According to The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel is in negotiations with both Bradley Cooper and Elizabeth Olsen to play vital roles in upcoming feature films.
Bradley Cooper may be the voice for the awesome Rocket Raccoon (but don’t call him a Raccoon!) in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Cooper has the the right attitude and inflection to pull off this role. He can be hard and edgy but yet still bring concern for others through his voice.
The role of the Avengers’ Scarlett Witch is slatted for Elizabeth Olsen, if the contract works out. Olsen is the younger sister to the Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. Her resume of movies is not large but she is in the upcoming Godzilla movie, which should give us an idea about her level of geek appeal. We will see how she fits in as Wanda Maximoff with the other Avengers.
The comic news continues to pour in. With the level of great geek movies slated for the next several years, we should be on a continual buzz.
Stay Geeky My Friends!
