Time for a new thread on this topic (the last one is almost a yr old).

Thought I’d pass this along . . . B)

I just don’t see Wilde as Captain Marvel material

It’s just hype. I don’t know if Olivia Wilde even knows who Carol Danvers is, but we can be sure Marvel will not have a brunette play the part. Even an actress who can just dye her hair blonde is not enough.

I wish they’d finish writing the script. The overall plot concerns me the most.

Umm, why not? As long as she’s blonde what would it matter? Dyed or not, seems like it would make little difference.

Trying to look the part isn’t enough in playing the part. Jessica Alba and Kate Mara dyed their hair to play Sue Storm.

Alba and Mara’s failure as Sue Storm got nothing to do with thier dyed hair or contact lenses. They where bad because the scrip wasn’t good, the director didn’t get a good performance from them, and they aren’t that great actresses in the first place.

Truth is, as movie goers we don’t know how many time actors or actresses dye their hair or use a wig when their performance is good.

Which is why dying your hair doesn’t automatically qualify any actress to play the role. It’s not solely reliant on dressing the part.

I already posted my immediate concern for the script, which hasn’t been written yet. What does it matter which actress is interested in the part if we don’t know what the story is? What kind of heroine are they trying to give us? That’s more important than looks right now.

Kate Mara is 5’3 and about 98 lbs…that’s the problem, not her ability to act.

Jessica Alba was fine as Sue Storm, in fact she filled out the roll quite nicely

[Nick Furry]

Ms marvel official height is 5 11

She always been show as a very athletic woman and fit woman even before she got super powers.

Guys, I don’t know why you keep on getting hung up on height.

Filmmakers can make anyone look gigantic or small.

Did you know that Xena was actually shorter than her co-star Gabrielle?

Tom Cruise and Sylvester Stallone are short guys and yet they appear larger than life in film. Now granted, someone like Kate Mara probably wouldn’t be able to pull off the height thing but it doesn’t matter.

What’s most important is 1.) Acting ability. 2.) Presence 3.) Physicality (in movement)

Seriously, stop getting hung up on height. That’s why they call it movie magic.
