This is a weird choice on the surface given Marvel Studios’ previous lack of interest in what have traditionally been street-level characters in the comics, but I guess it might make sense if they want to push it as another “prestige” superhero franchise a la Black Panther, as the article suggests. https://twitter.com/deadline/status/1069645211716861954?s=21

Sgt. Politeness posted:I'll be stoked if they go full Shaw Bros but it seems martial arts as a genre lends itself to personal stories(low stakes by Marvel's standards) more than super heroics. It's gonna be a tough sell that Kung Fu is the only answer to whatever threat the plot sets up unless it involves some kind of undercover triad angle or it's.... wait for it.... tbh I have a feeling that they’ll play up the mystical elements with not-Fu Manchu and that this will be something of an ersatz Iron Fist movie

BrianWilly posted:I'm still not totally sold on Larson as Carol. The backstory they're establishing for this character seems really involved and interesting, but she's not giving much more than bare surface presentation, here. Either she’s giving a pretty flat and lifeless performance or they’re choosing the wrong scenes here.

Current Twitter scuttlebutt is that the Avengers 4 trailer is finally, for real dropping Friday morning, and Far From Home on Saturday. Not official, so grain of salt, etc.

New Shazam poster, but curiously, there will apparently not be a new trailer in time for Aquaman. Those FX shots must be taking a while to get into what WB deems a presentable state. https://www.instagram.com/p/BrDcSEYl2tJ/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=1iylljepemjjm https://twitter.com/zacharylevi/status/1070727357244141568?s=21

Rumor is that the first Far From Home trailer is coming tomorrow, too. obviously, the marketing for that film will scrupulously avoid anything that even hints at A4’s events (aside from the one unavoidable exception, of course), but it would be kinda hilarious if whoever was editing the trailer accidentally left in, say, a TV displaying “WORLD MOURNS STARK, ROGERS” in the background of one shot

Wheat Loaf posted:To be completely fair, it is, and it's really a question of whether you think that's a good thing or a bad thing. it’s really just the Adam West show filtered through a Tim Burton prism. It’s only “darker” insofar as there’s literally less light and characters actually die the sequel did what ‘89 tried to do a lot better, IMO, possibly due to Burton having more creative freedom

the first one was a pretty pedestrian origin story, but the sequel is bound to have a better script now that that’s out of the way, right? https://twitter.com/borys_kit/status/1072617382265454593?s=21

Aquaman wasn’t bad or anything but good lord was it overstuffed in multiple respects. Far too much plot and worldbuilding for one movie, and the sheer volume of conspicuous CG thrown at the screen in scene after scene, even by superhero movie standards, rapidly becomes exhausting.

Clearly nobody wanted the cool, comics accurate ones they wore for all of 5 seconds in apocalypse I like the Quitely uniforms, but yeah, it's ridiculous that they finally got costumes that did a decent job of evoking the classic designs and then did away with them after they were on screen for a few seconds

completely unexpected, but absolutely the right move but it’s pretty funny to think that, as a result of the firing and SS2 and the consequent delays into late 2022 or 2023, it’s entirely possible that we’ll get a Marvel Studios Fantastic Four or X-Men film before GotG3

Lurdiak posted:I seriously don't understand why both the movies are doing the phoenix as a repressed personality that Xavier hid. Whatever they're trying to say with it, it just comes across like "actually Jean was always a horrible monster and Xavier just made up the person you like". from what I understand of Dark Phoenix's plot, they're trying to have it both ways, in that the Phoenix is an alien force but also somehow a component of Jean's personality, idk

Dan Didio posted:The only leaked shows that haven’t been confirmed are Sif which was meant to have Beta Ray Bill, War Machine and Hawkeye at this point. The Hawkeye show has been confirmed by all the major Hollywood trades; don't lump it in with the other two The Sif one is particularly laughable - it's from a no-name fansite and it's a character who hasn't appeared in a film in well over a half-decade; you seriously think they're going to spend Marvel Studios money on her? I actually hadn't heard of the War Machine rumor until the other day, but it looks like it's only from a few fansites, so I wouldn't believe it either, though it's at least more plausible.

teagone posted:Disney is not stopping. They have an entire slate of movies coming out, starting with Far From Home, all the way through 2022 — schedule subject to change: the July 2020 one was pulled from Disney’s schedule last year, likely due to Gunn’s now-reversed firing from GOTG3. there’s a slim chance something could be fast-tracked, I guess, but most likely it’s just Black Widow in May and Eternals in November of next year

Really enjoyed it, though I wasn't blown away by it upon first viewing like I was with Infinity War, and I don't think that's just because I had seen more spoilers for Endgame beforehand. Second act kinda drags and the key emotional beats in that part of the film didn't quite land for me; the first and third acts are pretty great, though

I wonder if Endgame will hold up as well on a rewatch as Infinity War does. I have a feeling it won't, since my gut feeling after a first viewing is that it's a lot messier in its pacing, plotting, and (in some spots) characterization than IW, but I'll see.

Cythereal posted:The Marvel execs also said this is specifically why Spider-Man is the next after Endgame: a smaller-scale hero with lower stakes and a more down to earth storyline. By the sounds of it, the next MCU film after Far From Home may be Black Panther 2. it's Black Widow and Eternals next year. BP2 is definitely not coming before 2021

the more I think about it, the more it seems like a weird and dodgy decision to have the ultimate villain for Endgame be a version of Thanos who has never met the Avengers before and has no personal connection to them. really diminishes Thanos' character and the emotional stakes of the third act. I get that they were trying to subvert audience expectations by killing off Prime Thanos so early in the film, but there's a point at which you're just subverting audience expectations as an end in itself, y'know? (and it's a superhero movie revolving around magic cosmic stones, don't tell me there's no way they could have taken Prime Thanos off the board for an hour and a half and still done the time travel/Stark Gauntlet plot without killing him permanently)

Argue posted:Hahaha, Marvel (ok technically Sony, but come on) is just flexing now, releasing trailers that explicitly instruct you not to watch them unless you've seen Endgame. well, it wasn't obvious to a certain segment of fandom that's going OMG THEY MENTIONED THE MULTIVERSE THIS MOVIE OPENS UP THE MINDBLOWING FUTURE OF THE MCU AND IS ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL TO SETTING UP THE NEXT DECADE OF FILMS, but that's what I'd guess I also feel pretty safe predicting that the five-year time jump is just going to be handwaved away in a few lines of dialogue and mostly ignored, and that applies to the rest of the MCU as well, outside of maybe one or two of the Disney+ shows.
