FLASH STAR READY TO BAIL DCEU FOR THE MCU



These days the only actors working are the ones who are currently making comic book properties, and the ones who aren't doing it yet. However, nobody has really crossed over from one big brand to the other. One actor is ready to be the first. Robbie Amell, who played the original Firestorm on CW's The Flash says he'd be more than happy to work within the MCU if given the chance.
No, I have no loyalties. They've killed me a couple of times, and I'll always gladly go back. But, at the same time, I'm a huge fan of Marvel movies. I like what they're doing. It has less to do with it being Marvel or DC and more just being a character that I'm interested in and speaks to me.
To be fair, Robbie Amell laughed when making the comment about having no loyalties. It doesn't appear his comments to Comicbook.com come from any actual animosity from the fact that he's been killed off on The Flash. Rather, he's just making the point that, as an actor, the politics behind the characters isn't what he considers. He just wants to play a good character in a good movie, and the MCU certainly has that. While we're sure Amell has enjoyed his time working within DC's universe, if you limit yourself only because of imaginary boundaries between particular projects then you just cut yourself off from work.


consider the shared universe that DC has built on television there are technically three different major comic book franchises between film and television. Thus far no major actors have crossed the lines. Everybody who has a significant role on one of them has yet to be cast in any others. Even the actors who have been cast in more than one role, like Alfre Woodard who had a cameo in captain America: Civil War before showing up on Luke Cage, have stayed within their particular sphere.Although there are a couple that have swapped over including Ben Affleck and Halle berry and it turned out really well for both as there first attempts in the superhero industry where shocking so who knows.
At some point, we will see those line crossed. As the MCU and DCEU expand at exponential rates they will simply need more actors to play the roles. 
Who are the actors that you'd like to see cross enemy lines? Should Will Smith play somebody in the MCU? Is there a DC character just waiting for Benedict Cumberbatch to take him on? What about Robbie Amell? Is there a good spot for him in the upcoming MCU films? #CAF #MsaNewsandViews

Paul Thomas Anderson Week: 'There Will Be Blood' Review!

• There Will Be Blood, 2007 • 8.2/10 • Firstly, I would like to start with Daniel Day Lewis' mesmerizing performance as the ruthless oil prospector, Daniel Plainview. The scumbag cons local landowners into selling their valuable land for pittance, and then he comes along like a "straw" and "sucks it all up," leaving him very wealthy and everyone else in his way. Paul Dano, Wow, do you really expect anything less than magic when it comes to him acting, he's a true tour de force. I wish we had preachers like Eli Sunday up at my local church. Johnny Greenwood's score is brilliant, it really gets under your skin, you then combine that with the gorgeous cinematography, smart screenplay and the brilliant acting, you then have yourself a film where even if your not paying complete attention, you will still hate the lead by the end, all the same! Yeah, I did just say that. I'm sorry peeps but it got a little boring at times (it didn't keep me hook

'Tomb Raider' Review: First Successful Game Adaptation! Kudos!

Image
• Tomb Raider, 2018 • 7.9/10 • Alicia Vikander gives Lara depth and personality much like Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones. She's vulnerable, but she's also stubborn and focused to survive on her own and has never lost hope that she'll once again see her father. The story is built on the reboot of the video game series, but takes another way after the arrival at the destination where most of the action takes place. When the story follows the video game it has weaknesses (as so many games adaptations do), but when it stands on its own, it shows glimpses of coming adventures for Lara Croft that makes you want more -- much because of Vikanders grounded performance. The script is by no means perfect, the CGI was a bit spotty in places, and yes there are a few cliches and overused story devices here and there, but overall it is an enjoyable film and our first successful game adaptation! Yesss! P.S - Dominc West was the perfect choice for Mr. Croft!

'Love, Simon' Review: What A Nice Surprise!

• Love, Simon • Spoiler-Free • 8.7/10 • Well, what a surprise.... Don't get me wrong, the story of 'Love, Simon' has pretty much all been done before, just not executed as well. Bar the classic stereotypes and some cheesy moments, this film had me laughing out loud and crying even louder! Tbh when you watch a film like this, you normally expect it to try to be, too clever, too cute and too precious, but boy I have never been so far off the mark. The intelligence, depth, and charm were all legitimate and sincere here and it truly made the film into something rather special. It's funny, sweet, caring, true, real, and should pretty much be labelled a "True Story" for all its worth. The acting on all accounts was second-to-none but Josh Duhamel had the biggest tear-jerking scene going! I was sobbing like a real man! And Nick Robinson was believable and nothing short of phenomenal! Kudos! If you can get past the cheese-factor, you will definetly Love,
