How are they going to justify calling a white woman Motoko Kusanagi

Ehh, I can see them just waive off the issue since Motoko's age/ethnicity/nationality/etc. in the physical sense can vary with each iteration of the character, since her physical body is just a vessel. That said, I'm not advocating the casting of white actors in asian roles, but with Ghost in the Shell, the source material is a bit more flexible.

Apparently Dutch supermodel Doutzen Kroes was cast in an unspecified role in Wonder Woman. Seen mingling with Gal Gadot and Connie Nielsen here: https://www.instagram.com/p/BEWwmq4rWYp/ and here: https://www.instagram.com/p/BEWuTj0ObUD

I'm guessing she's Artemis? I hope she's Artemis. Can she act? I've never seen her in a movie. She sure is pretty though :allears:

Ok, cool.

So. The leaked scene doesn't show how everyone got to the airport. It starts with Spider-Man already there, where he says he's a big fan of cap. I don't mind being spoiled, so if someone could explain the context and the set up for that sequence, I'd appreciate it :) Also I did not expect Chadwick Boseman's accent to sound so badass, haha.

Yeah who needs exciting well shot and inventive action scenes


Putting those on auto pilot in an action movie is totally fine

I'll give them a pass on creativity because Civil War plays with the novelty of characters in its collection of films spanning almost a decade now being at odds with one another. I was apprehensive about the way the airport sequence was being shown in official clips, but after seeing the leak, I was surprised at how much I didn't care about the setting or the way it was shot being so bland. What made the sequence work for me, personally, were the character interactions and dialogue. Sure, it might not be a technically impressive or innovative set piece (not that it needed to be), but even without supporting context, I was engaged in the content thru the strength of the actors alone.

[edit] By comparison, there was a severe emotional disconnect for me with the action sequences in Batman v Superman, primarily the title fight and the Batmobile sequence. I'd argue they were more aesthetically pleasing than Civil War's airport set piece, but if I'm not emotionally invested what I'm watching or drawn in by an actors performance during the action, I can't find myself to enjoy it enough to deem it "good" in any way.

I haven't seem the scene in question but based on the length of black bars discussing it I'm guessing the airport fight is interrupted by Michael Pena's character from Ant-Man where he explains the misunderstanding that causes the rift between Stark and Rodgers.

This would make an amazing One-Shot.

There's no way that, after all of this buildup, they're going to be able to properly pay-off the Thanos storyline in a single movie. He's definitely going to end up being major anti-climax, I don't see any way around it.

There's a way around it. Have the climax be Thanos facing off against Cap wielding his shield and mjolnir, and have Thanos kill him.

It seems like Zack Snyder is a pretty big fan of Injustice: Gods Among Us. Incidentally, Ares is a playable character in that game. I would prefer Ares to Zeus, personally, as WW's dad. Otherwise it just feels like straight up female Hercules. However, I think there's a good chance that perhaps Wonder Woman will be told that she's the daughter of Zeus only to later learn she's actually the daughter of Ares, and that's what makes her different from her sisters.

Have you read Wonder Woman Earth One? Interestingly enough, Morrison retconned Diana's birth again, and made her the offspring of Hippolyta and Hercules. Charles Roven explicitly said Zeus is Diana's father in the DCEU though, but that'd be an interesting twist if it turned out to be Ares.

I wonder how the DCEU will handle the Amazons too. Hoping they go with post-crisis lore/full mythological, having Artemis create the Amazons from the souls of women slain by men, and transferring those souls into strengthened bodies made from clay. I think it would be cool if it turns out that Diana is the only natural born Amazon in the DCEU. It'd parallel Kal-El being the last natural born Kryptonian in a way.

Looking forward to Supermullet so hard. Also, the scene descriptions were really great, especially the bit between Bruce and Barry:

Justice League Scene Description posted:

The scene follows Ezra Miller as Barry Allen, entering an abandoned brick building with lots of colorful graffiti which he has co-opted for his home. He turns on the power and his apartment lights up with tons of computer monitors all over the place. The light reveals Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne sitting in a chair.

“Barry Allen, Bruce Wayne.”

“You said that like it explains why there’s a total stranger in my place sitting in my second favorite chair,” quips Allen.

“Tell me about this…” Wayne presents Allen a printout showing the security footage of Allen which was retrieved from Lex Luthor’s hard drive in Batman v Superman. Allen looks at the paper incredulously.

“This is… uhh… a person who looks exactly like me but is definitely not me. Somebody, hippy, long hair. Very attractive Jewish boy… who drinks milk. I don’t drink milk.”

Wayne is not amused. “I know you have abilities, I just don’t know what they are…”

Allen quips, “My special skills include viola, web design, fluent in sign language, gorilla sign language…”

Wayne has stopped listening and is admiring Allen’s prototype Flash costume which is in the middle of the room.

Looking closer at the Flash suit, Wayne notices its made of “silicon base and quartz fabric, heat resistant.”

Allen tries to explain what the superhero costume is for: “Yeah, I also do ice dancing.”

“They use it on the space shuttle to keep it from burning up on reentry,” comments Wayne.

Barry responds that the suit is for “very competitive ice dancing.” Barry turns and continues, “Look man, I don’t know who you are but whoever you’re looking for is not me.”

While Barry is turned, Bruce Wayne takes the opening to chuck a Batarang at the young superhero. Almost instantly time slows down and we are engulfed into Barry Allen’s world of slow-motion as he dodges the incoming weapon and notices that it’s a metal throwing star in the form of the Batman logo. He reaches out and grabs it, catching it.

We transition into real time as Barry looks at Bruce, “You’re the Batman?

Bruce now understands, “So you’re fast?”

Barry remarks, “That feels like an over simplification.”

Bruce is not amused, so he gets to the point: “I’m putting together a team, people with special abilities. You see, I believe enemies are coming…”

Allen interrupts him, “Stop right there, I’m in!”

Wayne surprised, “Just like that?”

“Yeah,” responds Allen, taking a few seconds to admit, “I need friends.”

“Great,” says Wayne relieved.

Barry still looking at the Batarang, “Can I keep this?”

So it looks like Jason Fuchs (Ice Age: Continental Drift, Pan) didn't pen the screenplay for the upcoming Wonder Woman movie. Instead it was written by Geoff Johns and Allan Heinberg, with the story by Heinberg and Zack Snyder. http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20160711006437/en/Warner-Bros.-Pictures-Brings-Heroes-Magic-Myth

Neither suit is that good, but actual metal armor on a character who's defined for being fast, agile, and flexible feels off to me. The fact that it reminds me of the Accelerator Suits from the live action GI Joe movie just makes it feel silly on top of that.

Based on the Justice League set visit that the press blogged about last month, the DCEU Flash suit isn't made of metal armor. During the Wayne/Allen scene in the JL trailer, Bruce is admiring Barry's suit and while taking a closer look he says "silicon base and quartz fabric, heat resistant.... they use it on the space shuttle to keep it from burning up on reentry.”

Also, Ezra was dressed up as Gandalf while on stage during the JL panel, lmao :allears:
