Good call on Feige's part. That would've been a horrible way to introduce Carol. What we got was far superior.

Lou Ferrigno is disappointed in Hulk's portrayal in Avengers Endgame.

I'm not surprised. His Hulk (and the entirety of that series) is quite different from the comics versions. The Smart Hulk that we saw in Engame comes from a version that didn't even exist until years after the series ended. I don't begrudge him for that opinion because of those differences. Besides, as a life-long fan of that series, there's plenty of room for different versions of Hulk and his Hulk will always have a special place in my heart.

Hey, I remember when the release date for the Daredevil series was years away!
On a similar topic that we've discussed here:

I've never really been one to just go see a movie because of who is in it. If I like an actor I might give their movie's trailer a look, or something like that, but just liking the actor has never really been enough by itself to get me to go see a movie.
It sometimes works for me - I don't usually see romcoms, but the combination of Emilia Clarke, Henry Golding, Emma Thompson, and Michelle Yeoh convinced me to see Last Christmas, but I'm not going to watch Terminator: Genisys or Nanny McPhee just because one of them is in it.
I do it a lot more often with TV shows. It's easier there because it's cheaper than a movie, and I can drop out if I don't like the first episode.
Mark Ruffalo does not know yet if he will make an appearance in She Hulk for Disney plus, but he's open to the idea and soon will be having a meeting with Kevin Feige.

Chadwick Boseman, on the other hand, has no interest in appearing on Disney plus.

The entire article is built on a bs premise, imo. Movie Stars were dying out long before the mcu (and endless reboots) took over. I don't know exactly why people stopped caring about stars, but they did. The studios' reliance on ips is far more a reaction to that than a cause of it (because the one part of that premise that is true is that people can still be made to care about characters in the way they used to care about stars, so that's the last advantage the studios can muster).
Some interesting new information has come out of an interview with Sarah Finn, the main casting director for the MCU movie. Apparently quite a few of the actors first auditioned for roles other than the ones that they ended up getting.
Chris Pratt originally auditioned for Capt. America, Chadwick Boseman originally auditioned for Drax, and Lupita Nyong'o originally auditioned for Nebula.
Apparently Jeff Goldblum misspoke when he said Robert Downey jr. was returning to play Tony Stark.

While out promoting Jumanji: The Next Level, Jack Black was asked what Marvel character he'd want to play, and he said Kingpin or The Thing. Not so sure about Kingpin, but I could see him or at least hear his voice for The Thing.
I like Black as the voice of the Thing.
I really don't see that at all. I mean I've never been a big FF fan so it wouldn't bother me, but I don't see how Thing should ever be played by someone who doesn't have a deep or gravelly voice at all and also is most famous for his upbeat, quirky man-Child characters.
I don't think Michael Chiklis's voice is all that deep and gravelly -- it's in a pretty similar range to Jack Black's, IIRC.
And what an actor is most famous for is usually not a limit on what they're capable of.
I don't know, Black sounds a *lot* more high pitched to me than Chiklis, on average. And Chiklis is about the limit, imo.
Also it's not a limit on what he's capable of, but it is an indication. Especially since his career is pretty long at this point and still not very diversified.
