Great trailer.

[Henry Gale]

Tatum may no longer be Gambit, which is a bit of a shock since his desire to do it was seemingly the entire impetus for it getting made.

But with it all starting to film in a couple of months and the budget leaking, there's a good possibility his people just let this idea out there for him to negotiate in public. It worked for Neill Blomkamp and David Lynch!

[Ivan Drago]

At least now he can play Venom.

[TGM]

So for no real reason other than I randomly felt like ranking some more shit recently, I at first decided to rank all of the non-MCU Marvel movies that I've seen, then afterwards decided, fuck it, I'm adding the MCU into the mix as well. So here's what I came out with, and keep in mind that this ranking is based solely on personal enjoyment as opposed to quality of film (for example, I'm well aware that X2 is technically a better movie than X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but god damn do I enjoy the hell out of the latter's cheesiness). Also, right off the bat, many (read: everyone) will disagree with my #1 choice, but it's a movie that I've grown to love quite a bit and which has gradually become an all time favorite of mine, and that I can defend pretty well in-depth against much of the hate that it gets, so its placement at the top is pretty solid with me.

Spider-Man 3
Guardians of the Galaxy
Iron Man 3
The Avengers
Spider-Man
X-Men: First Class
The Punisher
Thor: The Dark World
The Amazing Spider-Man
Captain America: The First Avenger
Iron Man
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
X-Men: Days of Future Past
Spider-Man 2
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
X2: X-Men United
Hulk
Big Hero 6
The Incredible Hulk
Thor
Blade
Blade: Trinity
X-Men: The Last Stand
Daredevil
The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Avengers: Age of Ultron
X-Men
The Wolverine
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Ant-Man
Punisher: War Zone
Iron Man 2
Fantastic Four
Ghost Rider
Blade II

Also, ranking all the Marvel movies has made me suddenly really want to finally seek out and watch Elektra, as its omission from my list just sorta seems glaring to me. :\

So, anyone else wanna give this a go?

[number8]

I will not.

[megladon8]

Spider-Man 3 at the top was a unique choice for sure, but Blade 2 at the bottom makes my head spin.

That's still one of the best comic book movies ever, regardless of studio or subject matter.

[Dead & Messed Up]

I mean, okay:

MCU:

Guardians of the Galaxy
The Avengers
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Iron Man
Iron Man 3
Captain America: The First Avenger
Avengers: Age of Ultron
Thor
Iron Man 2

Otherwise:

Spider-Man 2
Blade II
Blade
X2: X-Men United
The Wolverine
Spider-Man
The Punisher
Hulk
Big Hero 6
X-Men
X-Men: The Last Stand
Spider-Man 3
Daredevil
Blade: Trinity

I admittedly haven't seen it since it was in theaters, but really, the only thing I even remember about the movie is how much the twist in it pissed me off to the point I couldn't enjoy the rest of the movie, and I seriously can't even recall anything else about it. So not only did it not sit well with me when I watched it, it's also the least memorable to me as well. It may well be due for a rewatch, however, as I've seen lots of praise for it over the years since, and my movie viewing habits have changed considerably since then.

[megladon8]

Which twist? That Novak was the baddie's son?

[TGM]

Which twist? That Novak was the baddie's son?

Specifically it was the kid suddenly turning on Blade that pissed me off. But who knows, it's possible such a thing might not even bother me in the least were I to watch it today.

[Dead & Messed Up]

I thought that twist had a fun payoff.

I've been onto you since day one...

[megladon8]

I always loved the line "you...do not know...who you are FUCKING WITH!"

[TGM]

K, I think I'm officially putting that movie back on my "to watch" list, 'cause I literally don't even remember the other three scenes you guys have mentioned so far, so it feels almost as if I haven't even seen the damn thing. :p

Spider-Man 2 is the one that fluctuates the most in term of what placement on the upper half I'm gonna give it. What works is tremendous, but there are some things that really clunk (it's been a long time, but I remember some stuff that is probably supposed to be endearingly 'goofy', but for me it just feels embarrassing instead). Still really good on the whole though.

[Skitch]

Also, right off the bat, many (read: everyone) will disagree with my #1....

Not I. I wouldnt have it that high, but Ive often said I dont understand its hate in the wake of Spider-Man 2's overlove.

