Speaker: Hey, Stephanie. Hey, Melinda. What if we were answering our listener questions and one about the Marvel Cinematic Universe being cast as Pride and Prejudice characters became a podcast episode on its own in the middle of another podcast episode and we have to make it its own standalone episode?
Speaker: I have to say I'm very excited for the Infinity War arc of Pride and Prejudice.
Speaker: Hello and welcome to this episode of Jane Austen Remixed. The unexpected episode was said in the intro, Stephanie and I were recording a listener questions episode. One of our questions was about casting the Marvel Cinematic Universe characters as Pride and Prejudice characters. And Stephanie joked that we'll just talk for five minutes. We looked down at the clock and we'd been recording for over 50 minutes. Yeah. discussing the arcs and the individual characteristics of all of the people we cast in the MCU Pride and Prejudice. Yeah, we got really, really into it.
Speaker: I'm not surprised, but I also am surprised. Yeah, yeah. I thought it was going to be quick. I thought it was going to be this one, this one, this one, this one. And then we really swung for the fences and there was a lot of discussion and we hope you enjoy it.
Speaker: All right, so the next question that we have now, listeners, this is very specifically niche. Stephanie has a list already apparently, so this will be fun. but You guys have probably heard, due to the many Marvel references throughout the podcast so far, that both Stephanie and I are fans of at least the Infinity Saga of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I stopped watching after the Infinity Saga, I have to admit. I'm still loosely watching, just not necessarily on opening night like I used to all the time.
Speaker: But we'll see. So, yes, we are fans of Marvel. If you do not know Marvel, I apologize. This question is going to lose you a little bit, but skip the next five minutes. Five minutes? You really think we'll only talk for five minutes? Let's see. going cut it down to five.
Speaker: but but So the question is, you have to cast the Marvel Cinematic Universe characters. So if for anyone that doesn't know, that is people like Captain America, Black Panther, Thor, Agent Peggy Carter, who is one of our mutual favorites, all those sorts of characters, into Pride and Prejudice. Who's who?
Speaker: Now, Stephanie, you have thoughts already. so i do. I was thinking about this while I was putting my son to bed because why not? So very top line thoughts on this.
Speaker: I have a few options for Elizabeth. Okay. Top line thoughts. To me, the most obvious one for one is Steve Rogers, Captain America is Jane.
Speaker: Yes! Oh my goodness. I had a bad thing. So I had not closely thought about this question. I thought about it a little bit. I'm like, oh, Steve is Jane. yeah Yes. 100%. Absolutely. yeah Yeah. They're beautiful. They're sweet. They only see the best in everyone around them. Strong sense of justice. You know. Trying to do the right thing. Trying do the right thing at all times. Very kind. Sense of beauty.
Speaker: Mm-hmm. Great. Good. We're on the same board here. So then my next swing is that Nick Fury is Mr. Bennett. Oh, please explain.
Speaker: Semi-neglectful father. He is yeah the father figure. We do love him because he loves Lizzie. He has several deep and distinctive flaws.
Speaker: Let's not forget what he created in Captain America Winter Soldier. Yep. He left the door open for HYDRA by creating a worldwide surveillance system designed to kill criminals before they could act on their criminal desires.
Speaker: It tracked them, it tracked every person on the planet to see what their future path would be. And yeah then it was going to kill them. if they had maybe Googled one or two of the wrong things. So I really look forward to anyone, anyone who's ever written a book about murder being killed immediately because their Google history is sketchy.
Speaker: So yeah, semi-neglectful father with bad judgment, Nick Fury. Look, I wasn't sold when you started. I was really trying to figure out how this would work, but I am completely on board now. Also, Captain America Winter Soldier is still one of the best Marvel movies. It is the best.
Speaker: It's very close to my top. It is one that I will rewatch. I haven't in ages, but yes, i completely agree. it is very close to being the perfect action film.
Speaker: Yes, it's very good. It's well acted. It also has my favourite in it. I'm just, can I just say I'm so glad as a Captain America stan that Captain has found his way into this cast. So I'm stoked.
Speaker: ah I knew you'd be excited about that. He's still pretending he's not in it and all the memes. Why Captain America shaped if not Captain America? oh no, he's confirmed in it now. That came out months ago.
Speaker: i have not been paying attention. Okay, where do we go next? I'm going to super obscure on the next one. Okay. Then Okoye from Black Panther is Mary.
Speaker: Mary? Yeah, lawful good. Very fixated on the rules. Okoye is one of my favourite characters. Yes. It's a very nice reading of Mary. Mm-hmm.
Speaker: Less of her being a bit of a prat, but lawful good. Very fixated on the rules and what is right and what is proper and very willing to kill her own husband for the good of the country.
Speaker: It's Mary coded. Yeah. Okay. That's fair. I was trying to figure it out. Again, i had a little bit of a Mary. Yep. The lawful good thing makes sense. Yes. Yes. Okay, let's swing back into more familiar territory here. I am torn between Peggy Carter and Captain Marvel for Elizabeth.
Speaker: Oh, I was about to say my thought on Elizabeth was Peggy. I'm torn between the two because they are my two favourite female characters. They're quite similar personalities but also very different. So they are our obstinate headstrong girl, which is what Elizabeth is. so That makes sense.
Speaker: I'm there that. They're different time periods. Yes. I can, I see how they both fit different aspects of her personality. Peggy obviously being from back in the 40s and 50s, very much like fighting against that stratified personality.
Speaker: patriarchal society where she can't get a job which she's not taken seriously in her job because she's a woman. And that, to me, is a good translation of Elizabeth's struggles against the estate being entailed away and her being forced to get married.
Speaker: I mean, it would be similar with Captain Marvel as well in that she is trying to fight how her powers, because her powers were restricted by Jude Law, whose character name I've completely forgotten, but Jude Law in those movies. Yes.
Speaker: He does a great villain. I'm so glad that he now has just taken a bunch of villain roles because he does it so well. Yes. Yeah. So, and again, she's fighting, she's pushing back against patriarchal expectations of her when she like lands on earth in the 80s.
Speaker: You know? yeah Can I make a call here? Yes, do it. Which is going to sound weird given the context. But I think if we have Cap as Jane, Peggy as Elizabeth is a good call. Now, yes, Peggy and Cap, for anyone that doesn't know, those two are the love interest of the entire saga. So that is weird and I am aware I am making that call. And I'm not in this world. None of them have the same relationships that they do in the story.
Speaker: But Peggy and Cap get along so well. So I'm going to, yeah I'm using it as a, we need to create a sister bond here. and again, I'm aware of how weird this sounds, but if none of the story beats from the rest of the, I feel like if Peggy and Cap met as Jane and Elizabeth, they would get along very well, very quickly. So. Yes.
Speaker: Yes. I like it. Okay. We good? Okay. Yes. So next swing, black widow. Yeah. A Charlotte.
Speaker: oh Oh, okay. We're going as far as Charlotte because we didn't actually define the terms of the question. I'm all over the place here. These are just the ones I've thought about. Okay. She is very practical. She makes she's tactical decisions based on what, yep, look, I'm all for this.
Speaker: She makes decisions based on what is best, not necessarily on what is, not like I don't want to say morally correct, but, you know, she has a mission and she gets it done.
Speaker: Yes. And it isn't always the best outcome for people around her. Yes. But she's very practical about what needs to be done. removed from the emotional damage.
Speaker: Agreed. Of her decisions. I'm for that. Yeah. All right. On a roll. Okay. So Darcy is obviously a very difficult one and i think the coward's way out is to say Iron Man.
Speaker: Oh, see, I'm sitting here, I've written a list of characters and I'm putting names against things. I was about to suggest Tony Stark for Wickham. Oh. Oh, okay. I'm really interested to hear that.
Speaker: i was going with it because of his relationship to Pepper. Please explain. how Well, he's super arrogant and all over the place and womanizer.
