Marvel Cinematic Universe general stuff

Love hearing The Pixes and seeing a building explode in the same theme the first rule of the * is don't talk about it, the second rule is don't talk about it

Blade delayed again

More chance of Snipes at this stage. Mahershala's Blade is the new Tatum's Gambit.

No Blade nearly cancelled Deadpool as he thought Wilson called him Retarded

Wonder Man has now peaked my interest with Ben Kingsley back as Trevor Slattery

The editing of that CA trailer is awful. Film might still be okay, but the trailer is basically just "stuff".

"Hey, this film has stuff in it"

I think I read her role has been cut down a bit and pretty much all references to her being Israeli have been removed.

Still going to be a car crash of a press tour for the film if she's there...

I dont think anyone would notice.

Apparently there are more reshoots for Captain America 4, ahead of its February 25 release. I'm only half joking when I say that this entire production and the final budget needs to be audited.

It sounds like RDJ and Tom Holland will be the leads of Doomsday from what I've read. Not much is known in terms of the full cast for that film yet.

In my opinion they had two pretty decent prospects in phase 4 and they mismanaged them both. Simu Liu as Shang Chi and Iman Vellani as Miss Marvel. They'd never get to Evans and RDJ level but they'd keep things ticking along.

I really like TWS. It's a proper thriller wrapped up in a Marvel movie. As intended. Redford was picked for a reason.

Civil War was great too. Interesting baddie motive, ramifications for future movies and perfect introduction of new characters (compare with the awkward introduction of that Riri character in Black Panther 2). I DO find the bit where they all line up and run at each other a bit silly and designed for the cool trailer shot. The fight is cool but just them running at each other looks silly (IMHO of course)

I really like Iron Man 3 also but that's because that's basically a Shane Black movie again wrapped up in a Marvel movie.

No matter how much RDJ they throw into the next phase, I don't think they will reach the same heights as the previous peaks. I think FF4 and X-Men, if don't right, will give a major boost and so will RDJ and Holland and, of course, ALL of them together. They will do well but not eye watering money like the previous highs. And with costs getting so crazy high (250,000,000 for that Red One thing???!!!), there will be a lot of pressure on them so, when they DO come out, the promotion is going to be obscene.

I didn't know the comics and will defer to more knowledgeable people but RDJ back does smack of desperation. Even the reaction at comic Con was a little underwhelming. Yes, they cheered and roared but they SHOULD have brought down the Internet with reaction views and memes etc.

Like I said, I didn't know the comics but I know there a potential interesting arc and certainly a better arc than Krang.... I mean, Kang.

I think the next two movies will need to be huge

Just need Johansson to return now, maybe Clark Gregg and Hiddleston aswell.

I'm more mixed on Evans coming back than RDJ.

At least with RDJ, he's playing a different character (or at least a different version of the same base character, likely some sort of alternate universe where Tony grew up as Victor Von Doom). That to me is interesting.

Whereas if they're just bringing Evans back to be Steve Rogers again, I think Sam will never truly have a chance to be seen as Captain America as he'll still be in Steve's shadow and it kind of damages Steve's ending of giving up the fight to have the kind of live worth living. Plus we know he survives it because he then returns to the original timeline as an old man.

Maybe they are going to do something new and different with him that'll make it worth it, but on the face of it this just seems lazy compared to what they're doing with RDJ.