Blade 2 at the very bottom is perplexing, though. I will tackle this ranking after a think. ;)

[Skitch]

Youre memory is correct. And with everyone calling it the best comic book movie ever, Raimi continued in true sequel fashion (more bigger same), which explains Spider-Man 3's emo street walks and dance scenes and etc etc.

[megladon8]

Completely agree about Spider-Man 2's overlove, Skitch.

Not only do I not see what was so overwhelmingly amazing about it, but I prefer the first movie.

X2 and Blade 2 are better sequels.

[Ezee E]

If it wasn't for that WWE final fight in Blade 2, it could've been one of the best comic book movies period.

And these are the only ones on your list I would whole-heartedly endorse. And even most of those are between 65-70.

[number8]

You know, if you really have to do a trailer for a trailer, at least make it its own thing, like this.

[megladon8]

I have a feeling the marketing campaign for this will end up being better than the movie.

[D_Davis]

All the superheroes!

12.Unbreakable

24. Batman Returns

26. Hulk


These are the only three that I would ever actively want to watch again, so long as we're talking Ang Lee's Hulk.

I have a feeling the marketing campaign for this will end up being better than the movie.

And here it is. Comicon trailer basically. I doubt the general violence and irresponsible behaviour is enough of a pull to get me to like this. It looks decent at best regardless of whether Deadpool looks and sounds just right.

[Dukefrukem]

This will be Fox's biggest hit ever.

Rated R. Looks to follow the same ol' formula otherwise.

[Henry Gale]

Yeah, once I heard about the 40 pages of reshoots over the course of a month earlier this year, saw that the newer trailers suddenly had new action scenes where everyone looked different (clearly a part of the new pages), and reviews started saying how scenes from the early promo stuff is completely absent, I felt all this coming.

I also figured Trank would give no fucks and tweet something like that. :lolol:

[Skitch]

Man, I feel bad for Trank. I feel like I'd rather see his vision than the producers.

[Ivan Drago]

This has a 10% on Rotten Tomatoes. TEN PERCENT.

My expectations were already low....but jeez.....

[number8]

That actually makes me want to see it. That's lower than Jonah Hex!

[Skitch]

Where do you stand on that flick, 8? I thought it was bizarro good bad.

[number8]

It was a better acted Wild Wild West.

[Skitch]

10% is also lower than Frank Miller's The Spirit.

It's tied with Catwoman and Elektra.

Epic.

Since LucasFilm is tied to Fox, I'm sure this is the reason why they pushed him off Star Wars.

[Lazlo]

Epic.

Since LucasFilm is tied to Fox, I'm sure this is the reason why they pushed him off Star Wars.

Disney owns Lucasfilm. Fox was only the distributer from Empire on.

Lucasfilm probably pushed him off Star Wars for reasons related to FF, but not because they're a division of Fox.

[number8]

Fox was only the distributer from Empire on.

Fox has the theatrical and home video release rights for all six Star Wars movies. In fact, they own permanent rights to the original film. Disney can never release it.

[Dukefrukem]

Well how would Disney get a whiff of how bad this movie was then? Has to be through Fox.

I think Simon Kinberg is also producing one of the Star Wars spinoffs.

[number8]

So this is kind of a big news. (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/marvel-shake-up-film-chief-819205)

Kevin Feige and by extension Marvel Studios will no longer have to report to Marvel Entertainment CEO Ike Perlmutter. Instead, Feige will only answer directly to Disney chairman Alan Horn. This is a real power move by him to side up to Disney directly like that.

Perlmutter will continue to be top dog for Marvel's TV, comics, and animation side, but he'll no longer have a say in the movies.

[number8]

Oooh, the change is even bigger than just circumventing Perlmutter. (http://birthmoviesdeath.com/2015/09/02/the-marvel-creative-committee-is-over)

[number8]

Joaquin Phoenix:
(http://www.timeout.com/london/film/joaquin-phoenix-on-being-hollywoods-grumpy-old-man-and-working-with-woody-allen-on-irrational-man)

There was talk of you playing Doctor Strange for Marvel, but the role went to Benedict Cumberbatch. Would you ever be up for making a big film like that, or even a ‘Star Wars’?
‘Sure. When I was younger I was probably a bit of a snob about that. But they’ve gotten better. I’ve flirted with several of those films, having meetings and getting close, but ultimately it never felt like they’d really be fulfilling. There were too many requirements that went against my instincts for character. I’ve been spoiled. I’ve never had to make those compromises. I’ve not met a director yet with one of those films where we go through the script, they say: “You know what, fuck this set-piece, let’s focus on the character!” I understand, but it’s best I don’t do it.’

