Cap_Ironman Weekly News, Week Ending 5th April 2010

[valtyr]

Happy Easter, all who celebrate it! This week someone decided to tell cap_ironman they loved us, and we are always at home to gratuitous flattery, so thank you very much. :)

Last week we got a Cap and this week we got a Bucky. But rumour has it Emily Blunt has turned down the role of Cap's girlfriend, which is likely to be Peggy Carter, although could still be Golden Girl. (Not that I'm partial to Golden Girl or anything. I'm just putting it out there. Forlornly.) The article says they're also considering Keira Knightley or Alice Eve for the role; something all these women have in common is that they're British, which suggests that Cap's WWII girlfriend will be British. Which does make sense, considering there were a lot more British women than America out in the combat zones of WWII. It also suggests they might drop the close relationship between Sharon and Peggy, which would make Cap seem a little less, uh... well... creepy. What do you think?

Maybe it's Spitfire? She's blonde and British. That would be kind of fun. I like her.

Though if Jac's in it, and there's no female resistance fighters, I might be irritated.

Maybe we could have Natalia too though? Depending on the retcon, she was a teenager during the war, and did fight for the Russians. Not as Steve's gf, though, as that would be creepy.

Knightly would make me \o/

I would just like to say that TSUKI told me to post it or she would badger me forever. Blame her!

Oh and for a Love Interest, I vote Howard Stark :P

Noooo!!! Not Kiera Knightly!

Besides, she might be tied up with PoTC...4, I think? Or another costume drama. Gah, Knightly, all she does is pout with that crazy underbite. To be fair, Emily Blunt is up and coming, with the trajectory of her career right now, I can see why she'd avoid being in a Superhero movie, I think.

I'm dead pleased with the casting for Bucky. He was in The Covenant</> and the only good thing in that wretched movie.

IDK, I kind of adored Kiera in Pirates. I wouldn't mind seeing more of her. *cough* ¬.¬
