I can't help but feel some folks (not our Jemma) are making too much of this. She probably has a point and Disney probably has a bit of a "yeah but COVID" defense.

I expect this to get settled and really, if Disney/Marvel want to make another project that includes Black Widow, they would hire her again. Though the other thing Disney/Marvel must love about variants is that it's basically a built-in excuse to recast if any one actor gets too difficult (looking at you Larson).

I'm not sure if that counts as a recast. While Monica Rambeau is the same hero (Ms Marvel), she is technically a different character. It's similar to Peter Parker/Miles Morales as Spiderman.

Nah that's not what I meant. Was just alluding to the rumors that Larson doesn't get along with anyone so if they wanted to recast Carol Danvers they could.

I've really enjoyed her as Black Widow. It'll be interesting to see if these lawsuits actually affect how Disney does things. FWIW, I'd be pretty upset in her place. If anything, it's kind of awesome to see someone who can actually stand up to the Mouse. I've never been a fan of Disney, but one thing I've always disliked about them is how litigious they are (i.e. suing daycare centers for using their characters as a display, etc.)

Ah, yes I can see that. If the rumours are to be believed, it seems that she also doesn't really get on well with the rest of the cast.

ayanami: Also, yes, Iain deserves constant praise, always! And for the Doctor in particular. Chilling role! Nov 24, 2024 23:07:48 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Right? I always think the same thing when I see a movie that was adapted from source material but has been changed so much that it's unrecognizable. Nov 24, 2024 23:08:46 GMT

ayanami: I gotta admit that "World War Z" is an incredibly cool name, but still, seems a bit pricey if you're just gonna ignore the whole rest of the novel.

Nov 24, 2024 23:10:42 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Exactly!

Nov 24, 2024 23:11:32 GMT

ayanami: The book sounds really cool btw. It's about one guy 10 years after the zombie outbreak gathering different perspectives from a bunch of survivors, so you have like a dozen different stories/settings in the novel. Plus, the author is actually Mel Brooks'... Nov 24, 2024 23:12:58 GMT

ayanami: ...son and apparently there's an audio book version of the novel featuring a bunch of Hollywood talents! (Gotta have connections in life!

) Nov 24, 2024 23:13:41 GMT

Jemma Simmons: What?! That's wild! I'll have to check into it! Nov 24, 2024 23:14:18 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Sounds way more interesting than the movie, anyway! Nov 24, 2024 23:14:32 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Oh, just FYI, next weekend is a holiday weekend here, so I won't be able to be around.

Nov 24, 2024 23:15:41 GMT

ayanami: Absolutely! Which makes it even more bewildering that they went with such a lame clichéd Hollywood story instead. Which, btw, is actually getting a sequel next year. Who'd have thunk it?! Nov 24, 2024 23:17:08 GMT

ayanami: Ah, alright, thanks for the heads up. Nov 24, 2024 23:18:07 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Yeah, that's something I've noticed lately too. Why the sudden need for sequels for 20-30 year old movies? Most of the time they're crap and I'd definitely rather see new material. Nov 24, 2024 23:20:11 GMT

ayanami: I think I'm gotta call it a night now, though. I've got kind of an early morning coming up tomorrow and it's getting late over here. Nov 24, 2024 23:20:18 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Alrighty! You have a good couple of weeks then!

I'll be spending next weekend with some family I like and trying to avoid any remotely controversial conversations with others that I spend the rest of the year avoiding

Nov 24, 2024 23:21:10 GMT

ayanami: Tbf, World War Z is "only" from 2013, but yeah, I get your drift. Answer: Hollywood producers are all a bunch of chicken sh*ts, who only want to invest money into stuff with a recognisable name and a good track record, so only sequels, prequels and reboots Nov 24, 2024 23:22:41 GMT

ayanami: From now until eternity!
