Dream Casting: Jim Henson Biopic

UPDATED 8/4/13 8:30 PM EST
I love the Muppets and I've been watching the Muppet Show lately. And I have always believed that Jim Henson was a creative revolutionary, a genius entertainer. I am surprised there hasn't yet been a biography tv movie yet on Jim Henson. But I forsee a movie of course. There is plenty to tell, how Henson got his start on a local show Sam and Friends, then various stints and commercials and specials and how he struggled to get the Muppet Show on the air but no network wanted it. At the end, he got a company in the UK to do it. His rise to success with various movies and then his 'mysterious' illness, his marriage and children. I think it was a straight off drama but didn't take it too seriously and brought comedy from its light and dark moments. One thing would be the voices of the Muppets, they would have to get the rights and the support of the Henson family.

Paul Rudd as Jim Henson

Not only the creator, director, writer of many Muppet projects but also the voice of many characters other than Kermit including Rowlf, Doctor Teeth, Link Heartthrob, Waldorf, Ernie, the Swedish Chef and much more. He not only did Muppets and Sesame Street but also responsible for Dark Crystal, Labyrinth and the puppetry in the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film. Jim was a striking man, especially when he had short hair. Paul Rudd (This is Forty, 40-year-old Virgin, Clueless and Knocked Up) is also a striking man, he can handle drama and comedy and a dramedy would be perfect for Henson.

 

 

David Cross as Frank Oz

Frank Oz was Henson's right hand man, now an acclaimed director. Frank originated Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Grover, Animal, Cookie Monster, Sam the Eagle, Bert, Yoda, and various others. He had a special relationship with Henson. He and Henson co-directed Dark Crystal. David Cross usually does comedy, he did some drama and he is the one that looks the most identical than the others I picked. Other people think they look alike especially when David Cross plays Tobias Funke in Arrested Development.

 

Will Forte as Jerry Nelson

Jerry Nelson first worked with Jim Henson in 1965 when Frank Oz got drafted and Henson needed somebody to perform the right hand of Rowlf on The Jimmy Dean Show. He has a distinct voice. Although he was uncredited, Nelson reprised his role as announcer during The Muppet Telethon in 2011's The Muppets. He died August 23, 2012 after years of health issues complicated by COPD. He voiced the Count, Floyd Pepper, Robin the frog (Kermit's nephew), Lew Zealand, and Gobo Fraggle. Will Forte (Saturday Night Live, MacGruber, 30 Rock, and Beerfest) can do plenty voices. Other than resembling him, I think they have a similar sense of humor. Also Forte had experience on a Variety Show which is what the Muppet Show was.

Simon Helberg as Richard Hunt

After high school graduation and a four-month stint of doing weather reports at a local radio station, Hunt had his first inkling that he might join the Muppets. His first project was The Great Santa Claus Switch in 1970, along with Fran Brill. A few weeks later, he was invited to be in a workshop production. The newcomer was so good, Henson asked him to work a Muppet appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. He performed and voiced Scooter, Beeker, Janice and Sweetums. Simon Helberg (MADtv, 'Big Bang Theory') has done a spot-on Kermit impression and he's young and I am sure can bring the young spirit Richard had. Richard died from complications of AIDS in 1992, shortly after Henson.

 

Zach Galifianakis as Dave Goelz

The mechanically-minded Goelz worked for such companies as John Deere, American Airlines, and Hewlett Packard as industrial designer. He then went on to design and build muppets and quickly went to performing. He did Gonzo, Boober Fraggle, Bunsen Honeydew, and Zoot. Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover) is a natural fit, he envelops himself in his roles. Maybe its the beard. Lots of these guys have beards. Like Frank Oz, Dave Goelz is still alive. 
 

Taylor Handley as Steve Whitmire

Steve was young too like Richard Hunt, he did Rizzo Rat and minor characters on the Muppet Show and went on to do Bean Bunny and Wembley Fraggle and ultimately Kermit the Frog. He took over in "The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson." Maybe Taylor Handley (Zerophilla, "Hidden Palms," "The O.C.," and "Vegas") is too attractive but he is a terrific actor (he is recently in a Playstation commercial). Steve Whitmare, Dave Goelz and Frank Oz are the only major players that are still alive.

