I liked Silver Surfer when I was a kid. I was surprised when it seemed like they couldn't figure out how to make a movie about him and Galactus, but I'm sure they'll find a way to fold that poo poo into MCU. Anyways, it's all bad.

The real villain with the Infinity Gauntlet should have been Reed Richards. Although I guess Rick and Morty sorta ruined the idea of the Council of Reeds.

I found the airport fight with all the heroes in Civil War kinda stifling. In a comic it's fine if Ant-Man just gets brought in for a cameo, but in a movie not so much. And this is going to be way way more characters. All the same, I'll give it a shot. Hope Thanos manages to be an interesting character like they more or less promised. James Spader managed to do a lot with Ultron, I hope Brolin gives a gently caress.

Nine movies featuring Iron Man in the last 11 years. Before that, Robert Downey Jr. had recently done A Scanner Darkly and Zodiac. What a bummer that we're wasting all these stars on this recycled garbage.

Cate Blanchett also explained in an interview that it's a terrific amount of money for a simple, easy role. And for her personally, she enjoyed being a comic book supervillain as a relaxing break from strenuous work as an actress. All Wahiti asked her to do was ham it up, and she obliged. Have to imagine that's a common sentiment.

Also RDJ is keenly aware of how badly he pissed away some of his career and how hard it was for him to get work for a while so he's very grateful for the steady work.

I'm glad she enjoyed her vacation from strenuous elite living while franchise films and the choads who peddle them continued to kill off what remains of the specialty box office.

this is going to be a mind blower but a lot of moviegoers think big dumb superhero movies are fun and a lot of actors share that sentiment + they get paid a lot to do it and be every little kids hero which is probably neat but yeah they should all be eaten by rats or nuked from orbit or whatever

Also I assume movie stars with kids like being in movies their kids like. I mean.... that's probably why we are getting Beyonce as Nala in the new Lion King. Because Blue Ivy is the right age. I'm so excited for Infinity War. I am so happy and lucky to be alive in the era of the MCU. It's just so cool to have all these fun super hero movies with cameos and references and then big jam packed movies with all of them. It's exciting and fun and awesome and I've been on board fully since Iron Man 1. My dad used to read me his old Jack Kirby Fantastic Four comics when i was a kid and I *loved* Black Panther so much. And now, not only has he been in a movie already, he's getting his OWN movie and then he's going to be in a giant team up movie with Spiderman and Thor the Guardians of the Galaxy. It's just so so so so awesome.

Oh, gently caress off. Acting is one of the least stable professions you can imagine. Christopher Lee freely admitted that he took a vast number of his roles because it was a pay packet and you never knew where the next one was coming from. Another star - I forget who, but it was someone you've heard of - was once asked if he regretted having been in some infamously lovely movie and he said "No. Every time I see it I think, that paid for my house".

He was very open about how he wanted to be in something his kids would watch, and took additional acting classes because he didn't want to disappoint his kids. Going back a ways, that's why Raul Julia played Bison in the Street Fighter movie. Or to take Cate Blanchett's interview about playing Hela, it's very relaxing for very talented actors sometimes to take a fun, easy role that demands nothing of them and I think it shows how much she was enjoying herself.

And it's accepted wisdom at this point that the entire middle of the film industry output has been hollowed out in favor of gigantic blockbusters and small indies, and the gigantic blockbusters are so big and expensive that Disney et al need certainty that they'll make their money back by sticking with safe, established franchises. This was all pretty inevitable, it just bums me out.

Going back a ways, that's why Raul Julia played Bison in the Street Fighter movie. I consider these to be two different cases. Bautista literally has a film career now because of his turn in GotG, and I'm glad of it because he shows a lot of promise in both that and Blade Runner. Veteran actors on the other hand have no excuse for feeding this beast time and again. Cythereal posted:Don't blame actors for the decisions of studios.

Nobody really cares about the F4 themselves except Marvel diehards, so they're not really hotly demanded on their own, but the Surfer, Galactus, and the Skrulls are tied up in that rights package, and Fox is keenly aware of how irritating this is to Marvel (since they have to rework their cosmic stuff quite a bit to make stuff like GotG and Ragnarok while avoiding those three things).

Yeah, SS is absolutely the most interesting thing from the Marvel Galaxy side of things, and represents what I find to be a perfect balance of all the things that made Jack Kirby the best of the best. Kirby was so loving out there as an imaginative talent compared to the business-savvy Lee that he managed to invent not only the best parts of the Marvelverse... but the DCverse as well.

I think New Mutants and X-Force will be the same. They're still making expensive movies like Dark Phoenix of course. edit: Don't forget Blumhouse is producing a Spawn movie that cost about 10 million.

His son was sad because he thought a black kid could never be Spider-Man. So Djimon took/got a role in a comic book movie... playing a nameless mook working for the villain. I hope they enjoy Black Panther a lot.
