The Avengers EDIT:- First Movie in history to make $200 Million in opening weekend

[_____V_____]

Weird casting?

Consider this piece of news...

"According to CHUD, Keanu Reeves is rumoured to be playing ‘Plastic Man’ in a film based on the classic comic and cartoon series. Larry and Andy Wachowski, the chaps behind Reeves’ biggest success to date “The Matrix”, are rumored to be helming this adaptation."

Yep, anything is possible when studios go for casting. Even huge disappointments. :rolleyes:

It's Plastic Man...does anyone really care in the first place?

Ha. I was just reading Ultimates and Nick Fury said "This nose has been smashed more times than Robert Downey Jr." ZING!

Yes. Plastic Man was very cool.

If we're talking about the same plastic man (DC) then no, he wasn't cool enough to warrant his own movie. And they've already done the fantastic four, so the effects won't be new. And the Warcheosenwoskei brothers aren't really known for their humor, so they won't even have that going for them.

Forget plastic man, he's a waste of film and a summer blockbuster.

Alright... how's about this.

Your picks for Ant-Man?

I disagree. Plastic Man could be a fun movie.

Plastic Man was the ORIGINAL stretchy superhero and his stories were always quirky and full of visual humor.

I'd go see it.

But in a film it might be a bit too similar to Mr. Fantastic for audiences not familiar with the comics.

I doubt it. His approach was entirely different. One of the funnest things about the original strip was that Plastic Man would disguise himself as various objects and you would have to play a game of "where's Plastic Man" as you read. Oh- he was the briefcase that the crooks took into the secret hideout! Or he'd disguise himself as a ball that a child would start bouncing against the wall, rendering poor Plas a bit woozy.

Little touches like that are what made Plastic Man unique.