Kevin Hart as Kevin Clash

In the early '80s, he performed regularly, with Jim Martin, on Bob Keeshan's Wake Up with the Captain (Captain Kangaroo). In 1979, Muppet performers were performing in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and extra puppeteers were needed for the Sesame Street float. Clash was brought in to perform Cookie Monster for the event. Clash worked with Henson in "The Jim Henson Hour." He has had controversy lately but he did have a documentary "Being Elmo." He has performed Elmo, Clifford, Leon, Hoots the Owl, Baby Sinclair of the Dinosaurs and others. Now Kevin Hart (Scary Movie 4, Superhero Movie) is no stranger to controversy in his comedy. Maybe he might have trepidation portraying Clash, but I think he'd be good.

 Gary Oldman as Caroll Spinney

Caroll Spinney portrayed Big Bird. In the 70's of course he had brown hair and now he is best known for having white hair. Gary Oldman (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Batman Begins, Dark Knight Rises, The Fifth Element) can alternate. He is a brilliant actor. In 1955, Spinney headed to Las Vegas, Nevada, where he created the show Rascal Rabbit. In the 1960s, Spinney created two puppet cats, Picklepuss and Pop, who he performed in various venues, including stage shows and some Bozo broadcasts. In 1969, Spinney met Jim Henson at the Puppeteers' of America Festival in Salt Lake City, following an ambitious experimental presentation, which combined different live-puppetry techniques with film projections. I think Oldman would draw sympathy.

 Emma Stone as Louise Gold

She was the only British member of The Muppet Show performing team. She joined the Muppet Team in 1977, during the second season of The Muppet Show. Her most well known character on the show was young and aspiring pig Annie Sue. While on The Muppet Show, she frequently worked as assistant to Jim Henson when performing characters that would require more than one person. She and her character Annie Sue will be back in the upcoming Muppets Most Wanted. It might be a short role but I think Emma Stone (Superbad, Amazing Spider-Man, Easy A) can make it memorable.

 Anne Hutchison as Jane Henson

She worked with Jim in Sam and Friends. She and Henson met in a puppetry course at the University of Maryland, College Park, where they were both undergraduates. They were married for 30 years. Jim and Jane Henson separated in 1986, but remained close until Jim's death in 1990. She died April 2, 2013. Anne Hutchison is Australian, she was in Cabin in the Woods and 'Power Rangers Jungle Fury.'

Freddie Highmore as Brian Henson

Brian Henson is the third child of Jim and Jane Henson. As a child, he made several cameo appearances in Sesame Street. As a teenager, Brian Henson worked at Sesame Place. During the 1980s, Henson wanted to make a name for himself and find work without his father's help. He performed Jack Pumpkinhead in Return to Oz, operated special effects in Santa Clause: The Movie, and was a principal performer for the Audrey II puppet in Little Shop of Horrors. He performed Hoggle in Labriynth. I think Freddie (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Finding Neverland, "Bates Hotel") would make a good young Brian. Even though his younger brother John has performed Sweetums, Brian is a more hands-on Muppet performer.

I don't seem to be the only one to have this idea:

Is it me or does Nod from Epic look like Eric Balfour?

 

 BlueSky's new movie Epic (horrible name for a movie) stars Josh Hutcherson as Nod, but Nod looks more like Eric Balfour to me than Josh Hutcherson. Eric Balfour is best known for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Skyline, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, 24, Haven, and other projects.

Flaws with Premise of Playing For Keeps

Gerard Butler plays a soccer player in Playing For Keeps (2012)----one of his nine upcoming projects and he is after one woman, 'the one that got away.' The problem is that the woman he is after is Jessica Biel, who is 30 years old. Gerard Butler will be 43 on November 13th. Gerard is 13 years older than Jessica. Jessica would had have like a 12 year span from being 18 to being 30 to have dated Gerard. When Jessica was 18, he was 31 approximately. I mean, it is not a leap but I find the premise hilarious. I mean, it is socially acceptable these days for an older man and younger woman. But there is a double standard with older women and younger men.

