Vinnie Jones is the Juggernaut

For those of you who thought Vinnie Jones would make a bad Juggernaut, you were absolutely right. Unless you always envisioned Juggernaut catching a quick game of soccer before making his way to the local comic book convention. I mean that’s what menacing super villains do all the time, right? Watch soccer? It’s menacing!

    How do you spell steroids? Vinnie Jones. He looks like an electrical probe has been thrust into his ass. Look at those eyes.

  2. NewGuy

    They better use a crap-load of CGI…

    Juggernaut is supposed to be one of the largest and strongest villians on Marvel earth…

    I think I could take this guy with a can of Mace and a sharp #2 pencil…

    This website sucks.

  3. gogoboots

    wasnt he in that movie lock, stock and two smoking barrels? he was badass! yes this site sucks!

  4. billabong021

    wtf?

  5. HughJorganthethird

    Marvel earth? Gogoboots? Yeah it’s the site that sucks, not you. Just keep telling yourself that and everything will be okay.

  6. Drew

    He’s about a third the size of the comic book one.

  7. Jonboy in SF

    Geez, you’d think even a superhero would clip his chest and body hair!

    This whatever is not Juggernaut material. I am really not sure what this is. All I know is it is scary and ugly. And, it probably stinks.

    Comment #1 – You took the words right out of my mouth…

    ‘Roid Boy all the way…This guy looks like he has nothing else to do all day except to work out at Muscle Beach, pump cc’s, and take it in the ass…what a life!

    In response to comment #2 – LOVED what you said, “I think I could take this guy with a can of Mace and a sharp #2 pencil…”

    Hair is the devil. Rather than looking cool, he looks like a cheesey porn star. What has the world come to?

  11. Grphdesi23

    Who is this Juggernaut anyway?

  12. I wish I were gay so I could be more repulsed by this photo. But there’s only so much repulsion a straight man can muster.

    #12 – Juggernauts a villian from x-men comics.

  14. HollyJ

    I don’t know who Juggernaut is either, but he could be Juggernuts.

  15. There’s an infamous Juggernaut dub:

    But I don’t think Vinnie captures it quite right.

    How about that huge black guy from Friday? Zeus something?

  16. Binky

    Never heard of this guy – sorry
    But, by the way, you invaded Iraq…

    Im thinking he might look more impressive standing next to all the other actors.
    Especially considering majority of male actors are short as hell. Besides it is impossible to get someone that looks as big as Jugger.

    Not to mention his forearms are subhuman!
    Then again Ive never been a big Jugger fan so it doesnt matter much to me.

  18. rds0811

    a) I’m thinking most of that muscle is prosthetic/SFX/makeup (Whatever you’d like to call it). The forearms just look especially un-human

    b) There is actually a pretty cool helmet assembly that rounds out the costume a bit better (although the whole costume is far different from the comics)

    c) Maybe they will use some fancy camera tricks to make him look larger. (The same way they made the Hobbits look smaller in LOTR)

  19. hafaball

    Yeah, I’m guessing that’s some sort of body suit…the only problem is, IT’S NOT BIG ENOUGH! Plus, I don’t remember the Jug being to hairy..hehe

  20. rds0811

    Ahh yes, it IS in fact a full body suit:

    A lot of people are complaining that Vinnie isn’t bulky enough for the part…but I like Vinnie’s acting style and I think he can give Juggernaut a cool persona we just have to compromise on the size. Again, though I feel like they will probably use camera tricks and SFX to make him look bigger and give him the right presence on film.

  21. gogoboots

    hugh jorgan the third isnt a handle that sucks? come on gogoboots, isnt my real name, remember?…yes this site still sucks despite the fact my handle is what it is…

  22. DiamondStudded

    Who is this man??

  23. gogoboots

    actually the juggernaut for reals is way bigger than this…which is a real letdown for the third xmen movie…

  24. Child Prodigy

    hmmm – looks like he would be more at home in a german pawn – although he might also be more at home wearing the french maid outfit and getting spanked with a feather duster

  25. Child Prodigy

    porn I mean

  26. sqongo

    The reason he’s watching football is because he used to be a footballer!

  27. sqongo

    @Akapee,heard of prosthetics?

  28. TaiTai

    Never heard of a Vinnie Jones or a Juggernaut. Couldn’t be any further away from interesting.

  29. lastangelman

    Don’t know either, don’t care a whit, he’s a fag in a Halloween dress up who needs a serious body waxing. Now where’s my BJ, Pamela? Ah, that’s better …

    #13 -> LOL, best comment so far

  31. Lampro

    It’s a motion picture adaptation. Adaptation being the operative word. Of course it won’t or can’t be just like the comics. Sure CGI makes a lot of things possible but I think the less CGI the better (Case in point the latest batch of star wars movies). CGI can’t always make up for screen presence. And if anyone has watched alot any of Vinnie Jone’s movies you can’t deny that the man is a great presence on screen. He may not be the best actor but he’s leagues better then the guy they cast as Sabertooth. Chances are the Jugger character will end up just like Sabertooh and be a show piece and meatshield.

    Hey, if they can make Aussie Eric Bana (aka Hulk) look like he weighs 1,500 lbs., I’m not worried about this guy. I’m sure this is the “BEFORE” shot. Hopefully they’ll edit out the soccer.

  33. senin

    PLEASE this is just plain scary. Get that belly hair waxed – yuk!

  34. jugsgirl

    vinnie jones?

  35. Baroness

    Am I the only one strangely turned on by his raw caveman appeal? No? OK…

  36. He looks like a guy I saw in a SNUFF film one time…It was really hot, especially when the chick got stabbed in the…well, you know.

  37. rachie

    #33 Thank you. I needed to toss my cookies.

  38. Quit bitching, no one would have satisfied people.

    Oh wait, why didn’t we get the real Juggernaut to play himself. Afterall, he’s the only one who is 8ft tall and weighs in at around a ton. Give me break. I may go to the official web site to listen to bigger comic book nerds complain.

  39. Baroness

    A little over an hour later, and I’d still hit it.

    Or, let it hit me, maybe. Uh..

  40. Baroness

    Hey, Dominic Purcell called and he wants his two-foot wide face back:

  41. frangly

    I normally love me some chest hair on a guy. But here–not working. I keep worrying the hair’s going to get tangled in the the leather strappy thing and he’ll be all “ow ow OW” and that will totally blow his toughness cred.

  42. senin

    He looks like he should be strapped to Barbara Asher’s wheel. What’s up with the belly hair – yuk – wax it…

  43. Jayne

    [jumps up and down]

    This movie is gonna SUUUUUUUUCK!

    More than Superman?
    Can’t say :(

  44. stevie511

    Does anyone else think he’s one ugly mother-f*cker? Bring me a bucket.

  45. This guy was Sphinx in “Gone in 60 Seconds.”

    Anyways, this is no more disappointing than Sabretooth was in the original X-Men movie. Remember how scrawny that guy was? And the actor was some random unknown. I guess the X-Men series is simply incapable of doing the larger characters well. Good thing Apocalypse was never a villain.

    Is It Worng That This Pic Makes Me Want Him … After All I Am I Girl And He Is FUCKING HOT Just Not So Much In This Get Up …. But I Still Want Him ….
