    Wonder if they'll have thanos reclaim that particular stone.

    The only think I can think might happen is
    Doctor Strange working some magic mojo to help Vision be alive/powerful without the mind stone.

    Doctor Strange's Eye of Agamotto has been confirmed to hold
    an Infinity Stone!

    That's a bit of a retcon. I hope that every time they hit something difficult to explain in context (such as magic ) they dont just shrug their shoulders and go "meh, cause infinity stones"

    Well making the tesseract (cosmic cube) and Vision's gem (solar jewel) into infinity stones is already along the same lines, so I don't think there's much harm. The existence of the stones themselves open the door to such magics existing in other forms too once the infinity stones story is over.

    The only damage it'll cause is possibly
    depowering Strange & Vision for much of Infinity Wars and how they work around that.

    Hang on!!

    Are we getting three Marvel movies in 2017; Guardians 2, Thor 3 and Spider-Man!?!? That's insane, I'm so excited!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    Yes we're getting 3 Marvel films next year, GoTG Vol 2 in May, Spider-Man in July, and Thor 3 in November..

    Though I'm sure Ireland will see those before the U.S as that's how it generally works, open worldwide before opening in the US.

    I will happily accept Dr Strange as a dud if these three live up to my expectations.

    I doubt it'll be a dud, but it's definitely going to be trippy, like Marty and the polaroids trippy..

    Potential Thor: Ragnarok spoilers
    While on Ragnarok, Thor and Hulk end up having to fight their way out in the arenas. The arenas are run by The Grandmaster who has a rather tough enforcer named Skurge (Karl Urban) who plays a big part in the plot of the film. While fighting in the arenas Thor runs into the beautiful Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) a fellow contestant. The two earn each other’s respect and plot a way off the planet. Somehow, Skurge turns to the light and helps them escape. How this all unfolds is still a mystery.

    Didn't know they'd already announced a Spidey sequel, that's cool. Safe enough bet that Doctor Strange 2 and Guardians 3 will be in 2020?

    Natalie Portman saying now she would like to return to the MCU.

    I'd like to see her return. She's a good and Jane Foster is a great character. I wonder if she's hoping she'll get a storyline like Jane's current arc...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,886 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    I'm a big fan of Portman and would be very happy for her to return.

    The fuss she caused would probably put Marvel off bringing her back in though.



    I'd have her back long before I'd have Hugo Weaving back.

    I was reading today that Marvel/Disney have made just over $8 billion in box office profit from the MCU so far that doesn't include DVD/BLU Ray, Digital sales and Licensing to streaming sites and TV stations monies.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,501 ✭✭✭✭Slydice


    I think the comics were going in the direction of involving Jane Foster a lot more so I'd say Marvel might be up for it.

    Her?

    I thought she (Natalie and Jane) was good in Thor... but Natalie completely phoned it in on Thor 2 while Jane was reduced to a damsel in distress / bait / love interest (perhaps why Natalie Portman looks like she phoned it in).

    For continuities sake, it'd be nice to have her back... but that's about it.

    Yeah I'd say she's just trying to casually minimise any fallout from the rumours of how/why she phoned it in on Thor 2 and didn't seem to want to fulfill her contract with a third movie. I doubt she'd actually return if offered the chance, maybe at most for a quick scene or two just to finish off her character.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,501 ✭✭✭✭Slydice

    maybe you don't mean implies

    maybe you mean "I don´t really see anything there that has her saying she hopes for a return, just a very politically correct answer.."

    The headline comes out and says it:
    Natalie Portman Would Be Happy To Come Back To The Marvel Cinematic Universe
    The rest of the article implies it's backing up the headline.

    The part where they are saying she implies comes from them linking up the quotes of Portman that they use:
    It is really an incredible thing to get to be part of.
    It is really challenging for me that and I don’t feel like I have gotten it yet.
    Yeah well hopefully one day I figure it out!

    It could well be a light news week. Yer man brought it up in the video and she just answered his question. Could be nothing, could be her seeing if anything comes back by way of comment from Disney/Marvel

    I think there were probably a few factors at play there. First one being a pretty crap director, obviously. Aside from that though, it was well known that Portman wasn't happy to be working on the film so it's likely enough that she was downsized as a precautionary measure, in case she did what she ended up doing and phoned it in.

    Portman in general is great though, as is the character so I'd be happy to see her make an effort in a more substantial version of her role. That said, I'm all about the Thor/Sif love connection so I'd also be happy to see that!

    Why is Marvel so fascinated with the Hulk film all of a sudden? :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,886 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    It really was the forgotten bast@rd child of the MCU so trying to bring it back into the fold for the over arc story maybe.

    In fairness, Dinklage being cast as Trask was confusing for the hardcore fans who do know the difference between a tall black guy and a short white guy :D

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,767 ✭✭✭Ben Gadot


    I hope it's an unexpected role for him, not really a fan of the some of the choices being mentioned already such as MODOK or Uatu.

    I'm a big fan of what Dinklage has done on GoT so I hope he's not wasted.


  • Registered Users Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    Gut feeling if Peter Dinklage does join the MCU, he'll be
    Pip The Troll
    who played an important part in the comics from which Infinity War is being adapted from.

    Just thinking after watching Thor I'd love to see Kenneth Branagh direct one of The Avengers films in the future.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,115 ✭✭✭✭Nervous Wreck


    I also watched Thor the other night (for the millionth time) and I still don't get how anyone could not love it. I also think it's one of the best closing scenes of any of them.

    "Can you see her?"
    "Yes.... she searches for you."
    *smile*
    *end*

    It makes me smile every time.

    Thor is criminally underrated in the MCU. It was by far the hardest of the Phase 1 films to get right and not only did they do it, but they did it with so much heart, humour and respect for the source material.

    The shot of Mjolnir and the lightning hitting Thor is still one of my favourite throughout all the MCU films.

    AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR
    will use a stand-in for Doctor Strange due to conflicting filming schedules that won’t let Benedict Cumberbatch appear in every scene he’s supposed to be in.

    http://heroichollywood.com/avengers-infinity-war-use-stand-in-doctor-strange/


    A bit crazy his contract let him film something else at the same time.

    It would be one thing if it was reshoots after filming wrapped but while they are making the film that I do find odd.