Homophobic elf in Rise of the Guardians?

 In the upcoming Dreamworks movie "Rise of the Guardians," a male elf kisses another male elf in the trailer. So the one that gets kissed, closes his eyes and punches the other away. Now this is of course out of context but still looks pretty bad. I would have to see the movie to see if the elf just doesn't like being kissed, but I am around kids a lot and they take a lot of trailers in as truth. Some can't afford to see the movie, and only see the trailer commercials. And many kids hit each other. Maybe I am taking this too seriously.

I'm not the only one that feels this way: 

@MicahNR: WTF @dreamworks? A male elf kisses another on the cheek in rise of the guardians trailer then gets punched in the face? #Homophobic #LGBTQ

Brave Miami Dolphin in Ace Venture: Pet Detective

  Ace Venture: Pet Detective (1994) has always been a great comedy to me as it had the Miami Dolphins in it and most of it was filmed in Miami. I am of course from Miami. It also is one of the first movies I heard of the use of Transgenders. But the thing is that Transgenders are shown in a negative light. The villain is one. Anyway, there is a sequence that features Ace looking at the Dolphins, to check which player has a missing stone in a  ring to find the person who stole the pet dolphin. 

 So in the sequence he is in the bathroom in a stall next to a Miami Dolphin and then the player thinks he is looking at his penis. Jut when we think Ace will get beat up, the player ends up to be interested and chases after him, alluding that he was gay.

 So I think that player was Jeff Uhlenhake. If indeed was an ACTUAL Miami Dolphin and not some actor, then that was EXTREMELY brave of him to do so because some people might think it would ruin his reputation. And plus that this was 18 years ago. Times were different. Maybe these days, no player would do it.

Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon Levitt in Looper

I'm not buying the prosthetic or eye contacts on Joseph Gordon Levitt to be a younger Bruce Willis in the film Looper (2012). JGL said that he originally wanted to play the older version of himself but the director didn't let him. I found a pic of Bruce in 1986 at 31 years old, the same age as JGL is right now but doesn't look anything like what they made JGL look like in Looper. It is like people have been saying, that we know what BW looked like in 1986 and also, JGL is relatively well-known now and BW is soooo well known, it is hard to connect the two. In the last pic, I used Morphthing.com to morph two pics of the two actors at the same age to see what it would look like.

There was a Top Cat movie?

Top Cat was an animated series by Hanna-Barbara that aired from September 27, 1961 to April 18, 1962 for a run of 30 episodes on the ABC network. A frequent plot-line revolved around the local beat policeman, Charles "Charlie" Dibble, NYPD and his ineffective attempts to evict the gang from the alley. The only reason that he wanted to be rid of them was that Top Cat and his gang were constantly attempting to earn a quick dollar—usually through an illegal scam.

 But there was a movie? And only released in Mexico and the UK?! Top Cat: The Movie is a 2011 3D Mexican flash-animated action-comedy film. The original Spanish dub was released throughout Mexico and Latin America in 2D and 3D selected theaters on September 16, 2011 and it was a critical and box office success, and the English version released in the United Kingdom in June 2012. It is also to be released in Australia and already released in Spain. Maybe the creators didn't think Americans would remember it but it is surprising that they chose Mexico. It is almost unheard of for a major American animation studio to make a film exclusively for Mexico.

Dark Knight Rises Review

I didn't read any spoilers before seeing the movie so this article is only for those who say the movie.

SPOILERS
See this movie!

