Rolling Marvel Cinematic Universe thread (+ a poll: Classic or Dud?)

http://bostonherald.com/entertainment/movies/movie_news/2014/07/joaquin_phoenix_in_talks_to_play_marvels_doctor_strange

clooney's name's been thrown around for years. whenever a part like this gets a lot of casting speculation from fanboys it seems like it always ends up going to a relative unknown so

xp lol

joaquin is pretty believable, respected, known but not likely to cost a ton upfront

has rocked stache to acclaim

regretfully won't be set in 1967

lol

it won't be him, he doesn't want to do interviews

I vote for Timothy Olyphant

Michael Shannon.

He can continue his villain streak as Dormammu

it's fun reading the comments to every article about this and seeing everyone suggest every single white dude who's ever had a goatee

lol

man if they hadn't already used idris elba in thor...

thinking of what jared leto would be like is seriously cracking me up

elba's already been campaigning for black panther right? not like it'd be too out there, there'd just be a scene where hemsworth was like "hm you look like someone i know *audience laughter*"

i don't like actors being more than one superhero

i don't like there being so few black actors in the major motion picture sphere that actors doubling up on roles in the same universe seems normal

Craig Robinson as Luke Cage

Michael Jai White as Luke Cage

Terry Crews as Luke Cage

Andre 3000 as Black Goliath

Maclolm Jamal Warner as Bishop

They already had a Bishop- he didn't have a single line of dialogue.

is michael b jordan a marvel superhero yet?

johnny storm

cool, that's good casting

yeah that's from that fantastic four that's already announced it plans to have nothing to do w/ the comics

director from Chronicle is doing it too, actually have my hopes up for that one

considering Trank is doing it i'm not worried at all it'll get the comic book stuff done, Chronicle was basically an X-Men movie

gotg 2 happening w/gunn returning

Guardians of the Galaxy 2: Garden of the Gods

*war garden

Savage Garden

Secret of the Lost Garden

who's the guy floating in the back?

vision

cool. did not now he was in this film. can't wait to see him cry.

when did hawkeye swell to hulk-like proportions?

huh. imdb says bettany will be playing vision as well as voicing jarvis. what do you know.

xpost trick of perspective. that's actually a life-size Renner

oh heh never noticed before but i guess if movie wolverine can be 6ft movie hawkeye can be a lefty

Pym already got his own promo poster this weekend:

Michael douglas you say. At least that will spare him the indignity of contorting into some costume.

aside from gotg 2 release date (2017) nothing new outside ant-man and avengers. figured they might make some announcements.

also if they're really doing one sequel a year does that push thor 3 all the way back to 2018? tom hiddleston won't even be attractive anymore

On the latest Schmoes Know Podcast, our good friend- and overall reliable source- Devin Faraci made an interesting revelation about the direction that Marvel Studios is heading in. After discussing how the old script that Marvel had been tossing around for Doctor Strange has now ended up in the recycle bin, he drops this tidbit:

"Marvel's new thing is no more origin stories. So Doctor Strange's movie no longer has an origin. It begins in media res [literary term for "in the midst of things"]. It's got Doctor Strange all ready established as The Sorcerer Supreme. It's a totally new script [...] without any of the previous stuff. They're not even touching the previous script."

hallelujah

[literary term for "in the midst of things"]

finally!
