I haven't even looked at the options for other characters, but we 100% should bring on ScarJo for Bobbi.
Edit: I also really want Johnny Depp and Neil Patrick Harris. Not because of How I Met Your Mother, but because of Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.

I'd love to see him alongside RDJ as well, but I'm concerned about that hard negotiation roll, though.
Isn't our character spec'd for negotiations? What's the point if we don't make use of it?Why's this guy so mad?

Wow, we got really luck in terms of rolls. I really feel like it might be best if we play it safe, just so that we don't entirely wreck what seems to be the start of a really good movie. We got the pick of the litter in regards to casting, and getting an amazing script is fucking awesome.
I do find the fact that we have Scarlett Johansson to be amusing as well. But I am inclined towards Emily Blunt or even Margot Robbie.
I really kind of want to get Margot Robbie, at least in some female role. Perhaps as the Wasp?
But yeah, 100% yes, I really want to see Johnny Depp with Robert Downey Junior. Now whose goat do we have to sacrifice to the RNG gods and demons to get him? It is a hard negotiation roll, but hopefully we don't lose anything if we roll.
Though I'd love to gets Mads, just for the pure fact that we got Hugh Dancy as well, albeit I don't think he's going to be in this film. If his character survives though, it might lead down to line to some interesting parallels in terms of shipping.
Shipping transcends all.

This is my dream team, I think. Of them I'm the least attached to Élodie Yung, but I think we've seen success in the past by hiring people who can actually do martial arts. If we can't get Depp for Vanko I'd be happy with Mickey Rourke.
I think of these the one I want most is Neil Patrick Harris as Hammer. Of course there are tons of great options, but I just really like him as an actor, and I think he could play a very fun villain.

Yeah, I think this plan is pretty optimal, but I don't quite get the networking for this actor specifically? Is there a specific character we want him for?
I feel like we really should focus on the production, and ensure it goes smoothly instead of getting involved with politics. But I understand your logic, and I am mildly curious about what is happening with Marvel. Any theories?

Can we get Angelina Joli for Madem Masque? She has the screen presence to hold her own as a foil for a hero, would work as both boss and assassin, and possibly we can see about having her seem like a romantic foil for Pepper early on.

Ok, on the casting rolls, the only issue I have is that we should decide in advance who our second pick for Vanko should be, yanno just in case that the hard negotiating roll fails.
As for Kunis as Masque, couldn't really tell you why. Something in the choice just speaks to me.
As for off-time picks, we should really invest some time in checking out the competition, and I believe we need to touch bases with Vaugh, before the shooting starts, since yanno, he went to the bat for us for Wonder Man.

If the negotiation roll goes bad will this be a "go for your second choice" or a "you've burned a lot of bridges" type situation? Because I don't think it's worth gambling good-will with our bosses for Depp as Vanko. He's a good actor, but he's far from essential.

In this case it depends on the the level of failure, but worst case Disney might be a bit peeved, perhaps enough to try and buy the characters you don't own, perhaps not.
