Triple H has the look, no doubt about that... but the acting ability? I'd like to think he'd do all the work he had to, including reading 40 years worth of Marvel Thor and Avengers comics to get the background to the character and then take professional acting lessons (yeah, it's a completely different thing acting for the silver screen).
We can't judge him on his barely-more-than-cameo role in Blade: Trinity.

He doesn't have the look, he's far too old and he just his style of "acting" wouldn't suit the character one bit.
It's like saying John Cena should play Captain America.
The only wrestler I would accept playing a super hero would be Edge playing the part of Longshot in an X-men movie.

At the same time, wrestlers are actually learning to be actors lately and we will see when Triple H's movie finally gets done.

Yeah that's acceptable, but he will never fit the bill. People are only suggesting him because he's a wrestler.

I originally thought it wouldn't work unless Marvel had all of these superhero's in their own movies first. However I could see them obviously adding the 3 big names (Iron Man, Hulk, and Nick Fury) and having someone like Captain America or Thor being introduced at the beginning of the movie (The Avengers) and building on their characters for about 30 minutes before they're approached to be apart of The Avengers. All of the supporting characters can be introduced when all of the superheros are brought together by Fury. One of those "We've searched the World for the best" kind of speaches.

How is it any worse than being associated with Never Back Down? True.. but to a degree maybe he thought he was going to get a serious role. I agree he would make a great Black Panther but so would Chiwetel Ejiofor. Either one would be amazing, but I'd prefer Chiwetel. |

The only thing HHH would be fit for in an Avengers movie is a random Motorhead fan in the background of some scene.

Paramount also owns the rights to a Captain America movie but they have signed no one yet. They could as Edward Norton.. but The Incredible Hulk is being distributed by Universal.. not Paramount so I don't see them asking Norton to come in.
Just some info that I just found out from Paramount is this
John Singleton, the director of "Four Brothers", "Shaft", and "Too Fast Too Furious" is slated to direct the next "A-Team" movie and then after that start work on the new "Luke Cage" and "Black Panther" movies which are both signed to be distributed by Paramount.

Luke Cage is getting a movie? Luke Cage? Iron Fist better be in that damn movie, for that's the only thing that'll make me want to see it.

Originally, Wesley Snipes was being heavily considered to play Black Panther. But it looks like he won't be making too many movies anytime soon. Which is good in this case, because I hate seeing too many major superheroes being played by the same guy.
And as for Luke Cage...hopefully they'll resist the urge to make it a summer blockbuster and release it in December as it should be.
And even though it's off-topic, I'll opine on the A-Team. When I heard Ice Cube was rumored to be playing BA, I thought "Well, who would make a good Hannibal?" and decided on George Clooney. Then I realized that Three Kings was just a less funny version of the A-Team.

I could see him as a good "Hero For Hire" but I can't see it as a big movie. Maybe budget like the first Punisher flick. Gibson just doesn't have the power to draw many people in. |

It upsets me that the Ant-man movie is going to be a comedy considering it is slated to be directed by Edgar Wright with Simon Pegg rumoured as being Ant-man.

Yeah it is kinda sad that they aren't really being taken seriously especially after it has been shown time and time again that comic movies are really big now.

Where did you see that Pegg could be Ant-Man? Wright stated in Empire Magazine: "'It’s written and we’re doing a second draft of it,' said Wright. 'It’s going to be less overtly comedic than anything else I’ve ever done. It’s more of a full-on action adventure sci-fi film but with a comedic element – in the same spirit of a lot of escapist fare like that. It’s certainly not a superhero spoof or pastiche and it certainly isn’t a sort of Honey I Shrunk The Kids endeavour at all.'" |

I know it's not much to go on. |
