Lord Liaden Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 What's really cool is, nowadays there's ample reason to hope they could actually be signed to do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slikmar Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 I absolutely agree with his Ms. Marvel choice. Blade does not need a reboot, or to appear in the MCU, since then you will be adding a whole different realm of villains. I actually wouldn't mind them using Kingsley again for the Mandarin and say he was only acting the way he did. His choice for a new Mandarin would be good too though. Adam Warlock needs to be set up for Infinity War and possess the last of the gems. Nova would also be good to add in there. Since Punisher is already cast and going to appear on Daredevil (in a way that shows DD that you can go to far, I hope, as I am not a big fan of Punisher). His thoughts on Medusa are good, but I think the Actress may be a little old for the role, as we would be looking 2-3 years down the road. But Medusa doesn't have to be young, so could work. I like his idea for Black Bolt also and think Diesel would do it. Kind of an opposite of Groot, where he does voice only. Ghost Rider could be interesting, but not really needed.

I remember reading or watching a video that Marvel/Kevin Feige takes note of those sort of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grailknight Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 There will never be a Chinese Mandarin on the silver screen. Well, they could if they were willing to sacrifice a third of the box office and didn't plan on selling anything there again. But I think we know how short that thought process would be.

Burrito Boy Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 There will never be a Chinese Mandarin on the silver screen. Not when you can get Max von Sydow to play him like he played Ming the Merciless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher R Taylor Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 It didn't have to go that way. If they made the Mandarin a throwback, a guy who wanted to get rid of the current Chinese government and impose a monarchy (as implied by his name and costuming in the comics) then the Chinese government would have no problem whatsoever with him as a villain that gets beaten. The choice wasn't about that, I suspect. It was about trying to keep a tech theme, and I strongly, strongly suspect Iron Man 3 was a script they bought a long time ago and adapted to the Iron Man franchise.

Lord Liaden Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 IIRC, according to the director/writer, Shane Black, his approach to the Mandarin was in part a direct commentary on the ethnic and cultural stereotyping of radical terrorists in contemporary pop culture and media. By having the real villain of his movie cynically manipulate those stereotypes, Black pointed out their inherent superficiality, and how they obscure the other political and economic issues which have contributed to the conflicts.

I remember a series of panels in an older Iron Man comic where The Mandarin, in a demonstration of power, teleports young Chinese soldiers to the MOON and lets them asphyxiate to death. The political leaders that witness this are visibly shaken, and it's clear that his methods are too extreme even for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza Posted June 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 The ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Sequel Will Be Titled ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’http://screencrush.com/guardians-of-the-galaxy-sequel-title James Gunn: Yes, the official title of the sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.Kevin Feige recently let the title slip while doing Ant-Man press, which I'm really happy about because God knows I've let more than one thing slip accidentally while chattering away on this FB page.Also, hats off to some intrepid fans who figured out the title a couple of days after I posted the cover page. More than one person guessed "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" - I wanted so badly to give you props at the time, but knew I had to wait.For Kevin to mess up. Haha.PS ANT-MAN PREMIERE TONIGHT AND I AM STOKED! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, that is something I hope never to repeat and don’t wish upon anybody else." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmjalund Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 I thought Avengers 3 & 4 counted as one movie for the purposes of contracts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
薔薇語 Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 I learned recently that a filming contract can not exceed ten years. So, unless Marvel gets to work quick on 3 & 4, they may be forced to renegotiate their deals with the actors. Foreign Orchid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywind Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 How so? RDJ only did Iron Man 7-8 years ago. He's already had to renegotiate to finish through Infinity War. Everyone else came after him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slikmar Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 I had been reading up a lot on the contracts for the actors and how many each had signed for and stuff, and thought something was kind of impressive. Marvel isn't the first studio to sign actors to multiple movie contracts, but I think it says a lot about the quality of the movies they have done that not only is everyone of those contracts going to possibly expire, but that they may have to either resign (doubtful in most cases) or recast the characters. There aren't a lot of studios that have been able to do that. I was sorry to read about the director from Thor 2 and would be curious in what way the movie became a different thing between filming and editing. http://www.nme.com/filmandtv/news/-thor-2-director-alan-taylor-says-working-with-mar/382338 His is not the first story we have heard about working with marvel not being great, but a big part of that, I believe, is Marvel has a plan and some of these creative people don't like the constraints.

Greywind Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 It's just one more thing, is all. Favreau left because he wanted to do an Iron Man movie and not a stepping stone. Branagh left Thor because Marvel insisted instead of letting Branagh make the movie he wanted to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many directors of films of Marvel Studios are sill with them after one film? I can count the Russo brothers, and GotG director, and believe just about every other director has had a falling out with them. Taylor would make for I think think of off the top of my head. Exception to that, are the director of Cap 1 wasn't hired for Cap 2 because Marvel specifically hired him for a WW2 film. And IM3 director was hired for that film. And I posted a link ago an article on the previous page about Taylor dissatisfaction the way Thor 2 was edited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywind Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Joe Johnston was hired to do a WWII movie with Cap. Shane Black was hired for IM3 because Favreau walked away after the crap Marvel put him through on IM2. Branagh walked away after the crap from filming Thor. Whedon has done A1 and A2. Whedon was apparently the reason that Ruffalo was hired on as Banner. Norton's rep as difficult made it so Whedon did not want to work with him. We know Wright walked away from Ant-Man after pushing it from about the time of the first Iron Man movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
