karl urban would be a great captain britainor wolverineor almost any male superhero tbhHe's already had a sizable role in the MCU, it'd be a bit weird if they recast him as someone else. Tho they did do that with Alfre Woodard, but her earlier role was fairly minor.
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 25 September 2018 05:43 (five years ago) link
Nah just give him multiple roles like Jack Nicholson in Mars Attacks
― Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 25 September 2018 06:35 (five years ago) link
Chris Evans is on film as the Human Torch and Captain America. They could probably start recasting the same actor in different roles and by now few would notice. Especially someone like Urban, who does a pretty good job disappearing. That is, that the same guy that can play Bones in Star Trek can play various heavies in the MCU or otherwise is pretty impressive. Acting!

Fantastic Four =/= MCU! At least not before now. Since the Fox acquisition I expect a watchable MCU FF movie at some point down the road.

Oh hey so I slept on it way too long but I'm happy to report (halfway through the season thus far) that Cloak and Dagger is actually better than some of the Netflix shows. So, y'know, check it out.

Consistent, focused, compelling characters, well-acted, etc. It might actually help that there isn't a capital-v Villain per se (the big bads are a crooked cop and Roxxon, basically).

I thought season 2 of Iron Fist was much improved (I mean, how could it not be), but this is still at least maybe three times as good.

I watched the Cloak & Dagger pilot and was immediately put off by "Hey, attempted rape as a character motivation/plot point AGAIN" thing. I'm so sick of it. It's what made me not watch Bates Motel after seeing it happen to Vera Farmiga in the pilot.

Writers, there are other ways to push your female protagonists to their crisis points without raping them. See if you can think of some!

Shang-Chi film announced. Figured he would eventually pop up among the Netflix crew but, uh, it sound like all them shits are being cancelled.

Surprising choice but if they channel the Moench/Gulacy years I'm all for it. Presumably any Sax Rohmer characters would be renamed.

Many shots of a trainer hustling his buns off while shakes stands on the sidelines rolling his eyes and then walks directly up to the trainer and emphatically rolls his eyes to make sure the gesture wasn't somehow overlooked.

The 7th grader whose mom bought him white jeans and a black turtleneck, so he could look like Shang-Chi, is rejoicing at that movie announcement. Hope they've budgeted "Rhiannon" for the soundtrack.

Two Namor omnibi announced in quick succession got my spidey sense tingling and sure enough, rumors are circulating that Marvel has the rights again and a film may be afoot.
At least part of the upcoming slate has to be dropping right after Endgame, as a multitude of projects are seemingly well underway with few/no official announcements beyond Spider-Man: Far From Home. Like I just read a thing that Dr. Strange 2 may be released next year, which has to mean that they've at least started filming.

Ghost Rider already appeared in Agents of SHIELD, would they be treating it as a separate continuity then, like DC does with it's TV series and movies?
― Tuomas, Monday, 8 April 2019 20:37 (five years ago) link
That was muscle car Ghost Rider, movie would presumably be original motorcycle Ghost Rider (not horse Ghost Rider, cyber Ghost Rider, ex-ILX poster ghost rider, or other motorcycle Ghost Rider(s)). hth
― Vernon Locke, Monday, 8 April 2019 23:52 (five years ago) link
Oh yeah, I guess I hadn't thought of that. IMO Ghost Rider has always been a rather boring character concept, but I the movie could be a bit more interesting if it featured Johnny Blaze and was a Captain Marvel style period piece set in the '70s, so it could be informed by the interests of that decade (trick motorcyclists, occultism, etc), just like first GR comic was.Having it set in a time period where there are (pretty much) no superheroes would also help alleviate the fact that Ghost Rider feels out of place in the fairly secular MCU (which was already evident in the Agents of SHIELD), as opposed to the comic book Marvel universe, where demons and deities lurk around every every corner.
