Meh, recycling the same actor to play different roles in the same franchise/continuity does happen. Like Freema Agyeman who played both Adeola Oshodi and Martha Jones in Doctor Who. But in this case it wasn't too much of a problem as Addy was an expendable character who died within the story she appeared in (whereas Martha Jones was a recurring character as the Doctor's companion and later as a member of Torchwood). Doctor Who continuity does state that Addy and Martha are cousins who happen to bear a strong visual resemblance (bloody strong resemblance! Never met cousins who looked like identical twins!But still, at least it's an attempted explanation rather than just dismissing it).
So erm... maybe in the Marvel movie universe Johnny and Sue Storm are descendants of Steve Rogers (like grand-nephew and niece perhaps?).
I also hope they put in a few jokes from the Ultimates, like the culture clash between Steve and the other Avengers.
e.g.:
+ during a discussion about who would play who in an Avengers movie someone recommended Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury (who laughs and approves of this suggestion) and afterwards suggests that Bruce Lee could play Janet Pym (Wasp), who takes offence and goes off on a "you think Asians all look the same" rantage -- Captain America then interjects with, "Who's Bruce Lee?"
+ Steve Rogers, unable to work a CD player, has to go to extra trouble to track down a vintage record player and re-purchase his entire music collection on vinyl. He is later devastated when his home is burgled and his record collection is stolen!
+ When Captain America first reawakes he freaks out at seeing Nick Fury - a black man in uniform - and immediately believes he's been captured by enemies (he later apologises and states that while he's not a racist, it's simply not the America he knew)
...ya know, all the crazy crap that happens when you jump from 1945 to 2010 without any knowledge of what's happened in between.
Deadpool is Marvel while Green Lantern is DC, so it's highly unlikely that the two characters will come in contact with each other in the movie universe. Whereas Captain America and the Human Torch are both Marvel, and with Marvel now actively tying in their movies within the same continuity there is a possibility that they could come in contact with each other. Even if they don't it could be argued that they exist in the same universe yet look identical.Originally Posted by 1AZRAEL1
This was the same case with Addy and Martha in Doctor Who -- the two characters were never seen in contact with each other, but writers still felt the need to explain why two women in the same continuity would lookidentical^very similar.![]()
