Recasting Wolverine and thoughts on Lando Prep

I sit here and think about how my life will potentially go forward and culminate into whatever happens in the future. Is it God's plan that I play Lando and that's where I was destined to be. I went to the star wars prequels each and every single one of them one by one as I waited 3 years in between and dived deeply into the internet world for news and tidbits on the films. I stood outside of the New Roc theater waiting for the bus, hoping that someone from Lucasfilm was going to drive by and notice a young lando standing right there in front of them. It never happened...

NOW of all times, the door is WIDE OPEN for someone from some corner of the world to play Lando in a star wars film. And I still live still breathe, still inhabit this world. I guess I was never supposed to play him the prequels...

Well, I'll do my best, I'll fight for it. I believe everybody should. If you want something badly enough, put everything into it that you have in your soul, then you'll have at least given it your best in the end. That's why I can't look totally down on this ghostbusters remake, nobody involved is giving up on it. They're going after what they want too, aren't they, same as me, no matter how impossible it may seem. Maybe they've made a bloody masterpiece, I don't know... I'll let the trailer decide if I give a shit about it or not in the end.

As far as Wolverine recasting goes. Hugh's made it clear he's done playing Wolverine after the 3rd film in his stand alone series. He wants Tom Hardy to take over and play him now.

I don't know. It's like having someone else play Luke Skywalker or Marty Mcfly. It's a tough call there to just have anybody replace those characters on screen. He's that perfect, absolute lightning in a bottle when he got cast. I don't see them finding anyone near as good as him in my mind.

Is that what Tom Hardy does, take over iconic screen character roles? He's already played Mad Max, don't ya think Wolverine is pushing it?

It's like we're not talking about Evan's captain america here. I certainly can see far better actors for the part than him and hope we do get a superior cap movie down the line. He's not fully embodying the pure good spirit and old school comic hero vibe that he's supposed to be oozing on screen.. Like Henry Cavil as superman. He's perfectly cast in a movie that's no where near his level of greatness as the character sadly.
