My gut feeling is that Marvel Studios and Coogler won't recast T'Challa, they'll just do a movie centered on Shuri and the supporting characters from the first film. could be totally wrong though. re: New Mutants, I still want to see it at some point, but it seems like the story of its production and delays are more interesting than the film itself. basically, the short version seems to be this: Fox execs hated the original cut of the film and ordered a major delay with the intent of doing extensive reshoots, but everything at Fox was in chaos during the 15 months between the announcement of the Disney acquisition and its finalization, so they kept waffling on committing more time and money to the film, leading to further delays, and by the time the merger was finalized and Boone et al. had the green light and cast availability to do reshoots, it had been close to two years since principal photography wrapped and too much of the cast had aged too noticeably for reshoots to be viable. so what's in theaters now is basically identical to what would have been released in April 2018 had the delays not happened and all this was pointless lol

someone speculated that Majors was cast now so he can appear in Loki, which isn't that implausible given the TVA's involvement and since I haven't heard much to suggest that AM3 is particularly close to starting production, but who knows anyway, get ready for Black Widow and the rest of the future MCU slate to be delayed yet again, even though I thought half the reason Disney launched Disney+ Premier Access was so they wouldn't have to do that again, but maybe Mulan's performance has been underwhelming on the service, idk https://twitter.com/Variety/status/1305922067141980160

Arist posted:If they go "we're going to put Black Widow and Eternals on regular Disney+," I bet a significant number of people wouldn't bother canceling in between. The problem is that from what I hear Disney+ actually has pretty decent retention numbers already, so they may have already made most of the money they would have there. yeah, you may be right. their original content has been pretty underwhelming this year and has suffered badly from the delays of the Marvel Studios series, IMO, but then, I'm not a parent

Arist posted:They were definitely supposed to have Falcon and Winter Soldier by now, but they absolutely launched too early. their plan seemed to be to coast on the back catalog for the first seven months of 2020, then have FatWS, Mando S2, and WandaVision pick things up for the last five months of the year, before kicking their originals pipeline into full gear for 2021 and beyond. Weird but not necessarily terrible given the strength of their back catalog, but obviously COVID threw a wrench in things

Codependent Poster posted:If Daredevil showed up in say, the next Spider-Man movie, and was played by Charlie Cox, you don't have to go into any sort of origin for him. You don't have to really reference any continuity either. It's just - hey, here's Daredevil again! Now let's go tell some stories with him. never heard of that site so taking it with a massive grain of salt. anyway, it's not impossible or anything, but it's hard for me to see why Marvel Studios would bring back the Netflix actors if they're not interested in continuing the Netflix continuity, and it's even harder to see why they'd do that instead of rebooting the characters in a fashion more tonally in line with the MCU proper. but who knows, stranger things have happened

muscles like this! posted:I think a problem with her is that she already has a prior commitment for the TV series Miracle Workers and while she's not a big of a name as her costars she is the lead. A Marvel role would obviously be a bigger part but there's the problem of Marvel not having a great track record when it comes to actually doing TV stuff. Yes those failures weren't Disney + shows but I could still see someone with a steady gig being a little gunshy. she’s also 25 which might be older than Marvel Studios wants for someone who’s presumably going to be playing a teenager for a few years. Granted, that hasn’t stopped Hollywood before and afaik, she’s ethnically Indian rather than Pakistani, which may or may not be a concern Barry Convex fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Sep 20, 2020 |

I assume there will be more MCU Disney+ projects announced at the Dec. 10 investor day as part of this prioritization of Disney+.

Aphrodite posted:On the MCU side, the only thing covid delayed was Falcon and Winter Soldier. Falcon was supposed to premiere in August, which is within the first year. WandaVision also *may* have been supposed to premiere slightly earlier (I can’t recall if it was ever specified beyond TBA 2020), but only slightly if so. Production on Loki was shut down as well, and presumably some of the production start dates for series that hadn’t started filming in March (Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk) were also pushed back. There’s a decent chance we’re still getting Loki early next year, but 2021 may be pretty sparse after that.