Speaker: And then he fixes himself to become worthy her. That's true. then they get together. He becomes less arrogant.
Speaker: He becomes a team player. He swallows his pride. He learns by bonding with the rest of the Avengers that he is not an island. Yes. And he, you know, Rhodey is Bingley, obviously. Okay, yep.
Speaker: Because Rhodey's a sweetheart, you know. That's true. And he just sighs and just puts up with all of Tony's crap, right? Okay. And I think the non-coward's way out oh okay is the Winter Soldier.
Speaker: Huh? Okay. Also, so the internet is in love with Sebastian Stan. am love with Sebastian Stan. Oh, I'm too team cat. Specifically, I am in love with Sebastian Stan specifically as Bucky Barnes. In no other context.
Speaker: Okay. And you're using that as a, he was an assassin killing machine, so had, was rude. And is then fixing himself.
Speaker: He's fixing himself. He's doing the hard work to atone for his crimes. And Stephanie, you haven't watched it, but Falcon and the Winter Soldier, he is in therapy and is working through- I did watch it. Oh, you did watch. Okay. I wasn't if you'd watch that. He also becomes a congressman in Thunderbolts. See, he becomes super responsible. He takes responsibility for his actions and he steps into his proper place in society, which is caring about other people.
Speaker: Yep. Look, I don't necessarily think that's the cowards claim out, if I'm honest, but should I present to you my Iron Man as Wickham case? Yes. Yes. I really want to hear this because I also have thoughts on Wickham. I want to hear yours and I'm going to explain mine.
Speaker: I'm excited. Okay. This could be a whole episode. Really good. You said five minutes would be going 15. So it's actually quite similar to what you said for Darcy.
Speaker: So like he is the playboy billionaire to land, but he is the playboy. He creates Ultron. So he creates the shield for the world, which is very bad and does ruin the superhero's reputation because that leads into the Sokovia Accords and splits apart civil war and all of the superheroes have to fight against one another. so i I did not, and you are completely correct, that he does overall have a better arc where he does improve himself and does become the better person. yeah But yes, I at the beginning was like, well, I mean, he he is very selfish.
Speaker: yeah A lot of the actions he takes until really you're looking at Infinity War and Endgame where he starts becoming more of that team player, which, of course, anyone can change at any point and that's fine. But that that was where I was thinking is. I was thinking more to the beginning of his story arc.
Speaker: Yeah. I like it. Yeah. Yeah. I see your Iron Man and I raise you, Loki.
Speaker: Oh! Huh? Huh? Huh? The Artifice? His beautiful face. Oh, the image. Yes. The image is the prince.
Speaker: Yes. He's constantly tricking people and ruining their lives and tearing everything apart. And then just when you think he's redeemed himself, he stabs Thor in the back again, sometimes literally.
Speaker: Yeah. And he does end up getting better, but we can ignore that for now. He does get redeemed, but much, much later. Yes. Because every attempted redemption before, he rejects.
Speaker: Yes, because he's the villain in Thor where he banishes Thor. You think he's going to redeem himself and then he doesn't because he's the villain in Avengers and he is working for Thanos. Then you think he's going to be redeemed when he gets killed in Thor Dark World, but it wasn't him.
Speaker: It was him stealing someone else's body. He faked his death. And then take over Asgard. Yes. the foot The fame and the fortune and the ruling that he wanted through artifice and trickery.
Speaker: Okay. What I'm learning throughout this question is that Stephanie's really good at this. My encyclopedic knowledge of early MCU characters. I had another thought that has escaped. Oh, yes. Okay.
Speaker: I'm going hit you with another like left field controversial take here. Are you ready? Okay. Sure. Spider-Man? Yes.
Speaker: As Lydia. Okay. Oh, no, I was thinking a similar thing. Yes. Really, really overenthusiastic. The Mysterio thing. Yes. No, i I was sitting here thinking, I'm like, who what could we put in as Spider-Man?
Speaker: Yes, completely agree. Really enthusiastic. He does actually have a very strong sense of duty, which Lydia does not have, but he is also very easily swayed because he is so young.
