MARVEL Movies - Phase 2

[reepicheep]

the second arc in the Ultimates could be loosely followed. Hulk goes berserk, gets exiled. Black Widow turns heel. SHIELD gets infiltrated. Skrull/whatever marvel can call them orchestrating the whole thing.

This would obviously have an impact on any Pym involvement though it's been in development for ages and doesn't seem any closer to being made

Edgar Wright plans to direct an action film for Marvel Studios with some humorous elements, insisting that Ant-Man will not be a comedy like Fantastic Four or a spoof.[12] The script has been written by Wright and Joe Cornish, who plan to include Henry Pym and Scott Lang as major characters, with Pym as Ant-Man in the 1960s in Tales to Astonish style, and a flashforward to Lang as Ant-Man's successor in modern day.[13]

I can't see the whole civil war thing working.

The Avengers seem to be very closely tied to SHIELD anyway, a government org. I can't see how any of the current roster would have a problem with being registered in the first place. There won't be enough time to establish rouge groups of superheros fucking things up in the other films to justify registration. just not enough history in the films to make me believe that ironman, thor, capt would think splitting up would be a good idea. we just put them together to save the world so why break em up?

once we get more info on the avengers plot i think we'll able to come up with some sweet ideas

they're not a team, they're a time bomb

[cyantific]

Japanese trailer with some new footage

[Architecture]

Okay, dream cast: Stephen and Danny (just for laffs).

Clive Owen for Dr. Strange

[Architecture]

Garret Hedlund could make a good Iron Fist

[reversemigraine]

Been waiting a long time for a helicarrier shot.

[Montague Terrace]

neeson as dr. strange

[Hal Jordan]

new clip with a good view of the "aliens"

[Hal Jordan]

looks more like Beta Ray Bill than skrulls




headgear is thanos-esque.

[badhat]

oh god that RDjr "yeah" take after "we've got a hulk"


like like

[creationist]

scrullz

[wakeman]

Yeah hopefully they are some cosmic threat not just more Asgardians.

[wakeman]

scrullz

I guess Whedon said it's definitely not Skrulls, cause shapeshifting aliens would add too much to an already loaded movie. Kind of disappointing but understandable.

[creationist]

yeah i was inferring that these guys appear to just be simplified skrull knock-offs

[Spotlight Kid]

new clip with a good view of the "aliens"

omg omg omg

[reversemigraine]

Variety confirms that Iron Man 3 is gonna introduce the Extremis armor.

[Architecture]

So I guess prevailing thought is Korbinites now?

[reversemigraine]

Well, like Hal said, that looks a lot more like Beta Ray Bill than anything else in the Marvel Universe.

They cut a lot of fat from the Thor mythos by eliminating the Donald Blake/magical cane element of the character, and I seriously doubt the movie will have enough time to flesh out these aliens beyond being fodder to throw at the good guys, so I doubt we'll see BRB.

BUT, if part of Thor's return to Earth early on in the movie involves any discussion about how he'll lose his power if he loses his hammer, or how other worthy people could theoretically wield the hammer -- if it's made explicit at all -- then you know you'll end up seeing some sort of fan-service situation where one of those aliens picks up or catches the hammer and magically gets a suit of armor and a cape for a split second, before he gets clobbered by the Hulk, drops it, and turns back into a regular old drone. Whedon won't be able to pass that up.

[reversemigraine]

I'm still psyched for this movie, but this is some Episode II-level dialogue and delivery:

just got a big ol grin imagining this

totally a bonus character in whatever game they end up making

I'm still psyched for this movie, but this is some Episode II-level dialogue and delivery:

"hey letterman wants a clip"

"let's just give him the most boring, non-essential, context-free dialogue we can"

[Rhodes]

Man, Hiddleston's Evans impression:

[endor holocaust]

I'm still psyched for this movie, but this is some Episode II-level dialogue and delivery:

And filmed like an ep of CSI or something.

[number none]

he looks spookily like Fassbender there

[baleen]

Man, Hiddleston's Evans impression:

@ 6:20 - followed by an embarrassing Samuel L Jackson try

[Rhodes]

Yeah that was regrettable.

I think what makes that scene seem so bad is despite the actress talking in a monotone voice you can still detect the same condescending/sarcastic/ironic tone that she uses in HIMYM. "UGH, could there be any way to do defuse that thing?"

[reversemigraine]

It's really SLJ's inability to make "We should tell them to go back to sleep?" sound anything like a question that drives me nuts.

[reversemigraine]

Didn't realize the premiere is tonight. Should be interesting to see if/when reax pop up.
