Marvel Cinematic Universe not the Marvel Comedy Universe people. I know its difficult for them but could they please keep the one-liners to a minimum with this.
Well its a good thing Disney did not buy FOX years ago, Film like this would go straight to streaming or would not get the green light under Disney.
Man, that merger has to fail, somehow..... for the good of variety and cinema.
I could see them ditching Drax, Gamora and Mantis. The franchise will easily survive without them. They can easily be replaced with superior characters IMO.
Vol 2 was supposed to make a billion..... I feel they missed their best shot at a billion. 800 mil plus for this would be great. This is not the last Guardians film, is it?
After.... Salt, Atomic Blond, Proud Mary, Red Sparrow, Colombiana, Ghost in the Shell, Silver and Black and others... this film better have Aliens to make it stand out.
Apart from being 6 years too late, I wonder if this will be the first Marvel studio film with a budget under 100 mil.
Also the toy companies can't be too happy with this film. Maybe aliens and other Avengers will be involved.
Disney just can't shake that ''mainly appeal to kids" tag no matter how hard they try. Its the reason they created Touchstone Pictures, but then they abandoned it. Disney can't green light 100 million to make a Life of Pi or The Revenant type films. They would rather spend that money on Beauty and the Beast live action spin-offs and pointless Star Wars spin offs....
Funny enough, Wreck it Ralph would be perfect as a tv show, if they kept the video game premise instead of this forced internet references and obvious Disney Princess merchandise advert.
This film would not exist if Disney had bought FOX a few years ago. No kid or Merchandise opportunities......A sequel is not a sure thing if the Disney -FOX deal is approved They better hurry up and film its sequel
People will appreciate TLJ numbers a lot more when Episode 9 fails to get close to it. There is no hook for Episode 9, like an Episode 3 or 6. Unless they somehow resurrect Darth Vader or something like that. The last film of the trilogy tagline may not be enough.
Also great numbers for Jumanji. I'm happy for SONY . If they have a couple more breakouts like this, Iger and the lazy clowns at Disney will start knocking on their door to buy them. Things can change very quickly in the movie world
