in case anyone else is lost, my surprise is that the movie is actually (likely) happening, not that people are imagining who'd play a superhero

(though the movie still might not happen - VenomCarnage and Fantastic Four 2 were once posted in five-year-plans too)
I was reading another thing where Vin (Mr. Diesel?) was yet again dropping cryptic hints about playing a second Marvel character that wouldn't require the employment of his voice. Someone in the comments suggested that he was talking about Lockjaw.

looks smaller scale than I expected, which is probably good?

definitely a direct continuation of the second one anyway, rather than Avengers 2.5

Ryan Coogler is directing Black Panther and Taika Waititi is directing Thor, so I guess I'll be watching at least two more of these things.

Huh, totally missed that they're moving forward on a "Damage Control" TV spin-off.

Taika Waititi has got to be the oddest choice for one of these I've heard. I wonder if Thor movie will be a pseudo-doc about Asgard...
― One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Monday, 18 January 2016 15:21 (eight years ago) link
Also a Mockingbird spin-off (probably limited a la Agent Carter) and supposedly another sitcom-y show alongside Damage Control on ABC. And possibly a Netflix Punisher show.

we should start a "which Marvel show or movie will be the tipping point" thread except it's more likely that DC will overdo it first and flip the table for everyone
― Copy rights, pleasing all star wars fans, hiring professionals. (forksclovetofu), Monday, 18 January 2016 15:28 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, I'm amazed at this point that Marvel has yet to seriously stumble and that most of what they've put out has been really solid.
― Professor Bworlph (Old Lunch), Monday, 18 January 2016 15:44 (eight years ago) link
Although the sitcoms admittedly make me wary.
not much odder than the Russo brothers really

Kenneth Branagh directing Thor I!

"not much odder than the Russo brothers really"
I think it's much odder than the Russo brothers. Those guys are professional Hollywood types.
― One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Monday, 18 January 2016 17:00 (eight years ago) link
Branagh choice seemed odder for him, until he followed it up with Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit.

Advertised "From the director of Thor!" so good tactical move, I guess.

I guess. He wrote the script for this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moana_(2016_film) anyway so I guess Disney are high on him

sold!
“There’s a little bit of Midnight Run, with Grodin and De Niro,” Ruffalo told Empire. "I feel like that’s kind of where we’re heading with this relationship between Thor and Banner.” So is it a road movie? “It is a universal road movie – that’s where we’re heading,” he says, adding cryptically: “It’s not where you'd think it will be, so it’s not your classic road movie but it has that structure, I think."

The MCU feels like major league baseball now. Nobody's making art, nobody's under the mistaken impression that they're making art, it's all firmly a part of the entertainment-industrial complex and that's cool. Feige is the commissioner, onscreen talent = on-field talent, Hemsworth and Evans are reliable innings-eaters, Jenny Agutter is a left-handed bench piece, Netflix and ABC are triple-A and double-A, Taika Waititi is that kid who jumped straight from being Crash Davis to managing A-ball for two years to getting the job managing the Padres.

Yeah, I don't think a "b-b-but this is my movie!!!" primadonna would get very far in today's MCU.

OTOH, even as they've demonstrated a willingness to recast when necessary, Hemsworth is probably one of the rare, indispensable members of that crew. Casting a burly, charismatic dude who doesn't come off as a douche is quite a coup.
― she pnuched me in my weinre when I was asleep (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 26 January 2016 00:40 (eight years ago) link
The MLB analogy works pretty well- still, curious to see how they recast Iron Man & Cap as they eventually must.

A lot of speculation that Steve Rogers is a goner. Read Bucky's lips when he's grabbing Stark's arc reactor from his chest

If that means they're gonna do SamCap, I'm okay with it
― its subtle brume (DJP), Tuesday, 26 January 2016 13:43 (eight years ago) link
Downey is probably a bigger coup (as well as the keystone of the whole thing) - get a total dick to play a total dick because he's a total dick, and still be charming.

I'm no lip reader, so what's he supposed to say? "Steve's dead"?
If they're following the Death of Cap storyline from the comics, there'll be a BuckyCap before SamCap... Though presumably, even if Steve dies, he'll be back from the dead to fight Thanos in the next Avengers movie. Can't imagine them adapting the Infinity Gauntlet and not using that iconic scene.

On the "possibly maybe true" rumor front: Yondu and Nebula will be joing the GotG in the next film alongside newcomer Mantis. And apparently Ego the Living Planet will factor in somehow.

I could take or leave Spider-Man, but I find it a big bummer that there is no legal room for Galactus in the current MCU movies.

I'd be a little sad to see Galactus or Doom without the FF to foil them though.

Anyone else feel like the Russo brothers did a better ensemble cast film with Winter Solider than the mess that Age of Ultron ended up being? The asides with each character having a plot arc through the confrontation of their fears after being zapped by the Scarlet Witch just dragged the whole film down with exposition, imo.
They might run into the same issue with their Civil War take, but I'm optimistic.
― μpright mammal (mh), Tuesday, 26 January 2016 16:09 (eight years ago) link
As much as I like Winter Soldier I wouldn't give the Russos credit for being more successful on that end, rather that there's just so many more characters, storylines, tie-ins to future Marvel movies that had to be juggled in Ultron, it was much tougher. Sound like Whedon went nuts, and and having seen the full version of that Thor possession scene they forced him to shoot, I can't blame him. I'm guessing it'll be similarly muddy for Civil War with all the noobs. Expecting characters like Sam Wilson and Ultron to get actual development in that movie, too, so...