Do you think those filmmakers end up thinking you’re awkward or hard to please?
‘Yeah, but I’m not just being difficult. I’m just trying to find what works for me. I don’t want to commit to something and not fulfil those obligations. I enjoy watching those movies. Did you see the rebooted “Star Trek”? That kid Chris Pine who plays Kirk is fucking genius. I just don’t know if I want to have the experience of being in them. I’ve read some of those scripts and 75 percent is a description of some asteroid going through space.’

[Grouchy]

I really don't feel the need for actors like Joaquin Phoenix to be in blockbuster superhero movies. It's clearly not fulfilling for them as artists, and they end up giving their worst performances as a result. It's ultimately a move to give prestige to something that doesn't need it on the first place.

[Melville]

When the actors aren't given a lot to do, that might be true. But sometimes great performances can be integral to a blockbuster's quality. Fassbender and McAvoy were a major reason I liked the last couple X-Men movies. Fassbender was also the highlight of Prometheus. In other words, just put Fassbender in every movie.

[number8]

My belief has always been that superhero movies, especially the way Marvel makes them, should be the chance for character actors to get to be a lead.

[Dukefrukem]

“Listen, if Marvel wants me they got me. I’ve never had such a relationship where you have such—I mean look at my resume, I’m used to being on set being like, ‘Ah is this movie gonna be terrible?’ Marvel just can’t stop making great movies, they do it in their sleep. It’s wonderful directors and producers and actors and scripts, and it’s like a playground as an actor.”

Hmm.

[megladon8]

So Fox might have maybe, perhaps, perchance, possibly changes Apocalpyse to be more in keeping with the comics.

Either that or he has multiple appearances in the film.

OR the supposed set/VFX photo is fake.

[number8]

I honestly don't know what people are on about because he looks exactly the same to me in that leaked screenshot.

[megladon8]

Maybe we're not talking about the same screenshot then, because the one I saw (I'll try to find it and post it - difficult on my phone) is Apocalypse ripped straight out of the comics.

[megladon8]

http://s17.postimg.org/gyt50xxfz/image.jpg

The collar/suit could very well be the same, but the face has changed completely. Lighter blue skin, the pronounced blue lips tracing his cheekbone, white eyes.

[number8]

The line from the lips to the cheekbones were in previous pics also. Look:

https://salondelmal.files.wordpress.co m/2015/07/apocalypse1.png?w=800&h=250&crop=1

And I just assumed that the lighter color scheme is because it's a shitty pic instead of a real screenshot, which also makes the yellow eyes look white.

[Henry Gale]

Haha what?! Taiki Waititi set to direct Thor: Ragnarok. (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/taiki-waititi-direct-third-thor-829089)

As much as I love What We Do In The Shadows, I never thought it would be the film that immediately preceded an MCU entry from him.

[[ETM]]

Let's hope he pulls a Gunn instead of a Trank.

[Henry Gale]

;546376']Let's hope he pulls a Gunn instead of a Trank.

Well, I feel like the former is more likely since the relationship between Trank and Fox seemed to have been to just withhold information and each of their intentions from one another until very last possible minutes in production, resulting in complete distrust and near-unsalvageable elements of a final product. With Marvel's already established mega-franchise beyond just the previous Thor films and Feige's guiding (if not outright pushing) hand, Waititi is walking into a pretty sturdy foundation, and they had to be the ones to choose him for him, or at the very least, his openness to doing whatever they tell him.

But Gunn walked into Guardians with an existing script, all the characters and their arcs that couldn't be changed, and all the action setpieces firmly in place, and they still let his voice through pretty prominently.

[number8]

Marvel loves them comedy directors.

[Henry Gale]

From the article:


Ruben Fleischer, Rob Letterman and Rawson Marshall Thurber were the other directors that were finalists for the gig.

