Well, they also have these mutants coming in who could totally job out the Avengers in the inevitable AvX film. Then after keeping the top stars dormant, you could return them to their former glory to pick up the pieces of the defeated Avengers.

I feel like this really misses the point then. James Bond is still the same character even if he's black. Not in the sense that you can imagine all the movies taking place canonically but that it doesn't matter. Link is literally not the same character canonically in every Zelda game...but really he is from a real world perspective. Spider-Man is Spider-Man whether it's Maguire or Garfield or a new guy. Well, this is the issue, here. Things like the James Bond movies are easily to differentiate from each other and you don't run into this problem so much. But the MCU movies are following a pretty specific storyline and time frame, so recasting the actor midstream makes that awkward. But like said, the MCU doesn't seem to be taking that approach. They seem to be going the direction of... Winter Soldier becomes Cap, War Machine or somebody takes over for IM, etc. Then they can recast down the road if they have to once the characters of Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, and so on have been away for awhile. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

Especially in the older Bond films there wasn't really that much carry over of stories or allies or villains from one actor to the next the way there would be with recasting the leading Avengers. --- User ID: 4002777 <cite>5tarscream posted [p:892783558] in Box Office...
