We have our new Rick Flag in suicide squad film and Hawkeye confirmed for captain America civil war

Some big comic book movie news this week is that the Joel Kinnaman is the new Rick Flag in suicide Squad and that Jeremy Renner will be returning as Hawkeye in captain America civil war.

First big news is that after Tom Hardy's departure from the suicide squad film Warner bros have been looking for a new Rick Flag. Now they have Robocop actor Joel kinnemen to play the character and this doesn't really excite me that much. No disrespect to the actor I actually think he is an alright actor and I thought he made for a decent Robocop but he is no Tom hardy and that was always going to be the problem in this circumstance. Hardy is one of my favourite actors around and I was really looking forward to seeing him play the leader of the suicide squad which I now know isn't happening. I also worry about this film a little bit for a few different reasons. The fact is that people have compared this film to guardians of the galaxy but that was marvels 10th film in this universe but this will be the third film in the DC universe and I think this film may be a little too early. Also now this film lacks star power and they are really banking on the fact that it is a comic book film because after will Smith and Margot robbies focus not doing great in the box office it shows these stars aren't enough for this film.

More casting news is that as expected Jeremy Renner is going to be in captain America civil war as Hawkeye. Now I am happy about this because I really do think his character hasn't got the shine the actor deserves and he can really add something to this film that I am so excited for. But this brings up something that bugs me about comic book films these days, because they have announced this it takes away that unpredictability in Age of Ultron because I now know Hawkeye won't die. It is like in the first Avengers film when it looks like iron man is dead I knew he wasn't because they had finished making iron man 3 but I will say this will not ruin the film for me at all and I am happy bout the news.
