Also, they will likely go with someone younger. Most of the drama in his life (until he got married to Storm) was all about his father’s death and his own coming of age story. I doubt they would go with someone in their 50’s considering he is about the same age as Cap…who is also one of his closer friends later on.
Prof…youre a fucking freak
Watch “Blood and Bone” to see why MJ White would be an awesome pick for the role.
Michael Jai White was already a black panther in Black Dynamite and kicked ass in Blood and Bone along with Undisputed 2. He gets my vote on it as any black Marvel Character.

Asgard? Vibranium isn’t magic. It works by absorbing all vibrations from light to sound. If you get shot while wearing his costume (made of vibranium), it absorbs the momentum of the bullet…so it doesn’t ricochet off, it simply stops and falls.
That is the metal Stark will combine with the metal his father found to create Caps shield.[/quote]
Vibranium is of unknown origin. It fell to Earth as a meteor and landed in Wakanda. I never said it was Asgardian or ‘magical’ in the comics, but it could easily be worked into the movies as being of Asgardian origin, tying all the movies together and allowing an easy introduction for T’Challa to a generally indifferent audience (When I saw The Green Hornet recently, someone behind me asked if Jay Chou was Kato. This was around ten minutes after he was introduced as “Kato”).
People often watch movies without knowing what they are watching, pay for and sit in on something that holds no interest for them, and end up making small talk among themselves because they are bored and unable to mentally engage with what they have paid hard cash to see. They are there only to be seen watching. But I digress.
Normal posting shall now resume…
Marvel Thor isn’t necessarily a god in the traditional sense: in recent years they’ve implied that Asgardians are a highly advanced alien race. That makes perfect sense. There has to be a pretty blurred line between science and magic in the movies. Drawing a line in the sand between magic and science won’t work. You can’t have a purely magical Thor movie because it will jar with the science of IM 1 & 2, and open the floodgates for a bunch of whiners who’ll dismiss Thor as ‘unrealistic’…
When I think of Marvel’s pantheon of Norse gods, I think of Arthur C. Clarke’s third law of sci-fi:
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. "
Check out the first thread on the Thor movie. I posted a link on how Odin is going to be the focal point of the Marvel universe. He will have at least the infinity gauntlet and the cosmic cube, and Red Skull will pursue the cosmic cube in the Cap movie.

Asgard has Uru though.[/quote]
Asgard has a lot of things. Uru may simply be their strongest metal. We don’t use any one type of metal; we use many different metals for different purposes. Why wouldn’t they? The only difference is that their weakest scrap would be infinitely more badass than our strongest alloy…