The budget for Infinity War Part 1 & 2 is $1 billion.

That's fucking ridiculous.

[Lazlo]

The budget for Infinity War Part 1 & 2 is $1 billion.

That's fucking ridiculous.

What's incredible is $400 million of that is for writers, directors, producers, and actors. While I'm sure there's a lot of those folks under that chunk, allegedly Downey is getting half of the acting budget.

[Skitch]

It is ridiculous....until you reconsider....its highly probable both parts will easily make at least 1.5 billion each.

[megladon8]

The sad thing is that if they don't make that kind of profit, they'll be seen as utter failures.

This type of budget and revenue expectation has ruined movies (and video games).

And this so coming from a fan of these movies.

[Dead & Messed Up]

I'm still going cross-eyed from that director list.

"Get me the director of Gulliver's Travels and Shark Tale!" someone said unironically.

[Dukefrukem]

With an Ant-Man sequel confirmed, Phase 3 is looking awfully crowded now.... Marvel has also announced that three untitled MCU movies will premiere on May 1, 2020, July 10, 2020, and Nov. 6, 2020. Ridiculous lineup indeed. What does DC have? Like 3 confirmed dates?

Captain America: Civil War May 6, 2016

Doctor Strange November 4, 2016

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 May 5, 2017

Untitled Spider-Man film July 28, 2017

Thor: Ragnarok November 3, 2017

Black Panther February 16, 2018

Avengers: Infinity War – Part 1 May 4, 2018

Ant-Man and the Wasp July 6, 2018

Captain Marvel March 8, 2019

Avengers: Infinity War – Part 2 May 3, 2019

Inhumans July 12, 2019

[Skitch]

Marvel just selects all the dates, that way when competing comic book movies are announced they can go "oooooohhhh whos gonna blink" nonsense.

[Dukefrukem]

Rumors have it that now there's an Ant-Man sequel in the works, the Inhumans movie is canceled, which would be pretty disappointing since after Dr Strange next year almost everything else on Marvel's plate is a sequel. (Black Panther and Capt. Marvel seem so far away)

[megladon8]

Inhumans was one of the movies I was most interested in.

That sucks.

[slqrick]

Fantastic Four rights going back to Marvel in exchange for TV rights to X-Men going to Fox? Sure.

[Milky Joe]

f-f-f-f-f-uh-k yeah.

[Morris Schæffer]

I certainly have somewhat high hopes for this, it's just that some story beats begin to blur into one another with all of these movies. I mean, the idea that superheroes aren't really desired just strikes me as a familiar idea. It's possible that the trailer for Batman vs. Superman has given me that idea. The X-Men movies had some of that.

I'm also skeptical about how far these opposing characters will be taken since they're still part of the Avengers. I think this will deliver, but I'm not sure it'll have a more engaging story than Winter Soldier.

[megladon8]

Really intrigued by that fight scene with Buck, Cap and Iron Man. Looks like it's shot in a cool way.

[Skitch]

I love that Cap has the best movies in the MCU.

[number8]

One can dismiss RDJ's acting for the past few years, but honestly that one line delivery in the trailer manages to make Stark more sympathetic than seven whole issues of the comic.

[megladon8]

Yes! I thought that was great.

[Dukefrukem]

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

[megladon8]

Can't wait to see Black Panther in action. Got a couple quick glimpses, looks badass.

[Dukefrukem]

This is another perfect Marvel trailer. Perfection. Tone, what is shown. What is not shown. I so want to know (right now) if William Hurt's role is bigger than it appears.

I see Tony's pain in that moment...and then I remember his cocky attitude towards Steve in Avengers...why would Steve pick you, Tony? You're an ass.

[Dead & Messed Up]

Moreover, why does Tony think they were friends? They teamed up for fights, but I can't remember a time where they get along and actually demonstrate a genuine friendship. The shawarma joint and the party at Tony's apartment, maybe?

Reminds me of that moment in Sith where Kenobi's all "You were my brother, I loved you!" Wait, when did that happen? In, like, the first 20 minutes of one of three films?

[Watashi]

Stuff happens off screen.

[Dead & Messed Up]

Stuff happens off screen.

[number8]

You're spoiled by franchise filmmaking and expecting the set up to be doled out in multiple previous movies. Fact is this movie will probably start with several scenes of them being besties.

