Although, last I heard apparently one of the FunkoPops! for that movie is one of the most expensive and rare ones out there (because they didn't actually get merchandising rights for Tom Cruise's likeness or something like that so they had to recall the ones of his character). And we can't forget that trailer they uploaded where they forgot to put in the sound effects. I hope we get a book about the Dark Universe, because it sounds like it was a poo poo-show from top to bottom. For every decent idea there were at least two dumb ones.

Like if there was a future of Marvel shoot in like 2008 and it was RDJ, Hemsworth, Evans, and Geoff Bridges. She is really entertaining in everything and needs more roles

Only thing I remember about The Dark Universe Presents: The Mummy is that stupid fight between Cruise and Russell Crowe as Mr. Hyde. I actually forgot the movie ends with Tom being the mummy now, lol.

I won't lie, I would go see a movie that was just 120 minutes of Michael Keaton's Vulture trying to explain who Spider-Man is to a bunch of C-list Spider-Man villains who have never heard of Spider-Man. Here's a scene from Sony Pictures' "The Gibbon:" VULTURE: So, are you in or out? GIBBON: Yeah, sorry, I'm just still kind of confused. Spider-Man is...? VULTURE: [pinches bridge of nose] Okay, for the last time...he's a high school kid who took my kid to prom. He's got super-powers, he stopped me from stealing some poo poo from the Avengers... GIBBON: Avengers? VULTURE: Wait, stop, forget it, don't worry about the Avengers, we're talking about Spider-Man! GIBBON: And you want to kill this Spider-kid? VULTURE: Well...I mean, yeah but no. Like, he beat me up and put me in prison, but I kinda respect him, you know? He's a good kid, but now I want to... [pause] To be honest, I'm not exactly sure where I'm at with him right now. GIBBON: Yeah, all right, that's...I'm just going to leave, okay?

Tom Cruise is famously very protective of his likeness rights so even something like similar hair probably was enough for him to go after them.

That's fair enough. I kind of assume that things like FunkoPops and LEGO minifigures are generic enough that you don't really need likeness rights. After Disney dropped Carano for being a piece of poo poo (loudly) her character and likeness disappeared from all Mandalorian merchandise pretty quickly, with the exception of one LEGO set released since. I assumed that only got released since the minifig of the character only looks somewhat like her and cartoony and not being actually modelled on her.

The character doesn't necessarily have to go away. Disney easily could just use Cara Dune in animation and completely separate her from Gina Carano. Or just recast, obviously.

Agreed, I liked the character and I'd like her to stick around. Carano can gently caress right off though. Disney needs to stop being afraid of recasting, both for situations like this and stop using AI & CGI to de-age actors.

twistedmentat posted:Was that because Tom Cruise was going to the The Mummy? I never bothered watching it because the movie looked bad and it seemed way to enamored with the concept of someone having two irises. It almost feels like the movie was built around that shot. Like how Oz the Great and powerful almost feels entirely build around the shot of the Wicked Witch crying and her tears scarring her face. The best take on this is from Wicked. Where the rumour that the Wicked Witch of the West will melt if she gets wet is started by superstitious town folk. So at the end when the Witch decides to fake her own death, she does so by playing into the rumour that water will melt her.

After Disney had to mobilize their own twitter, Ewan McGregor, and even Anson Mount for some reason to defend the very concept of a Black Inquisitor against an onslaught of racist bullshit, I would not envy whoever gets recast in the role last held by every chud's favorite muscle lady.

Recast Cara Dune with Frankie Adams. You get another muscle lady who also is a giant pacific islander lady. That would really piss off the chuds.

Just create a new character, not everyone has to come back and have more adventures and that's just fine. It's a lesson they should apply to a host of Star Wars characters really. It's a big loving galaxy, there's plenty of room to find new people with stories worth telling.

Because she’s a Mandalorian side character and having recurring friend/associate characters like that enhances a show. Creating new characters to occupy the same role because you don’t have a specific guest star anymore is stuff bad shows like Star Trek do.

Kraven the Animal Lover doesn't really have the same ring to it. Something along the lines of Pete Postlethwait's character in The Lost World would be better - respectful but ready to put a lion into a figure four leglock if it comes down to it.

Sony can't make up new Marvel characters, and without the Spider-Man connection even fewer people would see it.

Kraven was like one of a very small group of major Spider-Man villains who had never been in a film. Which is disappointing because you could make a good film with him as either the main villain or a secondary one. It looks like in the sequel to Sony's 2018 Spider-Man game, we are getting both Venom and Kraven, which I think is a good mix.

How many people saw Morbius because they were like “oh yeah, that guy is a b-list Spider-Man villain, I definitely want to see a movie starring him!”