Speaker: He's a child. Yeah. And he gets taken in by Mysterio. Jake Gyllenhaal in an incredible villain performance. um Incredible. But if Taylor Swift is to believed he was just be believed, he's just playing himself.
Speaker: Yeah. ah Let's not open up the all-too-well can of worms on the MCU part of the podcast. Okay, no, completely agree. Okay, I think I have another choice for this Olivia. This one No, no, no, not for Lydia. I think Lydia is spot on. I think having Spider-Man, the over-enthusiastic, would be very easily taken in by Loki, i think as well, if you kind of make that connection. Like Loki is kind of like Mysterio in some ways, so I think could be quite easily taken in.
Speaker: So Kitty, we don't know a ton about Kitty. She kind of goes along with what Spider-Man's doing. yeah I want to say Ms. Marvel, so Kamala Khan.
Speaker: Oh. I have not seen anything she's in. No. So now I want to be clear. Kamala Khan is probably the best part of the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Speaker: I love Iman Valani incredibly. I think the Ms. Marvel TV show was underwatched. She is the ultimate fangirl and is just so good in that role. i also think I wasn't a massive fan. like i feel like most of the world really hated the Marvels, that second Captain Marvel movie.
Speaker: There are some major plot issues with it, but the best part by a huge way of that film was kamala khan who is also a teenager so i'm like i'm thinking like if we have to match age wise here spider-man and kamala khan being besties and like going through life trying to do stuff kamala would follow anything spider-man said because he's spider-man yeah okay she has a sense of duty um she's an incredibly cool character so if you have not watched
Speaker: Ms. Marvel, the TV show. It is like a high school drama. So, you know, be prepared for that, but high school drama. And then i think that that might be a good match. I'm happy and open to other suggestions, but I feel like Kitty, Ms. Marvel, Kamala Khan could be a good pairing. I love it. I think that's great.
Speaker: My kitty was going to be much more surface level than that and mostly a joke. Right. Well, because, you know, kitty's the ignored sister that no one talks about. oh no. Yeah.
Speaker: Hawkeye. yeah like He is one of my favorite characters. I love Jeremy Renner. He plays an amazing part. He's one of my favorite characters. I know he's one of Melinda's favorite characters as well. He's great. He's amazing.
Speaker: But he was just almost entirely ignored for so much of the storyline. He didn't really know anything about him. and He was very mysterious. So that was sort of my my my stunt casting.
Speaker: ah But I think your reasoning works. It works so much better because there's no way Hawkeye is going along with some harebrained scheme that Peter Parker is coming up with. That's true, yeah. Because has his own version of Lydia, which is Kate What's-Her-Face from the TV show. Kate Bishop.
Speaker: Kate Bishop. Yeah. Oh, man, that is very funny. I i love this. I now have a bit of a wild swing here. yeah which Swing for the hedges. Let's go. Mrs. Bennett.
Speaker: Oh my God. Yes. Agent Phil Coulson. I've just stepped as her hands over her mouth in short. Oh, explain yourself. Cause I would have him as Mrs. Gardiner.
Speaker: Oh, I mean, okay. Are we going that far out? No. Like, are we going, are we starting, are we casting everyone here? so feel like i was just planning on casting the Bennett sisters. the parents and then Darcy and maybe Wish him. and We're slowly growing like the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's slowly growing to the point where it's bloated and we're casting everyone.
Speaker: ah Oh, you mean like the MCU in real life? Yes, I do. All right. Explain Phil Coulson. Okay. I love Phil Colson. He's amazing. He's amazing. ah Played to perfection by Clark Gregg.
Speaker: Yes. He is kind of the worried mother hen in a lot of the MCU when he turns up. So, you know, he's the one that is the fanboy for Captain America and brings them all together. He is also part of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which is an incredibly underrated TV show and part of the MCU. And Until it goes off the rails, but we don't talk about that last bit. We just, it was great. It was really good. I still enjoy the whole thing.