But even in those scenes they had distaste for each other. At best they had "brother in arms" respect for each other but hardly an undying bond, imo.

Lord help me, but I felt Snyder's Batman Vs Superman trailer was better and that showdown was made to seem more immediately compelling.

Needed more of Starks's perspective. Don't really get what's driving either guy here to be honest. I'm sure the movie fleshes this out, but the trailer itself sort of left me unmoved and scratching my head.

Hahahah you're reviewing the two trailers as if they were the actual movies?

With how much they're talking about Spidey's costume bring heavy CGI I'm really curious what's going on with it.

First thing I thought was that it could be like Deadpool where the eyes are animated and move.

Looks silly, but I'm up for the cast.

At least this time it looks like they'll be fighting someone other than themselves.

[Lazlo]

At least this time it looks like they'll be fighting someone other than themselves.

Yeah, that has me the most excited. Magneto's still there, but he's not the mastermind. Apocalypse looks formidable and daunting. The struggle for the soul of Mystique is a storyline I'm glad to see (hopefully) downplayed. Did not enjoy First Class at all and only mildly liked Days of Future Past.

[number8]

Oscar Isaac seems like he's having fun.

[Dukefrukem]

First reaction: Could you copy the Avengers 2 trailer more?

Lol!!

"Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse? He got that one from the Bible."

Very intriguing stuff from Kevin Feige on the next Thor movie....

“I don't think people will read into that title alone [regarding] what the movie's going to be,” he said. “It's going to be, perhaps, as totally different from the two prior Thor movies as Winter Soldier was from the first Captain America. We want to take it to new places, we've got new characters that will show how big we're swinging on this. And we have a Hulk.”

“The film takes place within the cosmos primarily which is to say, frankly, very little Earth.”

So Hulk is in the next Thor and he may very well be off Earth.

[Henry Gale]

I mean, that's exactly what I want to hear, but is that anything we didn't already assume? Once you have the Guardians, Doctor Strange and even Ant-Man (Microverse / Quantum Realm) in your universe, it'd be such a missed opportunity not to go more cosmic with one of the originals who's already gone rainbow-beam-hopping between worlds.

Plus, no one's officially said a word as to whether Portman, Skarsgard and Dennings are even returning.

Weird that Gunn came out and said

there won't be a Thanos appearance in GotG2 or Infinity Stone reference.

Feels like Thanoes already exists in this universe so advance the story that way. Easy.

Just makes me wonder when we are going to see the rest of the stones and the threat leading up to Infinity war. I guess there's plenty of time in Thor 3, Dr Strange and Black Panther (maybe Spider-man) but I'm anxious.

[Grouchy]

Thor 3 seems like the movie for that then.

Fox Says Wolverine 3 Will Be Rated 'R'

Seems like a no brainer for Fox. 5 of the 6 largest openings are X-men movies.

20TH CENTURY FOX - OPenings.

1 Deadpool $132,434,639

3 X-Men: The Last Stand $102,750,665

Why are people freaking out about 1.5 milliseconds of Spider-Man? Was nowhere near enough to judge up or down.

[Irish]

Why are people freaking out about 1.5 milliseconds of Spider-Man? Was nowhere near enough to judge up or down.

1. The way his voice cracked when he tried to be all casual was spot-on for the character. He's always supposed to have been a kid out of his depth.
2. The "Underoos" line was funny and a perfect introduction.
3. Seeing Spider-man in an actual Marvel Studios movie, after all these years and several bad outings, is pretty f'ing cool.
4. Personally, I wish they could do or would do more crossover stuff.

[Dukefrukem]

Irish nailed it.

Also, I didn't watch the trailer, but that didn't stop the headlines everywhere along with this gif.

How do people feel about the eyes here?

[Skitch]

Irish nailed it? I watched three times and never noticed a cracked voice (nor do I remember reading that in a Spidey book), the Underoos line was fine I guess though kinda weird with bunch of costumed people standing facing each like a dodge ball line, and his other two points didnt have anything to do with performance. Im not dogging Spideys appearance, just saying it was far from worthy any hub bub.

[Skitch]

Btw i think the eyes look sweet. In fact I'm far more interested in the science behind those than the webshooters.

