RE: Thought Bubble Thursdays #17 - Up, Up and, well... Away
I agree, DC really screwed the pooch, dropped the ball and all manner of metaphors! They had such a golden opportunity too!
When the project was announced, I had pegged Mads Mikkelsen for the part, but I guess Cavill was cast for the physicality. Let's reserve judgment until it airs. I do have reservations about him taking on the role, but I like his enthusiasm heading in. Maybe they'll do a younger version of Geralt? I'm not that familiar with the story, so I have no expectations whatsoever.
I've read somewhere that they're reconsidering their casting decision and opting for a white actress instead. Fingers crossed that fans would win out over political correctness. That's been really getting way out of hand for the past few years. I hope the studios learn from past mistakes.
Mads Mikkelsen hehehe i believed he would be the one too!
i really can't understand that political correctness in movies and series. Whenever they enforce that tactic the outcome is the same, bad reviews and less money.
They're trying to appease a somewhat niche market. Since they have resources they can afford to waste I guess it's fine with them.
