Marvel Live-Action TV and Film General News and Discussion Thread

It looks pretty cool. I know the size-changing shenanigans make absolutely no sense in any realm of physics, but I really like them.

And that answers the question everybody has been asking; what’s happening with Scott due to his siding with Cap against the government in Civil War. I guess he doesn’t get that much recognition for whatever role he plays in Infinity War. (and he is in Infinity War despite his absence in the trailer, according to casting)

I just want to mention something I noticed in both the Japanese and Chinese video sites, concerning MCU trailers. Both viewers seemed to mention how Black Widow from Avengers3 and Hope from AatW look extremely OLD.

I guess it can't be helped, that Caucasian women physically age faster than Asian women in terms of wrinkles. The Japanese and Chinese viewers just couldn't get used to that.

Happy 10th Anniversary to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Well no surprise that the movies will keep on coming .

And this time they don't feel the pressure to actually announce titles so far in advance. Let people know movies are coming, but keep some surprises up the sleeve. All the more so with the next Avengers movies coming up.

[MrTerrorist]

X-MEN DARK PHOENIX has been delayed to February 14th, 2019 & NEW MUTANTS has been delayed to August 2nd, 2019.

This worries me if these films are getting delayed this far.

And for some good news.

Lee Pace, Djimon Hounsou and Clark Gregg will be in the film as their MCU characters Ronan, Korath and Agent Coulson!

The Creator of Avengers: Infinity War Villain Thanos
Hates Marvel Comics’ Guts:

"“I’m not an angry person, which you can probably hear from just me talking to you,”
Jim Starlin tells me over the phone. Then he sighs. “But Marvel tends to bring out the
worst in me, at times.”

That’s a bitterly ironic statement, given what the multi-billion-dollar Marvel brand
owes to Starlin. The 70-year-old writer-artist is a giant in the comic-book industry,
with hundreds upon hundreds of credits to his name. He’s primarily known as the
leading light of so-called “Marvel Cosmic,” the general term applied to the company’s
printed tales of trippy adventuring through the far reaches of time and space. Most
important, he’s the guy without whom this month’s Marvel mega-blockbuster movie
Avengers: Infinity War couldn’t have happened — in the pages of his comics, he
created its supervillain, the intergalactic killer Thanos, as well as its magical
MacGuffin, the Infinity Gauntlet.

And he swears he’ll never make another comic for Marvel again."

Thanos when he was created, is really nothing like who he is now. Thanos ended up evolving into Marvel's version of Darkseid. But when he was originally written he wasn't that powerful. In the end even Starlin admit that Darkseid is the original inspiration.

Regardless, IMHO, the guy should be credited and acknowledged as the original creator of both the character and the concept behind the Infinity Stones, shouldn't he? I mean, the relationship between him and the publisher may well be irrevocably poisoned, but... it would be, at least, good PR.

Even if it's just for a little while, you know?

The thing is, the comics and the MCU are basically run by different people now. Ike's fallout with Feige means that the two divisions are no longer on speaking terms, and it gets to the point where the comics killed Warmachine only because the comic division thought Rhodey died in MCU Civil War from watching the film trailer.

There is basically no cooperation between the comics and the MCU, so what you are asking for is impossible.

[BetoJR]

Thankfully, Jim Starlin got due credits in the movie, after all - and was shown in good company at the LA premiere. All in all, I'd say he's got a better relationship with the movie people than the comics side, at least (even if only marginally).

As for it being impossible... Recognizing original creators, even if not monetarily, is always the right thing to do.

It may even be a pyrrhic victory, but it's still the right way, IMHO.

‘Inhumans,’ ‘Deception,’ ‘The Crossing,’ ‘Kevin Probably Saves the World’ Canceled by ABC

Good! Let us never speak of the Inhumans show again and pretend it's not part of the MCU. I want the real Black Bolt staring Vin Diesel and this time in a movie.

I don't think that's going to happen. At least, not for a very long time, mate.

Does Cloak and Dagger go here?

Caught it yesterday. Seems good so far.

[Ruki0089]

Just hoping it won't end like Inhuman...

[Twi]

We've got a shady company and corrupt cops. I don't see those being toppled in a single season.

At the same time... Tandy's current boyfriend is dead. I mean, Cloak and Dagger always end up together, so we know his hopes of marrying her are going down the drain soon. I also like how the girl is the one who has faith in god but most likely to cut someone, while the guy wants to vent his rage but no one is letting him.

Hopefully that means Hawkeye and Ant-man are sealed for the deal. They probably have some pretty strong motivation for joining the fight, after all.

But what the heck is Hulk wearing?