 I might be morbid but I can't help but think that this is the last movie that the victims of the shooting saw or were going to watch. So many issues of gun use ran through my head while watching the movie. Even Selena Kyle (Anne Hathaway) comments to Batman that she doesn't get his non-gun use. So if you saw the movie you know the basic plot: Bruce is disillusioned and a broken shell of a man until robbed by Kyle. He slowly starts 'getting back in the game' only to loose all his money in the stock market thanks to Bane, pupil of Ra's Al Ghul (Liam Neeson, who made a cameo) and crazy motherfucker. He gets terrorists and take over the city after beating up Batman. Bruce is sent to a prison where he heard tale of a child who climbed up the well-like prison and assumes it is Bane. With a three times is a charm in a long spiraling story, Bruce goes through his own spiritual and physical journey and somewhat metamorphosis.

 I cried in the scene where Alfred is saying goodbye to Bruce, pleading for him to leave the Bat Cowl but Bruce refuses. Alfred talks about raising Bruce and hearing his baby cries at night echoing in the halls. Joseph Gordon Levitt is also a delight as hot shot police officer that figured out Bruce's identity because of his own orphaned past and close-up encounters with both Bruce and Batman. The only mistake (and I don't notice that many when I watch movies) I noticed in the movie was a minor glitch where Bruce's hand moves on his cane when first talking to Fox (Morgan Freeman) about the company. There were plenty of 'duh' moments and 'I expected that' but it is sort of excusable. Hathaway and Bale have electric chemistry and great banter. Some great one-liners. The 'challenge of soul and body' is a bit trite and overplayed and is manipulative but the harsh realism is what gets to me. C. Murphy also makes a cameo, marking his appearance in all three movies. 

I didn't get the title of the movie until I saw it. Dark Knight was the name of the last movie so 'Rises' felt like a redundant add-on but after seeing the movie, I get it. You can't top Heath Ledger's Joker but Tom Hardy's Bane is smart and lethal (even though he sounds like Patrick Stewart on helium on times or hard to understand). Joseph Gordon Levitt does a great job and half way through the movie, I already figured out the ending. As for Bruce Wayne's 'death,' the woman next to me was crying loudly and I was like... 'really?' Anyway, the movie had that awesome pay-back with Alfred spotting a familiar couple at the end of the movie. I didn't like much the actress who played Miranda (Marion Cotillard), she can play damsel in distress but not evil seductress. Matthew Modine as Foley look a bit like Harvey Dent from far away that it got confusing at times. Anyway, awesome end to the trilogy!

Ty Burrell replaces Robert Downey Jr. as the voice of Mister Peabody

Robert Downey, Jr. was announced to voice Mr. Peabody, but in March 2012, he got replaced by Ty Burrell. Max Charles, the actor who plays young Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man will voice Sherman. In June 2012, it was reported that Mr. Peabody & Sherman's release date has been moved up to November 8, 2013, replacing another DreamWorks Animation's film Me & My Shadow. Stephen Colbert will voice Paul Peterson, Mr. Peabody's nemesis, Allison Janney will voice Peterson's wife, Paula, and Ariel Winter their daughter Penny. Also joining the cast are Ellie Kemper and Stephen Tobolowsky. The film will feature Mr. Peabody, a talking dog who is the smartest being in the world, and his "pet" boy Sherman. When Sherman's use of their time traveling WABAC machine results in disastrous and comical results, it is up to them to put things on track before the space-time continuum is irreparably destroyed.

I thought ParaNorman was from the same people who did Monster House but it is not.

 I thought ParaNorman was from the same people who did Monster House but it is not. There is this new movie out August 17 called ParaNorman, about kids and ghosts and monsters. It looks similar to the movie Monster House, but I am not saying plot-wise---it reminded me stylistically. But it turns out that Monster House was produced by ImageMovers and Amblin Entertainment, and distributed by Columbia Pictures.

 ParaNorman is actually produced by Coraline creators Laika, distributed by Focus Features. LAIKA, Inc. is an American stop-motion animation studio specializing in feature films, commercials, music videos, broadcast graphics and short films. The studio is best known for its stop-motion feature film Coraline, released in 2009.  Laika is owned by Nike co-founder and Chairman Phil Knight, and is located in Oregon's Portland metropolitan area; Knight's son Travis acts as its President and CEO. The company has two divisions, Laika Entertainment for feature films and Laika/house for commercial work such as advertisements and music videos. Their feature films are distributed by Focus Features.

