Johnny Storm to Battle Michael Cera in “Pilgrim”
Saturday, January 17th, 2009
Edgar Wright continues his string of casting for the action/comedy Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World. Chris Evans, often the best part of the two Fantastic Four movies and pretty badass in Sunshine, has been cast as Lucas Lee, one of the evil ex-boyfriends that Michael Cera’s Scott Pilgrim must destroy in order to win the hand of Ramona (Mary Elizabeth Winstead.)
In the comics, Lee was a doucebag skateboarder/movie star and I think Evans will be hysterical in the role. So far, every bit of casting has been spot on and I’m really looking forward to seeing how Wright does with actors that aren’t part of his usual crew. To be honest, the only guy I’m worried about is Cera. Will he play the Scott Pilgrim in the comics or will he re-format the role to fit his standard comedic style? Hopefully we’ll find out before 2009 is over.

Y The Last Man Vol. 5In this final Deluxe Edition hardcover collecting Y #49-60, Yorick and Agent 355 prepare for their ultimate quest to reunite the last man with his lost love, while the person, people or thing behind the disaster that wiped out half of humanity is revealed. Then, Yorick Brown's long journey through an Earth populated only by women comes to its dramatic, unexpected conclusion.
Why don’t they just announce the whole cast at once?
Because Edgar Wright is biding his time until he announces that I will be playing Young Neil
I really like Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
