The Marvel/Sony Superhero Movies Thread

[number8]

Would extending the countdown to 3 minutes cut down on cost?

[Dead & Messed Up]

Sure, but it'd also cut down on fun.

[Skitch]

Can we please stick a fork in the Tomatometer?

YOU HAVE MY SWORD.

Also Kinberg wrote Days of Future Past and Apocalypse, which should be way more relevant than The Last Stand, and he's basically Fox's closest thing to Feige in overseeing the connected creative side of Fox's Marvel stuff.

Good to know.

Strangely I feel that a lot of the blame for X3 sucking so much lands on Bryan Singer for abandoning the X-Men to do a mediocre Superman movie. If he had just stayed in that groove, I doubt it would have turned out the way it did.

I watched a bunch of MCU over the weekend. Two Thor movies, Two Avenger movies and Ant-man. I noticed something in the post credit scene in Avengers.

Obviously everyone here knows it's where Thanos is first introduced. The guy that's talking to him, is talking about the humans and how they can't be controlled and how resilient they are blah blah blah. But the last line he says is interesting... “To challenge them is to court death”- That's when Thanos turns around and smiles.

I never noticed this before, but that's alluding to the comics where Thanos was literally courting death. He wanted death (the character) to love him.

Makes me wonder if this is really the path they are going down with Infinity War. And whether they'll just use Hela as the replacement for Death.

I feel there must have been a discussion about that in the Avengers thread. I'm not gonna go looking for it, though.

[Dukefrukem]

I'm reading the whole thread now.

[Dukefrukem]

This was the extent of the discussion...

I'm guessing Avengers 2. Although to be honest, he has ties to multiple heroes. But if they're going where I think and are going to do

for the sequel, my brain might melt.

Did you know about the mid-credit tease beforehand?

I had to explain to Barty about Thanos. I can imagine your pants explosion during the "court death" exchange and then his reveal.

NO. NO IDEA. You should have seen my face.

Couple of other fun quotes.

Fez from the clouds!

Multiple times in the movie, the fact that Coulson is dating a cellist is mentioned. In the Marvel Universe, there was actually a cellist super-hero: The Scarlet Witch. She eventually married The Vision. Could Coulson be back with a different identity?

And Henry Gale dropping some awesome theories back in 2012

Now that Marvel Studios is no longer the underdog with seemingly lower-end properties (Iron Man, Thor and Captain America previously being nowhere near what they are now in terms of marketability and success), and say The Amazing Spider-Man underperforms even slightly, is there any possibility of Columbia trying to renegotiating their rights of the character to try and force him into the next Avengers? We already know they intend on putting their next Spidey sequel out before the next Avengers in 2015 or so which could allow for some bridging, and Feige is still somewhat involved in that end of Marvel film development, so it's not completely impossible to imagine. I'm not sure how it worked with Hulk and Universal being allowed to keep distribution while Marvel Studios produced it.

It's pretty much now or never in terms of merging them, and now that Avengers is even bigger than the biggest of Spider-Man movies ever were, everyone would likely benefit from bringing in another universally loved hero into the team next time around.

And 8 supporting it!

Honestly, I don't think Marvel would want to without making their own Spidey movie.

What will be the best/funniest/coolest/etc combo that hasn't been seen yet?

Iron Man and Groot?
Rocket Racoon and Spider-Man?

[transmogrifier]

Gamora and something to do.
Warhammer and a personality.
A Marvel movie and an interesting third act.

Ha. Don't count on that third act happening.

Any real stakes.

We did it folks. We found the first international trailer that is WORSE than the US trailer.

[megladon8]

So, Tom Hardy is Venom.

[Ivan Drago]

So, Tom Hardy is Venom.

I'm excited.

For now.

[Ezee E]

Is Venom part of the MCU or outside? I hope outside.

[TGM]

Is Venom part of the MCU or outside? I hope outside.

I'm pretty sure it's outside, so much so that Spider-Man isn't even going to be involved. Though I'd personally still love for Sony to just say fuck it and do their own Spider-Man anyways, even with Marvel doing their thing in the MCU.

Perfect.

Now to await writer / director.

[number8]

It's Ruben Fleischer.

[Ezee E]

It's Ruben Fleischer.

And the writer of Kangaroo Jack.

[Henry Gale]

And the writer of Kangaroo Jack.

To be fair, he also wrote Con Air.
(And High Fidelity, and did the first significant rewrites to Raimi's firsr Spider-Man, but whatever...)

Also Jeff Pinkner is co-writing. He ran most of Fringe!

The Fringe experience is a good sign. It's one of the few series that has a dismal debut season and recovers nicely through seasons 2 3 and 4.

[Wryan]

New Homecoming poster has to be seen to be believed.

[Wryan]

I think the best part is how one of the nameless henchmen gets on a freaking poster.

EDIT: Or not. There are reports that said henchmen is Logan Marshall Green, who is playing...one of two versions of Shocker (?), with Bokeem Woodbine being the other. Da hell?
