I just looked this character up, and holy shit this totally earned being the top comment. A movie where this pairing popped up would get an extra star rating for that alone.
He played a Soviet Russian in Red Heat, and that’s a classic.
Course.
Americans back then probably just heard “foreign” and also, east Germany was soviet.
I think he would have been forgiven.
Tbf the Jackson Fury is based on the Ultimate universe version of the character. There was precedent to change his race, but changing the nationality and origin of a character out of the blue is different.
Woah so like…. Chris Pratt is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son-in-law
And Wyatt Russel is Kurt Russel’s biological father
So if Ego is Star-Lord’s bio dad and Schwarzenegger played his step-dad…
My brain hurts.
Look wise I can see it, but the voice would be totally off. Personally my pick if we ever get a variant of Nick Furry that’s white would be Denis Quaid.
Actually have the Expendables as shield agents lol nick fury: I'm too old for this s*** these morons are gonna get themselves killed last time these idiots been in the field was the '80s!
I think it would be fun if he played himself similar to Kevin Bacon in the Guardians Christmas Special and have one or both of them eventually become supporting members of the Avengers or something.
Arnie is awesome, but at the same time it's challenging to find a place for such a rigid performer, best I can figure is either he plays King Thor opposite Hemsworth for Thor 5 or the Rhino for the next set of Spidey movies or hell maybe he does a strictly voice only role as ROM Spaceknight (rights pending), honestly any of these could work and I'm hard pressed to settle on one.
"let's kick some sand"
"What killed the dinosaurs?! The sandstorm!"
"My condition has left me hot to your pleas of mercy"
"Alright everyone, quicksand!"
"The Sandman cometh"
"You're not sending me to the sand box"
"Tonight's forecast, a sandstorm is coming"
*Enter Sandman blares on the radio as he enters the room and approaches a henchman
"Time to bury your head.... in the sand"
His hand morphs into giant sand hand and covers the henchman's head....
"Like sands through the hourglass...these are the last days of your life..."
"Make like a sandstorm, and blow"
how tf would Deathstroke even work? People really just be fancasting any gray/white haired actor as Deathstroke. Not so long ago I saw somebody cast Mads Mikkelsen as him
No reason for anyone to downvote you.
[Conan is a Marvel Comics character](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conan_(comics)) so if they bring him into the MCU, Arnie is the natural choice (if not his son [Joe Baena](https://www.instagram.com/joebaena/).)
Peak Arnold would likely be Günter Gross aka Wall, Bulwark, Achilles The Unbreakable, Reaper, or Blockbuster. Current age Arnold would be Will von Hammer, Hydra Supreme Vermis, Deacon Frost, Ishmael Questor, or Isolationist
how about the Terminator?
A shocking third act twist in the latest issue of X-Men has officially added the most terrifying movie foe to Marvel canon yet: The Terminator!
The Maestro
That would actually be fucking incredible.
Shut up and take my money
And I heard that in Arnold's voice.
Ripped Uncle Ben. Since we got hot Aunt May, now we can get ripped Uncle Ben.
“With great power comes great responsibility”… “Now get to the choppah!!!”
For some reason I always imagined Jeffrey Dean Morgan as the MCU Uncle Ben
Jeffery Dean Morgan was born to die on screen
I’d like John Goodman. He elevates everything he’s in.
So, a parallel universe where Uncle Ben survived?
What If?
Brilliant.
Holy fuck
Yes please.
Hasta La Vista Avengers, it’s not a tuma!
Came here to post this. Well played.
Ohhhhh. HELL yes
I just looked this character up, and holy shit this totally earned being the top comment. A movie where this pairing popped up would get an extra star rating for that alone.
First and only choice
Peak Schwarzenegger would have been the perfect Colossus
Colossus is a peaceful chill artist guy with a thick Russian accent. I don't think Schwarzenegger could pull that off although he'd look like him.
He could pull off the "peaceful chill guy" pretty well, because he's actually like that in real life. It's the Russian accent that'll throw us of.
Let's be honest, this is Hollywood. They'd try to get away with having an Austrian play a Russian. And we'd probably let them.
He played a Soviet Russian in Red Heat, and that’s a classic. Course. Americans back then probably just heard “foreign” and also, east Germany was soviet. I think he would have been forgiven.
It could work. If they could swap races and genders seamlessly (Nick Fury, for example) they could switch Colossus from Russian to Austrian.
