sad that you think that. hes actually a pretty sweet actor (check out fruitvale station) and it would be sad if one bad film killed his career.

He's a perfectly good actor, he was just in one of the most hastily made, poorly written & directed superhero films ever put together. They thought they'd get away with bad writing by getting great actors, but believe it or not even the best actors can't fix a shitty movie. The evidence is in all those cheap animated movies that blow their budget on getting Sean Connery or something to do the voice acting.
I don't understand why Boba Fett is so popular.

You guys got me all wrong, I'm not hating on him as an actor, or even making an sort of comment to his acting ability. It's a reference to casting a black person in a white role (blahblahblah, I know, he could have taken the title, he could be dubbed, who knows just yet), especially since it's not the first time for Jordan.

are you kidding? have you seen fruitvale station? michael b jordan is a fantastic actor who takes terrible roles for some reason.

Given that Boba Fett is probably much older now than Jango was in Episode II, him being "too old" would probably not matter.
-snip I can't read what movie this is for-
As long as he doesn't talk or remove his helmet (I can't remember if Boba Fett does in the original trilogy), I don't care. I'd rather Boba Fett be played by someone who looks and sounds like a hardened killer rather some guy who would look better off in a high school football team.

the was in like 2 scenes in the movie and became HUGE
simply because the design was fantastic
[QUOTE=SonicHitman;48881334]sooo
what makes him qualified to cast as boba fett really?
i can't take him seriously when he plays in serious roles, he doesn't have the accent either
hows he different from any other guy wanting to play as him? just get morrison to play as him
what kind of story arc is him dying and someone else becoming him anyways, thats pretty ludicrous to wear mandalorian armor and suddenly become the galaxies deadliest bounty hunter.[/QUOTE]
it's a fine story arc that's been done thousands of times before though?? it just sounds like you're trying to use anything as a reason to complain

this is the kind of shit that makes me dislike boba fett. lame ass, minor character that spawned thousands of fanboys just because he looked cool
It doesn't matter who plays Boba. I can prove it

No, that is the guy they used as a stand-in when shooting the awful new scenes in Luca's re-edit of Return of the Jedi.

[QUOTE=redBadger;48882011]I'd honestly wouldn't mind if the guy who played Jango Fett returned to play Boba[/QUOTE]
Agreed. I like the guy.
But I hope they won't have Boba Fett somehow getting out of the Sarlacc pit in the new canon as well. It cheapens the whole scene and feels like fan service.

The original scene was fucking stupid to begin with and having a character people genuinely liked get killed by getting booped on the ass by a blind man in one of ROTJ's many terrible attempts at comic relief was a really dumb decision.
I don't even like Boba Fett since I watched the series so late after its release so by the time I got around to it the whole character just felt like a redundant cliché dude, but I can see why people were mad. His death scene [I]was[/I] really dumb.
[QUOTE=Banhfunbags;48883353]I don't understand why Boba Fett is so popular.[/QUOTE]it's less about what he did and more about how cool he looked not doing it
Not sure how to feel about this. I only saw MBJ in Chronicle which I only saw once and a long time ago. He was the hip guy in that and overall I think he acted okay. Right now my thoughts are he seems a bit young. It's hard to say anything else when we don't know what will Boba do in the movie and if he's going to be the real Boba.
I will say though that the Jango Fett actor would be perfect for aged Boba. I think his and McGregor's castings were the only spot on ones in the prequels.
[QUOTE=Mingebox;48883379]He's a very talented guy.[/QUOTE]
He got killed by a blind man.
Wasn't Josh Trank rumored to be the one making the Fett film till he got dropped? If so this rumor is probably irrelevant now since it was probably gonna be Trank just bringing over actors he liked again.
Pfft
I just don't buy this dude being a badass intergalatic bounty hunter. He's way too pretty, looks like he should be doing gay porn.
Seriously, from this:

Reminds me that the fencer who did the fight scenes for Vader was a perfect older, unburned Anakin before they even cast Anakin. I kinda wish he was the force ghost of Anakin at the end of RotJ

Also why do you guys care who plays Boba Fett? He's always wearing a mask anyways.
[QUOTE=Banhfunbags;48885620]Also why do you guys care who plays Boba Fett? He's always wearing a mask anyways.[/QUOTE]
Unless MBJ ends up being Karl Urban or Michael Fassbender levels of dedication with his agent stepping back and letting him do what he wants then I seriously doubt it. It'd be amazing but the chances of that happening are extremely low, especially for a film that would rake in potentially billions of dollars.

So was judge dredd but i guarantee you it wouldn't have worked if you cast toby maguire
[QUOTE=dilzinyomouth;48888119]So was judge dredd but i guarantee you it wouldn't have worked if you cast toby maguire[/QUOTE]
dredd was also the protagonist of his own film, not some side character with less than 5 minutes of screen time and 3 lines of dialogue
Eugh pretty sick of Bob Feet even though he's a "fan fav" even though he fucking dies like a little bitch in the sarlac pitt the pussy.
