Casting the Champions Movie


Christopher R Taylor

Recommended Posts

Considering that Hollywood thinks we're dimwits that suffers from head traumas and thus makes new versions of superhero movies every few years thinking we won't know the differences. I say all versions will be used.

 

Get ready for a trilogy folks.

What matters most for Destroyer is the voice and presence, since he's going to be either heavily armored or made up anyway.  And a convincing German accent.  Like, say, Hugo Weaving as Red Skull.  That guy has more talent in one eyeball than most actors in their entire career.  Any man who'd do a comic book movie without ever taking off his mask, that's a man I salute.

I was trying to remember, does the CU have a Nick Fury type?  A skilled (nominal) 'normal' that can serve as the liaison? 

 

Some of the high ranking UNTIL guys could work as this, but they aren't portrayed as that hands on. Still, a Coulson-style agent would be simplicity itself to create, and a more senior guy could make Fury style cameos.

 

From UNTIL: Defenders Of Freedom: "The Secretary-Marshall is the supreme commander of UNTIL. He has control over everything in the organization, from the lowliest private right up to the Field Marshall himself. He reports directly to the Security Council.

In the history of UNTIL, there have only been two Secretary-Marshalls: Juan Alfonso Martinez de Casarez, affectionately known as “Major” Martinez because of his former rank in the Paraguayan military; and the current Secretary-Marshall, Wilhelm Carl Eckhardt of Germany. Eckhardt replaced Martinez as Secretary-Marshall upon the latter’s retirement in 1990. Martinez currently holds the honorary position of “Secretary-Marshall Emeritus” and serves as advisor to Eckhardt."

 

There's two candidates there. One has a character sheet. (Martinez had one in an earlier edition, but it would need work). The Field Marshall is another candidate. Or you could go with someone less senior.

 

Martinez was especially Fury-esque in Super Agents - but that's an ancient Aaron Allston treasure.