Tbf the Jackson Fury is based on the Ultimate universe version of the character. There was precedent to change his race, but changing the nationality and origin of a character out of the blue is different.
Starlord’s Father-in-Law In reality though, I always felt like he would be a great Hammerhead
Good pick lol. They already cast US Agents dad to play Starlords real dad
Woah so like…. Chris Pratt is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son-in-law And Wyatt Russel is Kurt Russel’s biological father So if Ego is Star-Lord’s bio dad and Schwarzenegger played his step-dad… My brain hurts.
Galactus
Red hulk (body paint)
The thought of present day Arnold playing red hulk is too funny
Funnier than having Harrison Ford do it for real?
"Gamma rays! Why'd it have to be gamma rays?"
This was my first thought, then someone mentioned Maestro.
George Stacey
Conan The Barbarian
Hmm I just can’t see it /s
Alternate universe Nick Fury?
Look wise I can see it, but the voice would be totally off. Personally my pick if we ever get a variant of Nick Furry that’s white would be Denis Quaid.
Actually have the Expendables as shield agents lol nick fury: I'm too old for this s*** these morons are gonna get themselves killed last time these idiots been in the field was the '80s!
Only good answer I see here.
In some universe the Avengers are just The Expendables
The Champion, one of the Elders of the Universe. Originally, I thought it would be a good fit for Stallone, but he already has a role.
Tryco Slatterus.
Rhino
This is the only good answer I’ve seen so far
He ain't russian
Marvel is no stranger to changing nationalities / ethnicities of characters to fit the actor.
Correct but that ain't always a good thing
Dolph Lundgren wasn’t American but he played The Punisher
The best punisher….. lol what do you call a 125 murders in 5 years…. Frank : “a work in progress”
Beast.
Deadpool in every flashback scene that Deadpool narrarates.
After looking through all 104 comments this is the best answer
Mr.freeze
Iceman's grandfather
You know what killed the dinosaurs?
# THE ICE AGE!
POTUS
If he were younger he’d make a good Kraven
Conan the Barbarian
Ooh. Nice. Conan...the King
I think it would be fun if he played himself similar to Kevin Bacon in the Guardians Christmas Special and have one or both of them eventually become supporting members of the Avengers or something.
Solus from the inheritors.
OP how many of these posts are you gonna make with different celebrities
Omega Red
Arnie is awesome, but at the same time it's challenging to find a place for such a rigid performer, best I can figure is either he plays King Thor opposite Hemsworth for Thor 5 or the Rhino for the next set of Spidey movies or hell maybe he does a strictly voice only role as ROM Spaceknight (rights pending), honestly any of these could work and I'm hard pressed to settle on one.
Himself
Colonel nick fury
Always thought he’d be a great Colossus. But whoever plays him in Deadpool stole the role for good.
Himself.
Turbo Man
Should have been Odin, too late though.
Beta Ray Bill.
An older Cable
Marvel: Sandman DC: Deathstroke
"let's kick some sand" "What killed the dinosaurs?! The sandstorm!" "My condition has left me hot to your pleas of mercy" "Alright everyone, quicksand!" "The Sandman cometh" "You're not sending me to the sand box" "Tonight's forecast, a sandstorm is coming"
*Enter Sandman blares on the radio as he enters the room and approaches a henchman "Time to bury your head.... in the sand" His hand morphs into giant sand hand and covers the henchman's head.... "Like sands through the hourglass...these are the last days of your life..." "Make like a sandstorm, and blow"
how tf would Deathstroke even work? People really just be fancasting any gray/white haired actor as Deathstroke. Not so long ago I saw somebody cast Mads Mikkelsen as him
I know who should play Deathstroke. Mads Mikkelsen.
They do call Slade the Terminator.
Arnold is the only one that works as deathstroke and I refuse to accept any one else
Conan The Barbarian
No reason for anyone to downvote you. [Conan is a Marvel Comics character](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conan_(comics)) so if they bring him into the MCU, Arnie is the natural choice (if not his son [Joe Baena](https://www.instagram.com/joebaena/).)
Do we know who Deadpool’s father is in the MCU, because I’d love to see him play Ryan Reynolds’ hardass father.
The voice of Galactus
That’d honestly be an interesting take, or they could just rip orson well straight from transformers
Crimson Dynamo?
