It's probably his dog. And he hopefully will voice it. James Gunn always has the best director cameos in his films.

Sinister was pretty good I thought, especially so for a horror film, but I just don't have much interest in Strange at all.

Me neither, but I do like the fact that Marvel is at least attempting to make movies that aren't just your typical superhero fare, starting with GotG.

I hope this upcoming Dr. Strange film, probably directed by the guy who did Underworld 3, is either Lynchian or Lovecraftian.

Doctor Strange movie apparently has a director! I haven't seen any of the movies the director has done though, so I can't judge on quality

But Marvel are totally doing Black Panther or Captain Marvel :v:

I liked Sinister for what it was and good for that guy for moving past being known as the director of the terrible Day the Earth Stood Still remake and a bunch of terrible direct to DVD horror sequels.

Add Shuma-Gorath to the script and give the project to Cronenberg

Honestly, that isn't a bad idea. If you see Captain America as a WWII movie with superheroes (at least the first part) and Thor as a fantasy movie with superheroes, a horror movie with superheroes isn't a bad idea at all.

That's a really good way of looking at it, and kind of illustrates (for me) the difference between the good comic movies and the not so good.

Cap 2 is a spy movie, that deals with comic book characters
X-men movies, are comic book movies (Haven't seen DOFP)

The Amazing Spider-Man movies, are sci-fi movies with comic book characters
Man of Steel, is a comic book movie

And that's not even saying that the "comic book" movies are bad, they just have different focus. If you took Cap out of TWS and replaced him with James Bond, very little would have changed and you'd still have a good movie. If you took away the comic book elements of Man of Steel and just had it be about invading aliens with super strength, but we're saved by the good one, it would lose a lot.


Unrelated, I had a question about Amazing Spider-man 2 as I finally had a chance to see it this past weekend. For the past two movies and probably the last 12 years, Peter has been trying to find out what happened to his parents. In this movie, we find out that they have been (falsely) branded as traitors by the US government. Isn't that kind of thing public knowledge? I mean, sure, Aunt May might have been able to hide the fact that FBI agents came to the house looking for Richard and Mary, but wouldn't a google search show that these two people disappeared, after betraying their government? I can understand wanting to know the whole story and the truth, but wouldn't that have been one of the first things he found out about?

I can kinda see Feige in a meeting with the Disney brass and pitching Captain Marvel or Black Widow...

I don't see why Avengers 3 can't be Cap Thor Iron Man with Elsa, Tiana, Indy, Chewie and Kuzsco taking on Thanos.

Maybe Capt. Marvel on a Skrull vs Kree war with some Star Wars thrown in. Or Indy finding Atlantis and Namor.

The reason companies that own a million IPs don't regularly do this sort of thing is that a failed project can damage a brand. The more brands you involve, the more damage you're risking if the movie is horrible.

Thanos is going to be in GotG a lot more than I thought:

quote:


Though Thanos didn't appear until the very end of The Avengers, Vulture has learned that he'll emerge in the first act of Guardians of the Galaxy. Thanos will be communicating remotely via hologram for most of the film — a move the Mad Titan likely cribbed from the equally enigmatic Emperor Palpatine in The Empire Strikes Back — though he does show up in the purple flesh for a scene that also features Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace) and Nebula (Karen Gillan), who do Thanos's bidding and serve as the primary adversaries in Guardians. Still, though Thanos is only briefly glimpsed throughout Guardians, his presence is palpable throughout: Characters reference him often and fearfully, and he has familial ties to Gamora (Zoe Saldana), our green-skinned female lead.

Well I think his idea is, an Accuser is essentially a Judge of the Kree right? So if Ronan is a Kree official, why is he following orders/doing the bidding of Thanos? They may be separating Ronan's being Kree from Ronan actually being involved with his people in the film, i.e. he's a Kree but other than that they aren't really involved at all in the plot.

Edit: Well I will agree, it's pointless to speculate.

Or maybe Thanos has subjugated the Kree or something. It's pointless to speculate, we'll find out soon enough.

Being in a scene together doesn't necessarily mean working together but I guess we'll see. Marvel Cosmic is complex as poo poo with multiple factions running around doing poo poo so I imagine it's going to be greatly simplified for the big screen.

They are criminals so he could just be looking for them to judge them, and Thanos has the same goal at that time.
