Robert Redford In Talks For Role In CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER, Is He A Villain Or The New Director Of S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Deadline reports that iconic actor Robert Redford (Spy Game) is in talks for a role in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. They say the role is that of senior leadership of S.H.I.E.L.D. but isn't named. It's also mentioned it could lead to future roles in other Marvel films, Avengers 2?
It's possible that the role could be that of either Aleksander Lukin or Baron Zemo both major Marvel villains. The two have been previously linked to Winter Soldier and considering Robert's high profile it's likely he'll be more than just a desk jockey. We haven't learned who could be pulling the strings of the Winter Soldier program and Redford's mysterious role could be it. Honestly, the film has a slew of good guys including Cap, Falcon, Fury, Widow, Jasper and possibly Sharon Carter. It wouldn't be shocking to see Robert take more of villainous role this time around. There is also speculation that the Masters of Evil could come into play for Avengers 2.
THR mentions that the S.H.I.E.L.D. role could have more in common with Ralph Fiennes' part in Skyfall. As the new guard replacing M as the head of MI6. Could this mean that Robert Redford is becoming the new Nick Fury? Meaning that the name might be just given to whoever is the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Leaving a bit of room to including the old WWII era Sgt. Fury lineage that was left out of The First Avenger (hinted to with the Howling Commandos). It's possible Whedon and Marvel have may found a way to give fans both versions of Nick Fury in same MCU (infinity formula?). I think having the Fury role being opening to multiple actors is an interesting casting concept. This doesn't mean Sam Jackson would be kicked out of the role entirely, maybe just for a couple of films to give him a break. Jackson did sign a nine picture deal which is really crazy if Marvel expects him to appear in every MCU installment.
Alan Ritchson Will Play Raphael In TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES
Deadline reports that Paramount and Jonathan Liebesman have found their first Ninja Turtle. Actor Alan Ritchson has landed the role of Raphael which will involve motion capture techniques that were used in Avatar. Instead of having stuntmen in suits the studio have opted to go with advanced performance capture. Ritchson is best known for playing Aquaman on Smallville but has a supporting role in Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Megan Fox was previously announced as taking the female lead of April O'Neil.
JURASSIC PARK 4 Director Colin Trevorrow Promises No Feathered Dinos
While Jurassic Park 4 has finally landed it's director Colin Trevorrow and screenwriters with a release date set for June of next Summer. A few odds and ends have been yet to be announced including the cast. That news is likely around the corner but Colin has given equally positive update for fans of the original two films. He simply states via Twitter the dinosaurs won't have feathers in his film. Since the first installment in 1993 science started moving dinos and birds closer together. Which led to raptors with feathers in the third film. Instead of confusing audiences and keeingp the mythology canon they will keep the look more similar to the original film. Rather than what's been showing on The Discovery Channel for the last fifteen years. A smart move to win over original fans of the franchise early on during it's production.
No feathers. #JP4
