Come to think of it, she's the right age (if it's Waller just starting out), she's got the right look, and damn if she couldn't pull off "tough." :)<br /><br />Latifah for the Wall!Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06604189594978198173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144911575623105385.post-75142850536966443752010-11-03T16:33:46.468-07:002010-11-03T16:33:46.468-07:00and than you for the comment Richard. i agree caus...and than you for the comment Richard. i agree cause among other things i loved her on the SHIELD. welcome aboard, i wasn't sure how this blog would go over with people but i just decided one day last week to just go for it.Shlomo Ben Hungstienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238927958290618109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144911575623105385.post-69274840019792142092010-11-03T10:14:44.234-07:002010-11-03T10:14:44.234-07:00I'm sure I'm not unique in this thought, b...I'm sure I'm not unique in this thought, but thanks largely to her voice work on the JLU series and her other TV work, when I think of Amanda Waller I now think of CCH Pounder. <br /><br />Not just her voice, but in most all her acting roles she can really pull off that commanding presence that Wallers character needs.<br /><br />(BTW Dave, thanks for letting me know about this blog, considered it bookmarked.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144911575623105385.post-53812572156932150062010-10-30T15:35:00.561-07:002010-10-30T15:35:00.561-07:00I agree cast the character as she is.

Just like when they cast Halle Berry as Storm in the X-Men movies. Nothing against Halle but she is not storm.darzia2001https://www.blogger.com/profile/12040838371716356761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144911575623105385.post-76920046249614297682010-10-30T15:24:02.427-07:002010-10-30T15:24:02.427-07:00Vixen is a character that has more range in accept...Vixen is a character that has more range in acceptable casting. I'm a big fan of Angela Bassett, so she can have whatever part she wants, I guess. She just isn't right to play the Wall. She will do a good job I'm sure, but like you said, she would be recreating the character, not really portraying the character as I know her from the comics.<br /><br />Latifah would OWN it...Samaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17390821139505287622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144911575623105385.post-68221814957669273322010-10-30T11:10:57.440-07:002010-10-30T11:10:57.440-07:00welcome to the blog samax. that was an excellent s...welcome to the blog samax. that was an excellent suggestion about Queen Latifah! she has become quite the actress in recent years and i know she can play a real ball buster too like in that restaurant with Wesley Snipes in Jungle Fever. either later today or tomorrow i'm going to have something posted that includes Bronze Tiger i think you might like. <br />P.S.

Comicbook artists work hard to make characters unique, while Hollywood works hard to make everyone look the same.<br /><br />I would cast a plus-size actress in the role. Queen Latifah, Jill Scott, and Monique have all done enough work to deserve this kind of look, and there are sure to be others that didn't come to my mind immediately.Samaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17390821139505287622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144911575623105385.post-48689321334304734582010-10-30T05:15:35.025-07:002010-10-30T05:15:35.025-07:00Bassett's fine I guess, but I wish they'd ...Bassett's fine I guess, but I wish they'd cast an actress who looks more like Waller. Part of what was great about the Wall is that she was a short, fat woman, and yet she could put the fear of God into all these villain types.<br /><br />Hollywood is so afraid of bigger women, it's almost unbelievable.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.com