 

I thought ParaNorman was computer animated like Monster House but it is actually stop-motion animated film like Coraline. Currently in production at the Hillsboro studio are a stop-motion film ParaNorman slated for an August 17, 2012 release, and an unnamed production for 2014. Laika has also optioned Colin Meloy's fantasy novel Wildwood, and Philip Reeve's fantasy book Goblins to make feature film adaptations. The voice cast includes Casey Affleck, Tempestt Bledsoe, Jeff Garlin, John Goodman, Bernard Hill, Anna Kendrick, Leslie Mann, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Elaine Stritch and Tucker Albrizzi.

Amazing Spider-Man Review

 My close friend revealed she reads these so she probably already know what I am going to say as I saw the movie with her. She saw it twice but I'm the kind of guy that once is suffice. This movie is worth seeing, it is fun, tear-full, intimate, and dark. As the first Sam Raimi's movies were a bit cheerful and glossy. My friends call it campy but I don't consider it as campy as "Batman and Robin" with Arnold S. This Spider-Man is a bit grounded in reality even though there is gene-splicing, changing rats into lizards and other stuff that nature. Anyway, we get the origin story again but told in an unique way. This time Peter Parker's dad is involved and was developing experiments with animals to cure diseases along with Dr. Connors (Rhys Ifans). They worked for Oscorp (Norman Osbourne is mentioned only in name).

 Peter is given to his aunt and uncle when his parents mysteriously go missing after their house is broken in to. Andrew Garfield is absolutely charming as Peter Parker, I love his stammer and he just exudes sex. He is so lanky but also cool-acting. Whereas Toby Maguire played Peter as a stereotypical nerd, Andrew's Peter is more of a loner, he gets beat up and plenty, but he withstands it. He is a skater-boy (so nimble!). Oh he has an ass that just doesn't quit. Even Jon Stewart commented on Andrew's butt on the Daily Show. In Sam Raimi's movie, as soon as Spider-Man became Spider-Man, it was a big news thing, everyone loved him. Not so here. It is treated more realistically. The chief of police (Dennis Leary) calls him for what he is--a boy out for revenge but not yet a hero. So Peter stays in school and not working for the newspaper so no Jameson. But he is still a photographer and we do have bully Flash (Chris Zylka). Emma Watson is also charming as Gwen Stacy, she is smart and sweet, her big doe-eyes communicate a lot and she has the comedic chops. At first I wasn't for having big names as Martin Sheen and Sally Field but I admit I like their experience, it makes any quick scenes feel longer and more organic.

 

SPOILERS

 Spoiler Alert but many things of the first Sam Raimi movie happens here as well that are part of the origin story. Of course Uncle Ben dies but this time instead dropping Peter at a wrestling match, they are having a fight and Peter ran away. Ben looks for him and Peter goes to buy milk but doesn't have enough money. So Ben is killed by a criminal that robs the store where the employee refused Peter. Peter never quite gets the guy but he tries, he keeps chasing criminals to get to the guy. The chief of police is Gwen's dad which was already revealed in the trailers, one of my friends watching the movie actually seemed surprised. The movie is not without its obvious plot twists. Gwen works for Ozcorp and I wondered why because while in most of the movie, she seems to have no purpose other than just be a romantic interest and confidant. But eventually the purposes seem clear. My friends liked that Spider-Man was more 'spider' like and super strong. He wraps Lizard in a cocoon in one bit. For me, this is a mostly Peter Parker film, it is that personal.

I didn't like the abrupt change of Dr. Connors/Lizard, it was not so clear that he had changed to wanting everyone to be lizards. I also don't like the shadows of Green Goblin, where Dr. Connors seems to have a split-personality. He quickly wants to kill Spider-Man. But I understand why they had to do it. Also, I absolutely hated the bug-eyed Rajit Ratha (Irrfan Khan), who Lizard wants revenge on. I think we are meant to feel for him, but it is hard to. Poor Peter, he looses four people. He is bloody almost the whole movie. Which is just great entertainment. I dug it.