[megladon8]

I think he looks great. Definitely my favorite live action Spider-Man look thus far.

[Dead & Messed Up]

Spider-Man Shmider-Pan. Best moment was when Cap said, "I could do this all day."

[megladon8]

So nice to not have those big ugly webs protruding out of the costume for once.

[Morris Schæffer]

looks exceptionally good. The stakes appear massive and the conflict between the leads appears genuine, powerful. Can't be here soon enough.

@damu: that line's ripped from an Arnold movie though. :) Maybe The Last Stand.

@damu: that line's ripped from an Arnold movie though. :) Maybe The Last Stand.

I'm guessing that line is as old as Arnold.

It's a reference to the first Cap flick.

I watched a video on youtube where they were talking about spider-mans eyes and they showed the clip. If you listen closely, you can hear what sounds like a camera lens focusing. I think this may be the Tony Stark Spidey suit.

[Grouchy]

I'd really love it if the characters from the Netflix TV shows had at least a cameo in this that shows their alignement.

[Wryan]

You're right. The eyelids also have an aperture-like lens (but in the shape of his eye) that narrows, probably some kind of zoom or HUD, if Tony was involved in his suit. Dunno how that comports with comic stuff.

[DavidSeven]

I'm sure the CGI on Spider-Man will get better, but why even go there? The costume looks silly in the trailer, so I can sympathize with the negative reactions.

[Dukefrukem]

Dunno how that comports with comic stuff.

THe suit in the comics was amazing. It gave spidey 4 more arms (like Doc Oc)

[Dukefrukem]

They better have some tricks up their sleeve because personally I'd see Batman-anything over anything.

So untrue now.

[Ezee E]

I don't even think I'll see this. I didn't see Avengers 2 either.

But I will see Capt America: Civil War.

[Dukefrukem]

The reason I was going back in 2014 posts is because I wanted to see when Phase 3 was officially announced and when we could possibly start to hear about Phase 4.

They announced movies into 2019 at their standalone event, 5 years before and 2 years before Phase 3 even started.

I'm wondering if we will start to hear lineups at this years comic-con since that was their initial plan but they weren't ready to announce in July of 2014. I'm also really curious if Inhumans is still in the pipes.

[TGM]

Do you really want to know that far ahead, though? Personally I found the gradually expanding MCU far more intriguing back when we didn't know the full plan, and only had an idea what the next movie was based on the post-credits teases. *shrug*

[Ezee E]

I figure they need to see if some of these lesser-known superhero movies pan out before planning 2020-forward. If Iron Man/Captain America/Thor is done, will Black Panther/Captain Marvel/Doctor Strange/Inhumans truly be the way to go for the next ten years?

[Skitch]

I hate knowing their layout too far in advance. It robs any drama from Spider-Man reboot version 3 knowing parts 2, 3, 4, 5, and Mary Jane and Aunt Mae spinoffs are already scheduled.

[Ezee E]

I don't know much about Dr. Strange, is it basically a Hulk premise mixed with Thor?

[Skitch]

I would say no. Its a surgeon with god complex that loses use of his hands and becomes extremely depressive, then learns to bypass reality via magic. But I'm not Dr. Strange expert (as some will quote this and say "obviously"). The animated film seemed to be a fine primer based on what I've researched online.

[Dukefrukem]

He's also part of the Illuminati which IMO, is one of the coolest things in the Marvel Universe and the MCU already has 5 members. Stark, Strange, Black Bolt, Black Panther and Namor.

They'd just be missing Professor X and Richards.

[Grouchy]

Huh? Where are Black Bolt and Namor?

[Dukefrukem]

Huh? Where are Black Bolt and Namor?

Well I'm assuming they'd introduce him in the Inhumans movie.

And Marvel has held the rights to Namor since ~2013 when they took them from Universal and could introduce him anywhere theyd like.

Edit: Namor would be awesome in the MCU. He's such a cock. They should cast Cary Elwes.

[Dukefrukem]

Hmm.. Sony registers Spidermanhomecomingthemovie.co m

Spider-man: Homecoming ?

[number8]

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige told EW, yes – not only does Spidey end up helping Iron Man in Civil War, but the plan is for some Marvel Cinematic Universe stalwarts to appear in Spider-Man’s film. “He is in the universe now, and the fun of the universe is that characters go back and forth,” Feige said.