Speaker: Until it wasn't. I still love the whole thing. I will- Time travel and all. I will take it. But he is the worried mother hen. He does actually look out for his, I was going to say his girls, but like his Avengers. He wants them to do well. I just wonder if maybe there is a parallel there. I can be swayed if you have a better choice, but I was trying to think of a way to get Coulson in it because ah just like Coulson.
Speaker: Yes, I love Coulson. I think because he does actually really care. That he fits better as a Mrs. Gardner. Okay. because So we're now casting the Gardners as well, are we?
Speaker: Yeah. Not Mr. Gardner. He doesn't really do anything. Oh, we should do Mr. Collins. Yes. Oh, God. that's Actually, no, I've got a great one for Mr. Collins. Okay. All right. So Phil Coulson is... Mrs. Gardner.
Speaker: Or like put slash Mrs. Bennett because, you know, I can see both sides of that. I wanted to throw in Valentina from Florence Pugh.
Speaker: No, no, no. that's no no to no Julia Louis. Julia Louis julie louis yes Dreyfus. Yeah, yeah. a Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. I had to look up her name. Yes.
Speaker: Oh, yes. She does the caring, fake caring front. And I haven't seen Thunderballs, but I know her from a couple of the TV shows.
Speaker: Yes, she she enables the main villain in that show and tries to kill everyone and then adopts them all at the end. And basically, yep, no, it's it. She's got the fake caring but the incredibly manipulative and super fixated on one thing, which in this case is not marriage but her own skin. which is kind of why she's so fixated on marriage for the girls in the book because she's also getting turfed out into the gutter if the estate is entailed away.
Speaker: Yes. I like this. I like this. yeah Okay, great. Valentina ticked off. Okay, who's your pick for Mr. Collins? Okay, so replacement Captain America, Wyatt Russell.
Speaker: Oh, he's perfect. Because, like, on paper, he's ideal. The great American hero. Yes, And obviously haven't seen Thunderbolts, I assume. He gets redeemed. But in the in Falcon and the Winter Soldier, is awful. Yeah. he is awful He's in it for himself. Yeah, he's in it for himself. He's incredibly selfish. He's not very smart.
Speaker: And yeah he is entirely ruled by his chaotic emotions. Yep. Okay. Yeah. I'm down with this. You, I think his new name is U.S. agent. Yeah. It says that here. I've got the thunder. I had to pull the Thunderbolts cast up. Yep. Okay. So he's U.S. agent.
Speaker: Okay. Yeah. And then we can also like throw in as a, as a supplementary, again, possibly the coward's way out. A supplementary Mr. Bennett is, uh, Yelena and Black Widow's father.
Speaker: Alexi. Alexi, yeah. Yeah. I feel like Alexi is a lot more earnest than Mr. Bennett is. Although I did do that reel where i I did say did you did the Bennett family was Alexi. Yes, yes. Maybe the whole family together is Alexi. Maybe, yeah. Okay.
Speaker: All right. um What other book characters if we missed? So there are a few here that I, now that we've expanded out the world and made this a podcast episode on its own. Hi, everyone. hi I think the people we have left, we still haven't decided on a Darcy.
Speaker: We have not technically decided on a Bingley, though there was a huge there. We'll see it's Rhodey or it's Falcon, Anthony Mackie. Oh, yeah.
Speaker: I think Anthony Mackie is, he's a lot more upbeat. I think, than Rhodey is. It's true. but oh Oh, no, you know how the who the other option is? If we want, like, terminally positive, Ant-Man.
Speaker: Oh, yes. No, it's got to be Paul Rudd. It has to be Paul Rudd. It has to be Paul Rudd. It has to be. There's no other option. It has to be him, especially when he was just, like, so excited to be involved in Civil War.
Speaker: Yes. Everyone else having the worst day of their life and he was having a ball. Yep. It is absolutely Paul Rudd. Him and Peter Parker, because Peter Parker as Lydia would also be having a ball in that situation.
