I also thought of someone else, but the role is so minor it doesn't have an effect, in Batman Begins and TDK commissioner Loeb is played by Colin McFarlane

Okay so we have a couple of things today! (well this week my work web was off )

X-Men: Days of Future Past trailer revealed!



Aaron Taylor-Johnson cast as Quicksilver in Avengers sequel!

For the past few months it's been all but official that Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kick-Ass 2, Godzilla) has been lined up to join Earth's Mightiest Heroes in the role of Quicksilver, and now it finally is official...

The Wrap is reporting that Taylor-Johnson has finally closed a deal with Marvel Studios to portray Quicksilver in Joss Whedon's eagerly-anticipated 2015 sequel The Avengers: Age of Ultron. The actor will join Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Chris Evans (Captain America), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Scarlett Johannson (Black Widow), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), Mark Ruffalo (The Incredible Hulk), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury) and James Spader (Ultron) in the cast, while it's also expected that his Godzilla co-star Elizabeth Olsen will play Quicksilver's sister Scarlet Witch.

Now Evan Peters was cast to play the role in X-Men: Days of Future past, Peters who co-starred with Taylor-Johnson in Kick-Ass!

Funny how these things work out!

Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury in the Avengers and other Marvel movies[/b]

Actually, with the Ultimate Marvel Reboot, Nick Fury was changed to a black man, modeled on Sam Jackson. So really, it's a black man playing a black character.