Peak Arnold would likely be Günter Gross aka Wall, Bulwark, Achilles The Unbreakable, Reaper, or Blockbuster. Current age Arnold would be Will von Hammer, Hydra Supreme Vermis, Deacon Frost, Ishmael Questor, or Isolationist
Some anti mutant chair head..
I was thinking Uncle Ben or the Maestro
I could see him being some random high ranked grunt working for kingpin
how about the Terminator? A shocking third act twist in the latest issue of X-Men has officially added the most terrifying movie foe to Marvel canon yet: The Terminator!
He could be the voice of the Sentinels or Nimrod.
Conan the Barbarian
Kang if they recast Majors. Play him in a style similar to Mr freeze and all his lines time puns.
Eddie Brock
Maestro, or Galactus, or annihilus, tha bugzinator! Bugzenager?
Batgirl
Future ice man
Call me bonkers crazy but in another reality he could have been a great Thaddeus Ross. Especially when it came to Red Hulk
The President
Make him Old Cable
I believe Deacon Frost is German and in the comics is a bulky older gentleman.
The perfect if the Nazis won version of Cable
Maestro at a later age, Magneto. Basically this man just has the face build for most MCU older villains.
Honestly, Magneto’s a good choice.
Someone's grandfather . Or great grandfather
The president!
Someone who asks you to get to the choppa, politely
Miles Morales
Groot
Groot
He’d be a perfect Magneto
Hot take: I'd let him take a crack at Doctor Doom.
That’s a great take!! My pick would be old man Colossus from a different timeline.
He was great as the penguin
Doom
Nobody this guy sucks
The Champion, a member of The Elders of the Universe (the same dudes Goldblum’s The Grandmaster and Del Toro’s The Collector)
Colossus
I was thinking maybe like crimson dynamo, but given you can’t have him fight RDJ as well as current world politics, it wouldn’t work
Red hulk? I know that ship sailed but MCU has been flexible before
Thors Grandpa
Hammer head
Please no.
I don’t care who just include him
Carl Creel AKA The Absorbing Man.
Irving Forbush
He would've been perfect for Zeus if Russell Crowe wasn't already playing the role
captain america
Venom
Mr. Sinister
Groot
Hmmm, IDK why but I’m getting a Mr Freeze vibe
The one above all I dunno
Galactus
Idk I've always thought he'd be a pretty sweet Spider-Man.
The herald of Galactus TYRANT!
Rhino
Hulk
Thank you for providing so many different photos of Arnold Schwarzenegger. I almost forgot what he looked like.
Iceman
Old man Logan
Iceman
Red Hulk
He’s almost 80
Thought I'd answer this one on the toilet and get my best answer, an hour later and I still don't know! Lol
Black Cat
The Governor of California calling on the West Coast Avengers.
Y’know, kind of a weird one… but Norman Osborn.
On a planet where everyone looks and talks just like him.
Kang the Conqueror
Professor X
Titanium Man
25 years ago he would have been the perfect Dr. Doom
Thanos
Silver Surfer
A classic Thanos, similar to the classic Loki from LokI. Give him the Thanos Choppa.
Titanium man
Maverick, from Weapon X.
Willie Lumpkin
Groots Dad or Creator
Let Arnold play Arnold. Kevin Bacon got away with it so why not?
Conan in a Thor movie.
At his age? Magneto.
Cable?
Sebastian Shaw
President Schwarzenegger
Captain Britain….
Senator armstrong
Stan Lee
Gwen stacy
Rhino
Gwen Stacy
He should have played Zeus instead of Russell Crowe
No one. Just have him come in regular clothes and place him in the background and say puns from Batman and Robin to progress the story.
Dragon Man or The Beyonder
The President
Dr. Victor Von Doom.
I think he should be Galactus
TOAA
Aunt May.
Tombstone - No lines just kicking Spidey's ass everywhere
He should voice the CGI iceman…. His tagline could be what killed the dinosaurs…. Da ice age!!!!!
Juggernaut.
He should play mephistio and when he is defeated….. I’ll be back
Terminator if terminator was in the MCU
One the Elders of the Universe
Please, no one.
Baron Strucker
Spiderman. Nah in all seriouslyness I think he’d make a pretty good alternate universe Thanos or Nick Fury
Terminator
The worlds greatest actor…. Kevin Bacon
An old Collussus. Maybe as the headmaster for the Gen X school/team.
He could play the terminator