Speaker: Yes. Yep. I think we have to pick Ant-Man. I love the roadie pick. I also really liked my Falcon pick, but I think Ant-Man is the correct choice. Okay.
Speaker: So select Darcy Outstanding. Caroline Bingley. Oh, okay. i hadn't actually put Caroline down, but yes, Caroline. And we also have Georgiana if we're pulling out further.
Speaker: yep. Hot favourite. We have to include her. Georgiana has to be Kate Bishop. Yeah. Young, impressionable, she would also fall for Loki. Yeah.
Speaker: Really chirpy. Yeah, that's true. Quite talented but got no confidence. Yeah, no, I can see it.
Speaker: Yep. I was trying to figure out. i I hadn't actually thought of someone. I wasn't. There wasn't someone I've got in mind that I was trying to, like, put into. no I think you're right.
Speaker: Yep, okay. I think that's all it can be, I think. I can't think of anyone else. Side note, I'm sitting here trying to rack my brain and figure out if there is a way to get Charlie Cox slash Daredevil into this mix as a very big...
Speaker: Charlie Cox Stan. I want Yelena in here somewhere, but she just doesn't fit. So do I was trying to figure that out too. Because, I mean, she's kind of an Elizabeth as well. Like, I think we've got Peggy, we've got Captain Marvel, and we've got Yelena.
Speaker: And then, like, Scarlet Witch is the other one. Scarlet Witch. Wanda Maximoff. Yes, I love her. i was wondering. I have two options.
Speaker: For Caroline. Yes. One of them is Scarlet Witch. Yeah. Specifically for what happens in the second Doctor Strange. Yeah.
Speaker: yeah Yeah, I was trying to avoid that. I pretend that movie didn't happen. I really love to pretend that movie didn't happen because seriously, guys, seriously, is that the best we can do for the strongest character in the MCU? Oh, she went crazy because her children died?
Speaker: Really? Really? also heard that she did this incredible grief arc in WandaVision. Yes, WandaVision is incredible. Yeah, that quote still sticks with me. Grief is love persevering. Like, yes, grief is a journey. It is going to go up and down. There is, yeah you know...
Speaker: You have all this love and now you have nowhere to put it. Yes, and you can go backwards. So the fact that she went backwards isn't terrible, but the fact that she went backwards as far as what she did is what's terrible, I think.
Speaker: I refuse to believe that she would tear apart the lives of her children in a different universe for her own selfish gains. I just don't think it's realistic at all.
Speaker: Because you can't tell me that she like she was there to kill herself in front of her own children and step in and be their mother. I'm sorry. just the You're right. The incredible journey she went on during WandaVision, which is one of the most phenomenal pieces of the MCU. It's absolutely incredible. And then she's just this two-dimensional women be crazy.
Speaker: Yeah. That's not great here. I have to leave that one. My other option is Nebula. Okay. Explain. Specifically in the original Guardians of the Galaxy.
Speaker: Yes. She's incredibly jealous of Gamora. Yep. And she does absolutely everything she can to get rid of her. Okay, that's terrible. the same way Caroline yeah is trying to get rid of Lizzie. The only thing is she's trying to get their dad's attention, not get a love injurch Which is fine and i think I think we can't really put that into.
Speaker: So the other person that I've thought of while I'm scanning this massive list of MCU characters, I'm not sure you'll be convinced by this one and it's fine, but I'm really trying to get my daredevil representation in here. Elena Nachikos.
Speaker: Electra. Oh, I haven't got that far. Okay. She comes in in season two. She is very rich. She is bored and likes to play with people. Oh. She he does seduce Matt and we don't like him for it because it takes him away from Karen Page. And I'm not going to go down that rabbit hole right now. But she is in it for love. She is trying to manipulate and there is also then this weird supernatural side plot, which I'm not going to get into because that's where Daredevil starts losing me. But yeah, that's another option.
Speaker: That one sounds like a good one. My third option is Sharon Carter. Oh, I think we know enough about Sharon. I mean, she does sort of seemingly turn evil. Yeah.
