I've never seen Mamoa beyond Game of Thrones..but he was pretty damn cool in that. Though have known of his other...works.

Also...JUST saw ZDT yesterday. If they go w/ Pratt as Starlord...great. The guy has the size, comic timing, and level of seriousness for the character. I'd go w/ that for sure. ZDT was pretty damn cool.

Why the hell would he hold out for more money? Does he think he has any amount of leverage?

I wouldn't assume this movie would be a huge success just because of the Avengers. It's a pretty out there concept, and I'm still not sure if mainstream audiences are ready for it.

Momoa waiting for that Conan sequel?

As usual (good or bad) Marvel is going to keep the money tight. But for someone like Momoa he shouldve jumped on that just for more exposure.

I don't understand how tight of an asshole Marvel (now backed by Disney) can be. They get cheap directors. Who produce more than financially worthy films. And then they've weird deals w/ their actors. I think Downey is the best paid one cuz he knows wtf is going on. Didn't he get a shit ton off of The Avengers?

I suspect the contract would limit his ability to do other roles and doesn't have a big payday involved if he is optioned for a sequel. From the way Marvel has been running things, it appears they think they can cast almost anyone in any role (aside from Iron Man in their universe) and still sell the movie.

Hey, Marvel understands where the money needs to be spent on these movies... and it's in the vfx. The cast is secondary.

No. He actually left wrestling a few years back on his own terms.

In actuality, aren't they all? I always thought the "managers" were just another part of the schtick.

I was being literal. Who is The Rock's manager for movies and such?

Vince was basically his manager in the beginning, which is why he got executive producer credits in all of his early starrring roles, but I'm positive he has people for that now and Vince isn't involved.

Cena pretty much only makes movies when the movie is produced by WWE films.

Batista hasn't been with WWE in years, I'm sure Vince isn't involved in his film career.

Never really thought about who managed The Rock now. Whoever does though makes good money w/ him. Especially now. A few rough steps in quality but mostly for a guy like that. Damn fine work.

As of last year, The Rock's ex-wife was still his manager

Zoe Saldana is in negotiations to play the female lead in Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy, The Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively.

Saldana would play Gamora, the green-skinned humanoid who is the last of a species that was exterminated by a race known as the Badoon. She also happens to be a skilled assassin.

If a deal makes, Saldana will join Chris Pratt, who is playing Star-Lord, and Dave Bautista, who portraying Drax the Destroyer, in the space-set adventure movie. The superhero group also includes Groot, a giant tree-man, and Rocket Raccoon, a genetically engineered animal with a knack for guns and explosives.

James Gunn is directing the movie, which is eyeing a June production start date. Disney has set an August 1, 2014, release date for Guardians.
