knows

Devil May Cry knows this and the people they get to do it need to know also.

While Dante is exploring the castle he is attacked by all kinds of demons and monsters in his journey let’s give the fans a show and let’s see them die creatively.

How's this for an ending credit: Mundus being soundly defeated by Dante and Trish knows now exactly what the son of sparda is capable of he brings forth another demon hunter to try and combat Dante and Trish to finish them off. Who is that someone?

See you guys next week ;-D
