US release is Friday May 6th, but I bet there’s screenings on the 4th and 5th.

UK release is on the 5th, so I can see them doing earlier screenings to fight spoilers leaking out.

According to early reviews Morbius is, shockingly, bad. But what intrigues me is that the post-credits scene is being described as a spectacular low point https://twitter.com/RenGeekness/status/1507105748198871056?s=20&t=7Kycs8obCcplxIb724fzdw https://twitter.com/sab_astley/status/1507100066036727809?s=20&t=pI2_u9BZ6VGcxRedMZJf2g

I'd like to see more Keaton Vulture but IDGAF about Morbius and can take or leave Jared Leto so this one was already a hard pass for me. Keaton and Hardy together is something I could interested in though.

Morbius criticism is gonna be the easy dunk target for all these "professional" writers. No one expects anything from it so they are just gonna get easy burns in and honestly, it's lazy. I don't give a poo poo about the movie and will just watch it when it's online so not defending it's honor but there's gonna be some people clamoring to get the best dunk in for clout.

It sounds to me kind of like the last scene (don't remember if it's post credit) in Green Lantern where Sinestro turns evil for no reason

I mean I get it, even if it is terrible (which it definitely looks to be) there's a difference between actual crit about why and it just being dunked on ASAP. I understand if someone's frustrated about the latter basically taking over.

Film criticism probably died when Harry knowles took over idk. I’ve only known nerdy rear end critics and they’ve always been snarky and lovely and frequently get out of breath when they talk about how much they hate something. And a lot of them turn out to be pests of some kind

I just hope this ends the trend of actors talking about how scared they were that they were inhabiting the character too much and couldn't tell what was real anymore! Leto is the biggest offender, but Paul Dano talking about how he needed multiple days to "cool down" from being in the mind of The Riddler and it got so real that it scared him. Everyone wants to rip off poor Heath.

“There were some nights around that I probably didn’t sleep as well as I would’ve wanted to just because it was a little hard to come down from this character,” Dano said. “It takes a lot of energy to get there. And so you almost have to sustain it once you’re there because going up and down is kind of hard.” The transformation into the Riddler also added to Dano’s physical restlessness, after the star suggested covering himself in plastic wrap since the criminal mastermind would go to extreme measures to not leave DNA at a crime scene. “My head was just throbbing with heat,” Dano said of taking off the Riddler costume. “I went home that night, after the first full day in that, and I almost couldn’t sleep because I was scared of what was happening to my head. It was like compressed from the sweat and the heat and the lack of oxygen. It was a crazy feeling.” Lmao. He was just amped up and super hot in the costume

And so you almost have to sustain it once you're there because going up and down is kind of hard." quote:"Paul is really a chameleon," says the Cloverfield director. "He's brilliant in so much. But I think you see him going through a very internal tortured experience in his characters. You can see him really in an active way, having this kind of psychological turmoil that I find is really compelling." Leon Trotsky 2012 fucked around with this message at 18:52 on Mar 25, 2022 |

Lol we posted the same quotes. He didn’t say the character kept him up. He said he had a hard time sleeping due to the energy of it. Which is like…not that insane.

If someone asks you to act like an insane man for 8 hours a day or however long a shooting schedule is then it’s understandably a pretty tiring thing to do. It doesn’t somehow warp your brain into sending your costars used condoms or rats or whatever, that’s a whole different method thing. Ror fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Mar 25, 2022 |

Talking about how "the research was so scary that I couldn't keep it by my bed," Reeves saying he could see Dano going through real psychological trauma by embodying the character, talking about losing sleep because of how sadistic and energetic the character was, and mentioning how he had real serial killer ideas to add to the character are all pretty standard parts of the weird trend of "actor got so into the role that it was scary!" marketing.

“Those books I read were terrifying” - normal opinion for most people who aren’t into true crime “The role required a lot of energy and the come down of doing it all day made it hard to sleep” very normal “The mask made it super hot and uncomfortable and I was worried what it was doing to me” - also normal Lmao

Like, normal rear end people with desk jobs sometimes get stressed and don't sleep well which as the most extreme thing he said. It's not like he was locking himself in the shed for days at a time to "fully embody the character" without getting the urge to kill his family, he was just like "yeah after pretending to be a serial killer for 10 hours a day all week it started to wear on me". Also, wrapping yourself in saran wrap sounds like a dare a bunch of 17 year olds would almost die doing, so talking about how hard that was seems appropriate in an interview.

Pablo Schreiber confirms he had preliminary talks with Marvel to play Wolverine in the MCU X-Men. But, he also says it was a while ago and that they "flirted with it," but never did anything concrete. So, he will probably not actually be Wolverine, but Marvel is apparently looking for a "Pablo Schreiber type" to play Wolverine. https://twitter.com/RealScreenGeek/status/1507393372780171265

it's hard for me to imagine any live action casting for Wolverine that doesn't feel like a weird Great Value version of Jackman's. guys owned that character across full franchise reboots, full recastings, time jumps since before Tobey suited up, before superhero movies were even a thing. to me him and that role are even more inseparable than RDJ and Iron Man just make him a different guy/girl. do x-23 or whoever. it's way too soon to send somebody else out there and call them Logan

Why would he have to be a major player in the grand scheme of things to come? The X-Men toys are gonna get smashed together with the rest of the Marvel toys, it's not like there would even be any space for Wolverine even if Jackman came back. What would he do, remark how Captain America looks well for his age before hacking away at his shield?