Speaker: They're giving her a villain arc. Falcon and Winter Soldier. Yeah. Which continues in the background of Shang-Chi. Yes, it does. And she's doing a lot of manipulating of people and trying to play innocent and, you know, pushing everyone around. I think Elektra is a better option.
Speaker: I was really struggling with Caroline. None of mine are great. I think Nebula is probably the best fit. But I thought Sharon because also like she hooks up with Steve and then Steve leaves her for her great aunt. Yeah, that's, yeah. Look, it was one of the biggest misses of the MCU.
Speaker: Yeah, completely great. I'm happy enough to go with Nebula. i think I think Electra works, but I think there is, it's probably a little bit, might be a bit too obscure.
Speaker: I don't know. I'm going to put down Nebula. I think that's a good option. Or both of them. I'll put down both of them. Both works. I think we've come to the end of our casting list. Do you want to read it back? No, hang on. We don't have Darcy.
Speaker: Oh, yeah, we didn't settle on a Darcy. No. Is there anyone else? I don't know, You could also throw in Thor. Arrogant. Okay. Self-obsessed.
Speaker: Look, I think I'm more on board with Thor, honestly, than... Like Bucky works. The Winter a Soldier is a swing. I think actually now that about it, yeah, I think Thor works better. You know, very rich, very high class. Rude.
Speaker: Was raised in the right way by his mother but has become rude, arrogant, self-obsessed. Learns through his relationship with Natalie Portman that he needs to improve. Natalie Portman absolutely takes him down a peg or two. you know, he goes through the whole redemption arc where he has to like, he gets stripped down to his bare bones and he he falls apart. I think I'm here for it.
Speaker: here has a depressive phase and then he comes back. Yep, I'm here for it. And he proves himself as still worthy. i think i think that actually matches really well. I mean, yes, he's a blonde Darcy, but I think we can get past that and we can just focus on the character arc. I think we're good.
Speaker: Poor sister on Instagram, putting that reel up. Whoops. Anyway, kick the hornet's nest with that one. It's a great book. Okay, guys, here's the cast list. Okay. So I'm going to start with the Bennett family. We have Mr. Bennett, Nick Fury, Mrs. Bennett.
Speaker: I'm just saying Valentina because I'm not pronouncing her full name. Jane Bennett, Captain America, Steve Rogers, Elizabeth Bennett. Our first option was Peggy Carter, but we also have as very close runners up Captain Marvel and Yelena from Black Widow. Mary.
Speaker: We have Okoye from Black Panther. Kitty. We have Kamala Khan, Ms. Marvel as our main option. Runner up to Hawkeye if there was stunt casting. Lydia is Peter Parker or Spider-Man. 100%. Then we have Fitzwilliam Darcy's Thor.
Speaker: I love this. It's my favorite one so far. Yep. Runner up to Barnes. Georgiana Darcy, Kate Bishop. George Wickham, Loki. Charlotte Collins is Black Widow, so Natasha Romanoff.
Speaker: Mr. Collins, US agent, played by Wyatt Russell. Can't remember the character's name. Secondary Captain America. Mr. Bingley is Ant-Man with runner-ups from Brody and Falcon.
Speaker: Caroline Bingley is Nebula with a runner-up of Elena Natchikos. I think that is a pretty good cast, guys, if I do say so myself. I think it's pretty solid.
Speaker: Ooh, hang on. We missed one. Uh-oh. Who did we miss? Lady Catherine. Okay. Oh, no. All right. um We have to dig into some really, really obscure characters for this one.
Speaker: Oh, my God. No, I've got it. Yeah? Drax. Yeah, okay, that works. Specifically because he's like, I have every skill. I'm the best fighter.
Speaker: I'm the best at everything. Yes. Okay. Yep. I'm down. When I stand still, you can't see me. Yep. Why is Gamora? I would have been a great talent if I had only learned.
Speaker: Perfect. I can honestly hear him saying it. Yes. No, this is great. and With that, have fun, everyone. See you next episode.
Speaker: you