Magic Mike Movie Review

 Directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring Channing Tatum as Mike, Matthew McConaughey as Dallas (the owner and father figure), Alex Pettefyr as Adam and Cody Horn as Adam's sister Brooke. Xquisite is a club that showcases a strip show for women. Where as female strippers are on poles and strip all the way down, these men give out a show in bright lights and music and just end up in G-strings. Adam meets Mike at a construction job and is quickly fired and sees Mike again at a club and is quickly thrusted into stripping giving him lots of money and ability to be with any woman, which gets to his head. Mike is the real star as he wants to be an entrepreneur making handmade furniture out of junk but struggles in his effort. He has a slow building but obvious romance with Brooke as he has his sex buddy Joanna (Olivia Munn) who they have threesomes with.

 Set in Tampa, Florida, their ultimate goal is have a club in Miami. We meet the other strippers Joe Manfaniello (True Blood), Matt Bomer (White Collar), Adam Rodriguez (CSI Miami) and Kevin Nash but we barely get to know them as characters. Either I am not used to Soderbergh's style or the script by Reid Carolin is merely a sneak peak into a person's life than the traditional mainstream narrative. Not to get super spoilerly but is a threat involved but I barely feel the threat. Things are said but we don't see it. And we never get to see Miami, it would been nice to see that. Channing carries the movie. I went to see the movie with my girlfriends and one said it as a bad porno with bad acting. She said she got what she paid for as she wanted just eye candy. And there is plenty of eye candy.

Straight boyfriends might be concerned that this movie is only for straight women and gay guys but it gives equal opportunity to all. Men might sympathize and relate to Mikes problems or Adam's over-zealousness. There are plenty of breasts (three pairs at least), all the men show their butts (Channing most of all) and we see a penis in the corner of the screen for a few seconds---most likely a stunt 'cock.' We see the shows but I wish we saw more of the other shows as the majority of them are in a montage and the shows we see more in full are Mike's and as a group. Rumor is Channing and Soderbergh are planning on a Broadway show but not sure if they want to be a musical. I think if this was a musical movie, it would had blown "Rock of Ages" out of the water. I felt like singing was missing. Matthew does plenty of it, but Tom Cruise's singing gives more to desire.

 

In the end, it is an entertaining movie but for my taste, I would have liked more to happen and more character development from the other actors. But like I say, the movie is more of a sneak-peak in a person's life, it is not a normal plot---it is just a vignette. But just like the women that go to their shows in the movie, in real life group of women go see this movie and swoon.

Three Years to go and Mattel releases Hoverboard!

 In 2006, I mentioned how the hoverboard from Back to the Future II was nine years away and now oh my god, it is only three years away. Main character Marty McFly travels to 2015 and borrows a girl's hover board from Mattel. So now Mattel really is creating one for 2012 but it doesn't really hover. But some guys did make a project to make an actual hoverboard, it does hover but like an inch off the ground and doesn't take any passengers. Well, that is an accomplishment as we still don't have colonies on the moon, flying cars, or teleportation watches.

"Likely hoping to capture the same frenzied, nostalgic excitement that was created by the release of the Nike Mags, Mattel has just announced that the company will be creating a 1:1 replica of the hover board used by Michael J. Fox’s character in both Back to the Future II and Back to the Future III. The board will make “whooshing” sounds similar to the films and Mattel mentioned that the board will “glide over most surfaces,” but not actually hover. Mattel is targeting a November or December 2012 release window"

Avengers 2 Costume Ideas for possible new heroes

This is all speculation. These are all hypothetical. Here I put some Avengers characters from the comics and saying how their costumes would look if they were in live-action for a Marvel movie.

 

Ant Man

Biophysicist and Security Operations Center expert Dr. Henry 'Hank' Pym decided to become a superhero after discovering a chemical substance that would allow the user to alter his size.

 Left is a hypothetical costume I found online and right is a cosplay costume of the most well-known comic book costume. Since he is getting his own movie, I imagine the costume will be suped-up and more or less look like the one to the left but not be so full of silver. I think it will be red and blue but a darker hue. Also the mask might look tighter than the left one.