FlamingLiberal posted:Black Widow getting delayed to next May is going to push a lot of stuff back As far as theatrical release dates go, obviously. As far as interconnected MCU plot/character continuity and Disney+ series go, it's far from clear that it would directly affect anything besides (according to rumor, anyway) FATWS; it's a prequel about a character who's already dead in present MCU continuity, not Endgame. I guess most likely Hawkeye, but as that hadn't started production, it could in theory be rewritten to remove anything that might spoil Black Widow. My prediction for now (half just because I want it to be true, only half because I actually believe it, I could be wrong) is that there will not be a third theatrical delay for BW, and that Disney will give up and just put it on Disney+ if a theatrical release doesn't look viable by mid-March or whatever the deadline for deciding that is. Which it almost certainly won't.

now, it *is* entirely possible that, say, Loki features appearances by Eternals characters (I haven't seen this rumored anywhere, mind you, it just seems like a plausible enough place for them to show up) and will now have to be delayed until sometime after November 2021, but that wouldn't directly be a result of the Black Widow delay, it's just part of the overall knock-on effects

The series is a mountain of subplots to set up for things that won't ever happen and it also operates under the train of thought that too much comic book stuff can scare the straights which I'm going to blame Jeph Loeb for because I can. IDK how much Loeb is to blame for it personally, but that was definitely a recurring problem with Marvel Television's live-action output (though AoS and Runaways at least somewhat backed away from it after their first seasons). makes me glad that we're done with that poo poo Barry Convex fucked around with this message at 17:25 on Oct 19, 2020 |

McCloud posted:I still feel the movie would have been stronger if they'd made Stark Sr an rear end in a top hat that stole ideas from Vankos father. It's rumored this was the original pitch that later got changed because they didn't want one to paint one of the main characters in that Agent Peggy spin off as a bad guy I get the feeling that Age of Ultron had similar story meddling, namely that Whedon wanted to make Stark/Banner unambiguously responsible for the creation of Ultron in the same way that Pym is in the comics, but the final script severely muddies things with the implication that the Ultron AI also came from HYDRA's experiments and/or from the Mind Gem itself.

there wasn't much news from the Disney earnings call, which isn't surprising given that they have the Disney+-focused Dec. 10 investor day that's more likely to deliver on that front, but Chapek did confirm that Mulan and Disney+ Premier Access weren't a one-off (which is interesting, given that some had assumed that releasing Soul on the standard Disney+ subscription tier meant that they saw it as a failure) and that there would be more news next month. so I guess that could be good news for anyone hoping to see Black Widow before next fall or whenever a vaccine is widely available

STAC Goat posted:We have no major insight to what happens between the Snap and Endgame. We know Carol's been working with the Avengers. I think they mention she rescued a sunken sub or something? She saved the life of Tony Stark. She blew up Thanos' war ship. She turned the tide of the entire end battle. I don't think its even remotely hard to imagine that she'd be a massive celebrity and some kids would fangirl her hard. I'm guessing there were a million cameras recording that burst of energy that shot through Thanos' ship. And can you imagine the media blitz on everyone and everything after that battle? yeah there are a lot of possible ways to address this, to be fair. although that last point gets at one of my gripes with Endgame, which was that the climactic battle at no point feels like it's taking place on the planet Earth as opposed to a generic desolate CG landscape like the Titan fight in Infinity War, though I know the script says it has to be taking place in upstate New York

howe_sam posted:This is basically Warner having zero confidence in the US movie market rebounding next year and relying on foreign markets/HBO Max subs to keep them afloat? Yes, but beyond the short term, it means that they see HBO Max subscriptions as their most important revenue stream going forward (at least in the US) and that the loss of box office revenue is worth it in the long run if it gets subscriber numbers up. it's also just not tenable for studios to keep delaying their entire release slates for months and months while they wait for something resembling normal moviegoing to resume in the US - not only are we a ways away from that point even with promising vaccine results, but there's already a massive backlog of delayed films originally dated for 2020 and earlier in 2021, which is only going to keep growing as film production has largely resumed.

while I'm sure there will be other Marvel Studios news to come from Disney's investor day tomorrow and this article doesn't offer any details in that regard, the NYT is reporting what I had expected regarding Black Widow: that there will be no Disney+ announcement, and that for now, Disney is keeping it on its current May 7 release date as a theatrical exclusive. emphasis on "for now"; I feel comfortable in predicting that this is a fantasy and that COVID vaccination rates and general audience behavior in the US won't be anywhere near where they'd need to be for that to be viable in only five months from now, but I guess they can put off making that decision until March or so. Sigh.
