Ughhhh...for real?

Why? Can someone shed some light on this "Leaper" character? Is he french with broken english?

Gamefan124067d ago

quick look online

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

"Georges Batroc was born in Marseille, France, and served in the French Foreign Legion. He is a French costumed mercenary who specializes in savate (also known as "La Boxe Française"), a form of kickboxing"

PeaSFor4067d ago

look like you are clueless about the character.

TheHergulaX4067d ago

As a casual MMA fan, I like GSP, he has charisma and great attitude, yet can he act? not sure.

grifter0244067d ago

Might not need him to act per-se look at Kung Lee in Iron Fists..was there mostly for show and fighting.

Same can be for GSP...just show his face for the MMA fans and have him whoop some butt and they will be happy and the story can continue without having so much emphasis on him.

Crazay4067d ago

I get what you're saying but then what's the point of even introducing him in the first place if he's really more of a cameo type appearance.

Sahil4066d ago

GSP will lay on Captain America for 2 hours ;P

TheHergulaX4066d ago

Thats true and I agree. He would be perfect for fight-scenes as he has some really nice moves that would look perfect on film.

Sahil4066d ago

I've heard a lot of people complaining about why marvel is hiring WWE/UFC fighters is cause actors aren't in shape and are to scared to do their own stunts.

UFC/WWE fighters are probably some of the most fit people in the world.

JimmyDanger4066d ago

If anyone here has actually read Ed Brubakers entire Cap "winter soldier" death/rebirth run, you'd be pretty familiar with Batroc.

Baka-akaB4066d ago (Edited 4066d ago )

Yeah however ridiculous he sounds and look , Batroc is actually an awesome fighter . And he'll probably look less silly in movie

StarWarsFan4066d ago

Definitely an out-of-the-box decision.

aDDicteD4065d ago

GSP is my favorite mma fighter seeing him in a film would be great, the first captain america film was ok but it wasnt entertaining enough if you compared it to its marvel counterparts like iron man, thor and incredible hulk, i hope this sequel is making necessary steps to make this film both entertaining and solid plotwise.
