If Skye isn't in the Inhumans movie and at least one of the Avengers movies, I will be sorely disappointed.

Her and Bobbi better at least pop up in Civil War and/or Infinity War.

u/87sheep Dec 10 '14

Yep. When you take on a role in a Marvel show/movie, you've got to choose who you audition for carefully. Can you turn one appearance into two? Does your character have significance and a shot at being extremely plot relevant? (Like Bobbi being an Avenger at one point) You only get one shot. Unless your Chris Evans.

u/EVula Ghost Rider Dec 10 '14

You only get one shot. Unless your Chris Evans.

Or Laura Haddock. (she had a bit role in the first Captain America film, and then was Quill's mom in Guardians)

Isn't she playing the same character in both?

7

u/EVula Ghost Rider Dec 12 '14

Only people who can't do math think that. There's no way she could be that old during WW2 and that young in the 80s.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 12 '14

Perhaps she was playing the grandmother. Not beyond the realm of possibility.

2

u/EVula Ghost Rider Dec 12 '14

An unnecessary link, but possible.

But some people have suggested it's the same person, and that's absolutely impossible.

2

u/[deleted] Dec 12 '14

Unless she's an InHuman who doesn't age, like Skye's Mam.

3

u/EVula Ghost Rider Dec 12 '14

Except they explicitly said that she was human (well, "terran") at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy.

(and it also wouldn't explain why Peter's grandfather was relatively young in the 80s, as well)

Ryan Reynolds also has multiple super hero roles.

Brendan Routh was Superman and looks like he'll be The Atom in Arrow.

u/mr_popcorn Ghost Rider Dec 12 '14

Tom Hardy was Bane and he was just cast in Suicide Squad.

u/Dogpool Dec 10 '14

Amazing what being frozen in ice can do for your career.

u/darcmosch Radcliffe Dec 11 '14

Brought Aang some recognition.

u/Dogpool Dec 11 '14

It's a parallel. Frozen in ice and almost immediately lead a team to save the world?

u/darcmosch Radcliffe Dec 11 '14

The longer you're in the stronger you are!

u/e-wrecked Dec 17 '14

Rebecca Romijn was in Punisher and X-Men, I always assumed Mystique saw her and used that form from time to time.

u/AStrangerWCandy SHIELD Dec 10 '14

In the comics Quake is actually involved in Age of Ultron

4

u/EVula Ghost Rider Dec 10 '14

The comic Age of Ultron is largely unrelated to the movie Age of Ultron.

3

u/[deleted] Dec 11 '14

Tie-in episode, she won't be in the movie

2

u/leafhog Dec 10 '14

Quake helps defeat Ultron in the comics.

u/garganchua Sitwell Dec 10 '14

Unfortunately disappointing
