Sony & Walt Disney’s Marvel Team On Third ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ Title With Superhero To Appear In Future Marvel Pics

The third film is scheduled for release on July 16, 2021.

I think some people came to their senses and realized they could make more money together than apart.

ANDY PARK Looks Back on a Decade Designing the MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE

Shockingly, Martin Scorsese likens the MCU to a theme park more than cinema. And somehow, this is news.

Agents of SHIELD star teases potential returns in time-travelling final season

“Who knows who we see on the way back…”

this is the description of Ana(aka Satana) Helstrom, Damian’s sister.

Ana runs a successful auction house and suffers no fools,

does this sound like another tv character to anyone? Maybe this.

Agents of SHIELD star accepts that final season won’t “make everyone happy”

“But they definitely do a really good job.”

Especially if you like Marvel movies?

That’s was Rogue One wasn’t it?

When’s Rogue Two coming out?

Taika Waititi: ‘Thor 4’ Could Include Breast Cancer Storyline for Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster

Sounds like a bad idea to me. I want a wild, fun ride from Thor: Love & Thunder.

to bring back an old staple from MW: Kid Actor looking for work.

I agree with Chris. To me, Natalie Portman is like the buzzkill friend or partner who comes around and bitches how Thor and Korg need to stop playing video games, grow up and be adults. The reason Jane stopped being Thor in the comics was because of Cancer but imo, it was never a big part of the story line. It was like her Thor would go out and be a cosmic bad ass then at the end of the story, she has to turn back into Jane and go to chemotherapy. LAME.
Ragnarok worked for me because it was fun. Both Thor and Hulk got to show different playful sides of themselves and people liked it. As soon as I saw Natalie at Comic Con, I worried the script would have to have some big dramatic role for her and take away from the fun that was Ragnarok. I am going to see the movie and I am going to have faith in Watiti to make an enjoyable movie.

Took a look at the trailer for his movie “Short Term 12. It looks very good. And it seems like Marvel is going for another indie auteur with this.

Take with a grain of salt

Well I mean, it’d be stupid not to use Rudd anymore… He’s by far the most charismatic actor they still have under contract. Yes, he’s more charismatic than Hemsworth or Pratt…

I’m sort of surprised, if true.

Marvel’s next billion-dollar blockbuster should be a buddy film featuring Grandmaster and the Collector. I would pay twice — no, THREE TIMES!! — to see Jeff Goldblum and Benicio Del Toro on screen together… AND SO WOULD YOU ALL!!!!

as long as there’s a scene with Louis narrating.

the next trailer should be this.
here is the start
Louis: last week, i was talking with this really fine girl who I met through my cousin Rico. You know Rico, the one with that thing where he does that other thing….etc etc

I was going to watch it anyway, but she’s excellent.

Ant-Man is a WASP

Actually they should give the Wasp top billing… Some silly name like “The Wasp and the ludicrous adventures of Scott Lang”, just for symetry’s sake =P

Heh. I like the idea, and that title.

And now even Francis Ford Copolla is chiming in with Scorcese calling the MCEU “despicable”

What did those movies ever do to you Francis?

I love francis ford coppola (he’s probably close to my favourite director) but his filmography isn’t perfect. He made ‘Jack’.

Francis Ford Coppolas X-Men

Scorsese just made his most recent film for Netflix, then told everyone to go see it in theatres. I think they see this as Marvel’s fault? If it wasn’t for these pesky superheroes people would go see movies about mid-20th century gangsters in cinemas instead?
.
These guys were superstars and made some very successful films, but the world changed and they didn’t. They’re no less talented (Scorsese for sure, it’s been a while since I saw a Coppola movie) but they make the kind of films that have moved to peak TV.

I went to a talk earlier this year by a guy who’d made a great little short film as a pitch for a movie.
.
But it was taking a long time to get it financed as a feature film and, in the meantime, TV companies had come knocking, asking to develop the short as a TV series.
.
And he turned them down.
.
Some people just want to make films. That word means something to them that TV doesn’t. Even today.

Something is definitely happening.

I don’t wanna shit on Loeb that much because he did make the NEtflix shows happen, particularaly DD, and Legion, but yeah, the rest is mediocre at best.

The cartoons are for Disney+.

Not surprised.

‘Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger’ Canceled By Freeform After 2 Seasons

They have the team-up with Runaways coming, and that’s a sure bet it is also ending.

I watched both season of C&D and while not awful, the pacing was too slow. Based on the stories told, each season could have been 5-6 episodes, tops.

EXCLUSIVE: Martin Scorsese to direct Marvel film, “The Fantastic Four”

He says himself that he is an old man

I know that if I were younger, if I’d come of age at a later time, I might have been excited by these pictures and maybe even wanted to make one myself. But I grew up when I did and I developed a sense of movies — of what they were and what they could be — that was as far from the Marvel universe as we on Earth are from Alpha Centauri.

I may disagree with him about whether there is substance and emotional resonance in Marvel but I agree that movies from the 50s, 60s and 70s and movies from 2010s are very very different.

He could be the male version of Shamrock, who’s superpower is ‘the Luck of the Irish’.

From Chip Zdarsky’s latest newsletter:

ARE MARVEL COMICS CINEMA
(the below is excerpted from my op-ed in the New York Times)
.
A bunch of people are debating this question: Are Marvel Comics cinema? In a lot of ways, it’s a question that defines our times, which are stupid. Now, I’m clearly an expert on Marvel Comics, but I also happen to consider myself an expert when it comes to cinema, having watched many movies. In fact, if you ever go with me to see a movie, you’ll soon discover my expertise as I regale you with really interesting movie trivia throughout the screening (“That parking lot was also featured in Deadpool 2 as a digital recreation.” “That actor was in the previous scene.”).
.
So, who better than me to wade in on this topic? There are a lot of things to consider, so bear with me as I hit my word count.
.
First of all, comics don’t move unless you physically move them yourself. Cinema does. In fact, it’s one of its defining characteristics. Cinema is like watching moving and talking giants trapped in a box. Whereas comics are like tiny, frozen people trapped in different boxes.
.
Second of all, you need to read comics. Cinema doesn’t require reading. I know what you’re thinking. “But Chip, what about movies with subtitles?” Well, you got me there. Or did you? I don’t believe that movies with subtitles are movies. In fact, I like to call them “motion comics.”
.
But what about the similarities? Fifty percent of Marvel comic books feature Spider-Man, and fifty percent of movies also feature Spider-Man. A movie ticket costs fifteen bucks. So does a Marvel comic. Both are consumed with popcorn. I know that these examples make it seem like Marvel comics and cinema are interchangeable, but ask yourself this: are they? No, they’re not.
.
Thank you.
