Movies: Marvel Cinematic Universe Discussion - Part 4

[MVP of West Hollywd]

Taylor is actually a good fit for a superhero role as she looks tall when she is in movies and it wouldn't put a lot of demands on her acting wise.

Multiverse of Madness was a 6/10 movie for me so I’m sure there’s many valid criticisms in there nonetheless

They fell into the trap of introducing too many characters.

"Hey, here's this new girl who can warp through dimensions. Yeah, she's just a plot device who appeared out of nowhere."

"Hey, here's a huge supergroup of superheroes that comic book nerds are going to ejaculate over. Guess what, they're all dead now! See how tough Scarlet Witch is? Crazy. Anyway, moving along."

All a by product of the Chapek-era. He wanted quantity over quality, especially on Disney+ from all studios and placed his banker buddies as middlemen. When Iger returned, all those middlemen were fired and the "dogma" was returned to quality over quantity. Clearly evidenced by Feige ordering the re-shoots on Cap 4 and re-styling of DD: Björn Again (I refuse to not call it that). If Feige had had all the power, those characters would've been most likely introduced slower and better.

The truth of that hinges on this next round of movies being close in quality to the Infinity War Saga (which I’ll bet my life savings it won’t come close to)

I can't watch Youtube until I get off work but I'm assuming that video covers the announced 'Doomsday' cast?

Marvel announces all major cast members for Avengers: Doomsday

Chris Hemsworth as Thor; Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Falcon; Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier; and Paul Rudd as Ant-Man are among the first batch of returning Avengers.

Meanwhile, new superheroes joining the Avengers ensemble include Simu Liu’s Shang-Chi, Letitia Wright’s Shuri, Tenoch Huerta Mejía’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever antagonist Namor, Kelsey Grammer’s Hank McCoy/Beast, and Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova.

Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Vanessa Kirby, who will star as Ben Grimm/The Thing and Sue Storm/Invisible Woman in the new Fantastic Four: First Steps, out July 25, are also joining the Avengers line-up.

It's still going.

I think they're doing this as a reference to the Captain America post-credit scene in one of the Spider-Man films. Clearly done with social media in mind and I read more than 7 million people are viewing it on various platforms so it clearly worked.

Edit: Hannah John-Kamen just revealed, Winston Duke released before her. I expect Iman Vellani to at least be announced still.

Edit2: Tom Hiddleston announced.

Edit3: Apparently could be 45 names announced!

Paul Rudd getting a small chair...

Sir Ian McKellen!

Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden and.... CHANNING TATUM!

"Woo! I'mabouttomakeanameformyselfhere!"

RDJ in person the last name! So they're saving the rest for Secret Wars, which sort of makes sense.

 

[John Price]

these Doomsday Instagram reels are crazy. I'm so hyped up !

[Jack Straw]

That’s some cast.

 

[Jussi]

According to The Hollywood Reporter, more cast announcements will come later.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

They don't need more cast announcements, they've got plenty of cast. They're quite flush with cast as a matter of fact.

Too much, one could argue.

 

[John Price]

The reddit was complaining about how many others were missing, I'm sure they'll announce them later

"Wherezzzzz captain marvel !!!"

This is that wealth of talent hoarding that's such a political talking point these days...

Only the biggest and best casts.

I see that and raise:

The story does not only require a lot of characters but all of them.

Remember when Alan Cumming's name was censored on this site? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