The Wasp

Janet Van Dyne initially a shallow, self-centered, flighty daughter of wealthy scientist. During an experiment, an alien monster was unleashed from an alternate dimension and killed her dad. Her father's associate, Antman convinced Pym to help her.

 Left side is a live-action-looking costume and right is a comic book cosplay. I like the use of yellow and black, I think her hair should be short. I think her wings should be shorter and come out later but not always. I like the idea of her costume being all black and tight but I do think she should have yellow gloves and yellow trim on her legs and rest of the suit.

Ms. Marvel

Ms. Marvel initially possessed superhuman strength, endurance, stamina, flight, physical durability, a limited precognitive "seventh sense", and a perfectly amalgamated human/Kree physiology that rendered her resistant to most toxins and poisons, with the added effect of making her body virtually indestructible. Carol Danvers used to be a reporter and editor of the same newspaper James Jamensson and Peter Parker worked at.

 Left is one version of her costume and right is her most-known. I think her costume needs to change for the live-action movie version. I love it in cosplay and in comics, but I think it might look like the live-action X-Men costumes. Look at Jean Grey and Storm that received jumpsuits. Maybe she should have a red belt with the big black jumpsuit, yellow outline bolt on their chest and dark navy elbow-high gloves and knee-high boots.

 

Scarlet Witch

She is the daughter of Magneto, the twin sister of Quicksilver, The Scarlet Witch is a mutant who had the ability to manipulate probability via her "hexes".

Both costumes look similar, but I like the take of the left one that is a corset. I think it should be all red instead of too much pink, maybe light pink. Some people might add black, but Thor doesn't have a lot of black and neither does Captain America or Thor. Well if Captain America can have blue, scarlet and white. Scarlet Witch can have scarlet and red.

  

Quicksilver

 Quicksilver is a mutant capable of moving and thinking at superhuman speeds.

I can't find any good costumes for Quick Silver. I like the drawn one above from the comics. I would like to see him in a dark blue jumpsuit similar to the X-Men First Class costumes but with silver in it of course.

 Namor

 The mutant son of a human sea captain and of a princess of the mythical undersea kingdom of Atlantis, Namor possesses the super-strength and aquatic abilities of the "Homo mermanus" race, as well as the mutant ability of flight. Through the years, he has been alternately portrayed as a good-natured but short-fused superhero, or a hostile invader seeking vengeance for perceived wrongs that misguided surface-dwellers committed against his kingdom.

Most cosplays are just nude men with green briefs, a trident and pointy ears. One costume had him with black pants and black open-shirt. I think mos tlikely he won't be shirtless all the time, maybe in one scene or two. I think his ears should be like the recent Spock ears in Star Trek. I think he should have a black and dark green scuba-suit-type suit with a gold belt.

The Vision

The robot Ultron is the creator of the Vision, a type of android he calls a "synthezoid", for use against Ultron's own creator, Dr. Henry Pym. he can fire beams of infrared and microwave radiation.

 I like the cosplays, but I see him more in a dark green and instead of yellow, a gold. I like to see a golden metal chest plate with the red gem small. Also green boots and small gold gloves. Also his face to be a dark red, a bit like Iron man and Dr. Doom.

 

Black Panther

The Black Panther is the ceremonial title given to the chief of the Panther Tribe of the advanced African nation of Wakanda. He eats a heart-shaped herb which grants him superhuman senses and increases his strength, speed, and agility to the peak of human development.

 I think he should look all armor-like like Batman but not to get mistaken for Batman- have gold trims and the big honky-necklace and big gold buckle and nothing on his chest. Also a big panther-like face.

She-Hulk

Jennifer got exposed to her cousin's gamma-ray Hulk stuff when she had a blood transfusion.

 Her most iconic costume is the one to the left with white and purple. For sure, fans would her green skin to show off. Maybe her suit won't be so white and maybe silver with purple trum. I would like a bikini-like costume or maybe an open back.
