Given production is ramping up, I wouldn't be surprised if they add jokes about the MCU being a mess, Deadpool is the only character who could get away with it. -
Shawn Levy is why I think it'll turn out well, he can handle big scale as well as small scale.
-
I don't see it being a bad movie, DP1 and DP2 were well received and I think the MCU aspect is unimportant in this case as Deadpool is its own thing and more importantly Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy probably will be left alone with Feige concentrating on the actual MCU films for 2025.
-
It's no secret that Bob Iger hated him and moving Marvel Studios from Marvel Entertainment to Walt Disney Studios was one of those bullish chess move.
-
But that would kill the site traffic if there was no Marvel or DC discussion. It's the prisoner's dilemma.
-
He couldn't go to WB anyway unless either James Gunn or Peter Safran stepped aside.
-
Ike was terrible though, he was always a hindrance than a help. I think having too many projects on the go with TV and films was the issue and not having enough time to oversee them. This won't be an issue for DP3 or even the next Spider-Man because those have other producers overseeing them.
-
That's true for anyone who has a flop or two. I know some were calling for Jennifer Lee's head after Strange World and Pete Docter's head after Lightyear and the first weekend of Elemental but that was just dumb.
-
Who replaces him though, that why he's unlikely to be fired by Disney. People seem to think firing people is a solution but really it causes more problems if there is no one to replace him.
-
There was one person who said the MCU will be permanently unprofitable and Disney needed to do something else. Keeping in mind the chances of that happening are zilch. It's just silly hyperbole from people with no idea how Hollywood works.
-
They can't use Venom without Sony's permission.
-
Also you can't turn a movie into a TV series, they're structured in a different manner.
-
Anyone expecting Kevin Feige to be fired or Marvel Studios to be shut down is kidding themselves. They've hit a bump but it's not the end of the MCU or Marvel Studios themselves. I get the sense it was too late to save The Marvels and they just had to suck it up.
-
I imagine the Marvel movies are too expensive to be Disney+ exclusives and TBH I think we're going to see little to no original movies on Disney+ and the focus will on TV series and the library.
-
Only the WUMs on here want Marvel to make no content for a while and TBH it's not likely, they were always be Marvel content in some form every year. We have three SSU films for example plus Echo in 2024. Even Batman and Superman which went through periods of no movies still had TV series whether live action or animated.
-
I think DP3 will be the highest grossing of the DP films and possibly might be leg it if there is no competition in August. Between Thunderbolts and Blade, it'd be easier to can the former. Blade being a darker character is an easier sell.
-
I know there is a cancel everything mentality but Disney won't be cancelling every Marvel content due to The Marvels underperforming. As @Shawn pointed in the MCU, Loki's finale was very well received so it's not all doom and gloom. I do wonder if we might see X-Men pop up sooner than expected?
-
Wes Ball is the director, not Shawn Levy. People say video game films are the future but there has been just as many failures like Warcraft and 2018 Tomb Raider.
-
Let's not do that...
-
The thing with the MCU and one of its big advantage is that it's more than just a single franchise so they can ride out The Marvels and next year's quieter slate with Deadpool 3 getting things back on track. Deadpool being Ryan Reynold's baby means that I suspect Kevin Feige is more hands off compared to something like The Marvels and I could see it being the MCU's Aquaman in that it's a big hit coming off a disaster the year before.

Stop!! Hammer Time!!

Wicked is almost complete as well with just 10 days of shooting which they could do and still get it released on time. I think December would be better anyway although if Universal want a head start, they could opt for November 15th,

The Marvels | November 10, 2023 | Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter

Try not to get threadbanned... -
Ironically, I think despite less movies in 2024 I think Deadpool 3, IO2 and Zootopia 2 if the latter is confirmed might be the ones that helps Disney have a good year and I'm hopeful for KOTPOTA as well.