So essentially future Spidey movies are really just Marvel Studios movies and Sony is just skimming money off the top, like a venture capitalist.

[Dukefrukem]

[Dukefrukem]

Early screenings of Civil War are positive.

http://heroichollywood.com/reactions-critics-screening-captain-america-civil-war/

[Peng]

Hm, wondering when critics I follow will have a chance to see it. I am going to see this either way, but those are the very typical 'first-wave' enthusiastic critics who usually get the first screening. Well, maybe except Devin Faraci, whom I can't stand but whose opinions of films are ok enough.

[Irish]

I think it'll be fine (it's Disney). But I wonder whether, from a distance, the central conflict of Civil War will look too similar to BvS.

Once the "superheroes fighting each other" motif runs out of steam, where will these franchises go?

Edit: Also Faraci is a huge and unabashed Marvel fanboy. He doesn't even pretend to approach these movies from a straight angle.

[Morris Schæffer]

Love to see Brainiac, but I doubt WB execs would greenlight a $200MM picture when Marvel already did a "killer robot" villain.

Darkseid ... man. He might be too weird. I dunno how'd you explain stuff like New Genesis, Omega Beams, and the Anti-Life Equation to a general audience.

These movies tend to lean toward heroes and villains that have limited to no powers, can't fly, and can be explained in a 90 second teaser trailer. A lot of the stuff from the comics feels like it's too big, too confusing, or too goofy for a mass market film.

(I think this is why WB, in particular, keeps going back to The Joker and Lex Luthor).

[Dukefrukem]

Duke Speculation Time


“There’s an overarching story that’s going to be told through all four films, “And I think having the amount of characters we have in [Civil War] certainly prepares us to deal with probably triple the amount of characters in Infinity War.”

Triple??????

Okay... Let's do this:

----------------------------------------
Civil War Characters (15)
----------------------------------------
Hawkeye
Cap
Winter Solder
Scarlet Witch
Ant-Man
Agent 13
Falcon
----------
Iron Man
War Machine (dead?)
Vision
Black Widow
Black Pather
Spider-man
------------
Bad Guys
------------
Crossbones
Baron Zemo

----------------------------------------
Infinity War Characters (15x3= 45!! (Say 40-45))
---------------------------------------
Everyone from Above
- Crossbones and Zemo (assuming)
+Thanos
+Thor
+Hulk
+Dr Strange
+The Ancient One
+Wong
+ Peter Quill
+ Drax
+ Groot
+Gamora
+Rocket
+The Collector
+ Mantis
+ the Wasp
+Captain Marvel
+Nick Fury
+Maria Hill

So the best I can do is get that number up to 15-2+17 = 40

Anyone else want to take a stab ?

[bac0n]

Lets not forget that Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Iron First exist in the MCU. And so does Punisher.

[Dukefrukem]

Has Marvel ever indicated that the TV would crossover into movie?

[number8]

No. Kevin Feige generally resents/doesn't care about the TV universe.

Moreso now with the company shakeup last year that has him reporting to Disney directly instead of Marvel. It's a one-way shared universe. Marvel builds their TV in response to the movies, but the movies are more or less self-contained.

[Dukefrukem]

Since we made our initial phase three announcement, we added Spider-Man, which was a big joyous coup for us. We added Ant-Man and the Wasp, which was a big fun continuation of that story for us. Walt Disney Company has announced an Indiana Jones film for right around that same time. So I think it will shuffle off the current date that it’s on right now. How far down it shuffles, I’m not sure yet.

Bummer.

The thing with Darkseid, for me, is that he seems basically just like a DC Thanos.

That's who was supposed to be the villain in Raimi's last one, before the studio was against his idea to go that rout and he ultimately pulled out, resulting in The Amazing Spider-Man series. So it'd be funny to see Marvel's first outing with the character go right back to that. :p

He's talked about this, actually. He said he doesn't want to do indies anymore. He doesn't enjoy the harder work, dealing with a crew with a learning curve, trying to get the word out at film festivals, etc. He prefers doing big budget tentpoles because he gets to just act and get pampered on set and be treated like a rock star during press tours.
