I kind of want this

>Saorise Ronan as Scarlet Witch

Yikes. That goodness that did not happen. Not like Elizabeth is any better, but still.

She's good fap material at least

Ronan wouldn't have even had that

this, it's the only one on the list I think maybe could've been an upgrade

>Steve Buscemi as Hank Pym
Jesus fuck! Someone make this happen!

>implying
Don't make me laugh

>Yikes
Get out

>In an alternate reality, Maria Hill and Ant Man have an affair

Huh.

Why was McGregor considered? He's not that fond of that kind of sci fi or fantasy. I remember when Russel T Davies was still in charge on New Who, and he basically said in an interview that he would never, ever do 'that kind of show'. He had a real chip on his shoulder.

Bit odd mind, considering the prequels, but still.

Seeing this list really helped remind me how little I give a fuck about this shit.

>Adam Sandler
Yes, please.

>Odin (Anthony Hopkins)
>>BRIAN BLESSED

Now, if they ever do Herc and they need Zeus...

>forgetting Triple H as Thor

Tom Hiddleston would've been terrible

Poor Jensen.

I think most of the actual casting choices were extremly well thought out in comparison to the replacement alternatives, no offense of course to the other great actors

>John Krasinski

Nah, the audience needs to believe that Hank procreated at some point.

He aimed too high.

Hawkeye would have been a great role for him.

>Drax (Dave Bautista)
>Jason Momoa, Djimon Hounson
These could have been interesting, but not better than Dave.

>Nebula (Karen Gillian)
>>Gal Gadot.
thank god Marvel dodged that bullet

>there’s a universe where rocket was Jim carrey

>Why was McGregor considered? He's not that fond of that kind of sci fi or fantasy.

Money, dear boy.

Wow, you're so cool and badass.

Fuck that universe.

Yeah a few of these would have been interesting but nothing makes me go "that would have been so much better", except maybe one or two choices for Strange.

Emily Blunt should have been Black Widow.

>Michael shannon as vulture
Fuck that would have been amazing.

>You think your tech is safe? I will find it. I will RECLAIM what you have STOLEN from me. I will find it... I will find it, Stark. I WILL FIND IT.

Rachel McAdams as Pepper would've been one hundred times better. I cannot fucking stand Gwyneth Paltrow.

McAdams turned down every cape role under the Sun - Lois Lane, Rachel Dawes, Iris West, etc - before finally caving to DOCTOR STRANGE.

>Captain America (Chris Evans)
>John Krasinski

>Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch)
> Jared Leto

ahhahahahahaahahha wat in the honest fuck....

>John Krasinski as Cap
>Jensen Ackles as Hawkeye
>Joel Edgerton as Star-Lord
>The Golden God as Star-Lord

The ones that interested me the most.

>Alice Eve
Probably the only one who could give Atwell a run for her tits.
Even tho I do love Rosamund pike's too

DAYUM.

At least she didnt age like milk.
Scarlett dropped the ball hard going full SJW

>Iron Man
>Timothy Olyphant
Omg...

>Gamora (Zoe Saldana)
>Olivia Wilde
You fucking failures.

>Malekith (Christopher Eccleston)
>>Mads Mikkelsen.
Thank god this didn't happen, I know people say Kaecilius was a flat villain, while true he was still far better then Malekith.

She hasn't even remotely gone full SJW.
> Got fully nude a few years ago.
> During speeches at a feminist rally she still discussed things Trump could do that would get her to support him. (most non trumpers act like there is nothing in all the fucking universe that would get them to do so)
> Did GITS ignorant or uncaring that it was white washing.

>Scarlett dropped the ball hard going full SJW
What the fuck does that even mean? Someon says one thing you disagree with for whatever asinine reason and suddenly they've gone "full SJW"?

It's more then one thing and it's the severity of it.
It's like the difference between believing capitalism is flawed & needs improvement vs believing capitalism is so fucking apocalyptic it should not exist and should be replaced by socialism.

That'd be great.

someone's never had to pay the mortgage after a market correction

That is not a excuse to take other people's hard earned money at gun point.
