  1. I would tend to think the same. But I could see them giving the go ahead on a limited amount of reshoots designed to wash out any connections to the X-Men that might be in there.
  2. Well there's Daniel K. Isaac from Billions. He's just hair outside of that age range at 30. But yeah it's not a long list. That's a side effect of the lack of prominent Asian actors and actresses in the business in general. Funnily enough (they're both comedians) in response to that story on Twitter, though I wouldn't call either of them semi-famous:
  3. Might they be bumping it because they've decided to allow some amount of reshoots?
  4. I did a quick search to see what Conrad Ricamora has been in and if they're looking for an actor in their 20's I'm not sure why he'd be high up on the list. The guy is 40 years old.
  5. I was already pretty interested but yeah, this looks like it could be real good.
  6. Of course. Wasn't suggesting otherwise. But I'm also not running on the assumption that the gay actor cast in the gay character role is necessarily for Hercules either. That's just been speculation up to this point as far as I'm aware.
  7. I guess it would depend on how much they change Starfox, and they're gonna have to, but making your first gay character in the MCU one who was an infamous womanizer from the comics could be problematic. It plays into some old stereotypes.
  8. I wouldn't be surprised to see Marvel go with the Celestials, and by extension the Eternals, as the gateway for mutants in general to enter the MCU.
  9. I don't disagree with needing to bring in new perspectives. The rate that Marvel puts out movies certainly requires it. But it's hard to look at what that group has brought to the MCU and argue that a significant part of the MCU's success hasn't flowed directly out of that combination: Captain America: The First Avenger (M&M as writers) Captain America: The Winter Soldier Captain America: Civil War Avengers: Infinity War And of course Endgame, whose success remains to be seen. I just don't know how you can look at that list and say it's core creatives walking away isn't a big deal.
  10. As of right now nothing for either them or Markus and McFeely. And both duos have formed their own development/production companies within the past couple of years. Everyone talks about the trinity of RDJ-Evans-Hemsworth moving on but those four are at least just as much if not more of a loss to Marvel should they decide to pursue other projects for the foreseeable future.
  11. Yeah Disney spends millions of dollars financing these movies, ditto on P&A, pays the critics to give them good reviews, pays RT to silence any of the ordinary joes who won't play along, to then turn around and buy up large blocks of tickets to these movies. I can just picture the executive meeting where this was all concocted. Bob Iger: Gentlemen, we have a problem. Our parks are generating entirely too ... much ... money. What I need from you are ideas on how we're going to dump copious amounts of cash under what would otherwise seem to be a sound business plan. Hit me.
  12. Howard Stark developed the theories behind the new element from his research on the Tesseract. So it's related in that way. It may not be called that in his notes as shown in IM2 because The Tesseract wasn't always going to be the housing for an Infinity Stone in the MCU. It was originally intended to be a Cosmic Cube, which may explain the hypercube references. They just decided to go with as the first of the stones and gave it an original (not from the comics) name.
  13. Kamala Khan isn't really a sidekick of Carol's in the comics, at least from what I've read. She's inspired by her, occasionally interacts with her, but she by and large seems to do her own thing to the extent that a teenager trying to hide her abilities from her family can. And Kamala has a sidekick of sorts of her own; a brainiac science guy, who happens to be white.
  14. Yes Secretariat won the Kentucky Derby, on his way to winning the Triple Crown. It was the manner in which he won the Belmont Stakes that ended up making him a legend. Ron Turcotte was his jockey.
  15. In an acquisition like this I would fully expect them to sit down and broach the topic of a potential renegotiation with someone of Cameron's stature when there is as much on the line as there is with the Avatar franchise. There may be changes that both parties would consider mutually beneficial that couldn't be reached when Fox was sitting on the other side of the table. It's not simply a matter of the bean counters and lawyers trying to wring a little more blood out of the existing deal.
  16. Yeah I think the buzz definitely helped it's legs. We're on the same page for sure.
  17. The ending generated so much buzz for that movie it helped drive people out to see what all of the fuss was about. There were references to "The Snap" flying all over social media and getting mentioned in circles that don't normally talk all that much about CB movies. Even the Russos said they didn't expect it to get the reaction it did. In retrospect you almost wonder how could they not have.
