Curt McGirt Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 So who's gonna be the villain for this new Dr. Strange? I guess the last one's was Dormammu, from reading the Wiki? I didn't even see that (not the only Marvel Movie Blindspot I have... I might get heat from some of y'all if I told you what I haven't seen yet).

Curt McGirt Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) Huh, unfamiliar. Don't remember him from Ghost Rider either (which I did read unlike Dr. Strange). EDIT: Nevermind, now I do!

Casey Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) Lots of rumors that Dr. Strange got pushed back to March 2022. EDIT: Deadline confirmed it. Spider-Man 3 takes it’s previous date in November 2021. Edited April 25, 2020 by Casey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Those exact new days plus a couple more Dr Strange - March 25, 2022 Spider-Man 3 - Nov 5, 2021 Thor Love and Thunder - Feb 11 2022 (That's actually a week earlier than before) And it technically doesn't belong here but since I am on a roll Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2 will now be hitting theaters on October 7, 2022. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 There will be 4 Marvel movies in a 5 month period Because Black Panther 2 is May 6 and Captain Marvel 2 is July 8 Of course all of this is based on all of them being able to get everything done and not having production shut down again in fall/winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Yeah, I think all these dates are going be changed many times by the time they (eventually) come out, either in theaters or straight to streaming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spider-Man 3, Amazing Spider-Man 1 & 2, Every X-Men film except X-Men 2 & Logan... But the thing is, Marvel does at least say to it's directors "This is what we want, make that movie or leave the project". Whereas Fox tells Sam Raimi he can make his Spider-Man vs Sandman movie and then insists on crowbarring two or three movie's worth of Black Suit/ Eddie Brock/ Venom stuff, and making Harry Osborn turn from face to heel to face again. They drove him so crazy he thought 'Peter Parker gets into interpretive' dance was a great way of illustrating that the black suit makes you evil. I made a greatest comic book films of all time topic. X2 (2003), Logan (2017) and Deadpool (2016) in that order were the only X-Men films in my top twenty. I really liked X-Men (2000) and X: Men: First Class (2011) as well. X-Men: The Last Stand (2006), X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) and X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) really sucked. 22 hours ago, RIPPA said: Those exact new days plus a couple more Dr Strange - March 25, 2022 Spider-Man 3 - Nov 5, 2021 Thor Love and Thunder - Feb 11 2022 (That's actually a week earlier than before) And it technically doesn't belong here but since I am on a roll Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2 will now be hitting theaters on October 7, 2022. Long wait between Doctor Strange sequels, six years. Doctor Strange came out in 2016. That's the longest gap in the MCU. I'm looking forward to all those films you posted but especially Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2. I do expect changes due to the coronavirus crisis.

The Natural Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) So I marked Daredevil Season One turning five years old and belatedly the same for Agent Carter Season 1. I thought I'd revisit Avengers: Age of Ultron as it came out April 2015 in the UK. The movie was written and directed by Joss Whedon. In the build towards release, I predicted that critically and financially, it wouldn't do as well as Avengers Assemble (2012) and that came to pass. I've admitted when I've called things wrong before. The good stuff: the traditional Stan Lee cameo is one of his most memorable/best and he's done lots of cameos. I always welcome Hayley Atwell's Peggy Carter showing up. The sequence when the other Avengers try to become worthy to lift Mjolnir is well done and the same goes for Hulkbuster vs. The Incredible Hulk set piece. I thought Thor was the standout character here. Now the bad, Ultron is a letdown as the big bad and the moving lips design doesn't work. Some of the character designs are too busy: Captain America or don't look as good to appearances before and after this film: Iron Man's armour and Black Widow. I really didn't care for the Hulk/Black Widow romance, did nothing for me and it's a shame considering we had to wait three years to see the Incredible Hulk again after he stole the show in Avengers Assemble. The quippage doesn't have the hit rate, the language jibe gets old real fast. I'd have killed Hawkeye here. The worst of the six original Avengers by far. Avengers: Age of Ultron and Iron Man 3 (2013) are my biggest MCU letdowns. On it's own, I'd say Avengers: Age of Ultron is meh, alright with a few things going for it. When compared to it's predecessor, Captain America: Civil War (2016), an Avengers movie in all but name, Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019), it really falls short. FYI: On Disney+ in the UK, we get Marvel's The Avengers instead of Avengers Assemble as it's known here. Suits me that does.

Technico Support Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 We're going through and rewatching them all...almost finished, actually. Endgame this weekend. I have to say even the ones I remember disliking, I didn't mind as much. Maybe I'm getting soft in my old age, or maybe the series bought enough emotional capital that I appreciate all of it now. Anyway, Age of Ultron is still somewhat of a sore point for the reasons you mention. Ultron's entire characterization was pretty bad, and having the team's only woman include "emotional support and calming for one of the boys" in her role profile does not hold up at all. Just get Hulk some weed and maybe a soft rock CD and call it a day. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Mahershala Ali is going to be 50 or older by the time Blade comes out. More and more I feel like Blade either won't get made because of the mess COVID has caused or if it comes out it will be one and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Just to add on, I think I would almost rather see someone younger as Blade. Brandon Mychal Smith who played Sam on You're the Worst comes to mind. Corey Hawkins (he was Dr. Dre in Straight Outta Compton) or O'Shea Jackson Jr. also come to mind as possible good choices.

Keanu Reeves is 55 and Tom Cruise is 57 and both guys are perfectly fine in action centric roles. I think Ali will perform well in the role with the right training and preparation. 19 hours ago, Craig H said: Just to add on, I think I would almost rather see someone younger as Blade.

Rome Flynn might also be a good pick for a younger Blade. Michael B Jordan would've been my obvious Blade pick after totally fucking ruling as Killmonger only to die at the end of Black Panther. Seeing him "alive" in the MCU in another role would just feel weird. Edited May 19, 2020 by J.T. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Arguably, someone that has been vampire hunting is going to look worn and haggard, be they young or old. An older (relatively speaking) actor makes sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I feel like there was something out in the zeitgeist about a high concept of Blade with a teenage daughter a few years ago. https://www.comicsblend.com/blade-daughter-the-family-the-slays-vampires-together/ I'm not 100% sure it ever actually came out as a comic though.
