Tom Holland is not a star yet.
Not yet, but I think he's on the up and up. He's in some pretty promising movies outside the MCU (except Chaos Walking lol)

The rare good post on Reddit:
QuoteMy general rule of thumb about racial recastings: does this require an utter change of the character and/or the setting for it to be at all realistic?
For example, obviously you wouldn't make T'Challa a white dude or make Moana into anything other than Polynesian- their stories are completely set around a specific setting where changing their ethnicity isn't possible.
On the flip side, you also couldn't make Steve Rogers (notice how I do not say Captain America) black, as there is no way that the racist United States government of the 1930s and 40s would make a black man the big public super-soldier (there is actually an excellent miniseries of comics about what happened to black soldiers who had had versions of the super-serum tested on them... it isn't a very happy story).
But Ariel? What defines Ariel? Well, she's a mermaid who wishes she could be human because she is fascinated by the world she can't see. That's a pretty universal story- people of every culture and race wish sometimes they could explore some part of the world that is forbidden to them. So there's nothing there that says Ariel has to be a white person.
You could also make the argument that it wouldn't be realistic if they have Prince Eric, etc. still be white, but A) We have no idea if that is going to be the case and in some ways that might actually increase the isolation and separation between the worlds of the land and sea, which would be thematically fitting.
Oh, and least we remember... MERMAIDS AREN'T FUCKING REAL. If mermaids were real and they all were white, that'd be one thing, but THEY AREN'T REAL AND SO CAN LOOK HOWEVER THE FUCK ANYONE WANTS THEM TO.
In short: I don't care what color her skin is, I want to know if she can carry "Part of Your World".

First the MCU fails to beat SILLYTAR, and now it gets hit by FRANCHISE FATIGUE. Lmao. Stupid bomb franchise.
Fire Feige and hire Snyder.

Not a great trailer tbh. None of the jokes landed with me, and I doubt that the trailer reflects the actual movie well.

Both Mackie and RDJ have taken shots at other franchises before so its nothing new. But yeah they better hope Disney is fully committed to the record at this point.
DC I assume?

I really hope that MCU personalities don’t make a big thing out of Avatar’s record. If it doesn’t happen, looks super embarrassing. If it does, still more classy to only mention it after.
RDJ and Anthony Mackie already did. Hopefully none of the others join in. Not very classy imo

Feels a bit weird seeing a bunch of MCU stars actively pushing for the record.

I think they've been showing way too much footage in the trailers. I haven't even watched the final trailer yet because I don't want to what every major setpiece will be before the movie.

Are we sure that all the theaters were announced yet? Here in Brazil we don't even have screenings going for it just yet.
More reason for me to believe that this isn't just 4 days: this will coincide with Far From Home, and it will be something going for the upcoming weeks.
I'm sure this specific release will be in theaters for the remainder of Endgame's run, but I'm not sure if that matters. People going to see Endgame again for the extra stuff at the end will go this weekend. After this weekend, Endgame will drop out of the top 10 again.

It’s happening.
We'll see what happens, but I don't think this by itself will be enough to pass Avatar. I think they'll need another re-release with a bigger marketing push and an actual extended cut to do it.

With all the Keanu hype recently between Cyberpunk 2077 and JW3, bringing him back for a Matrix revival in some way would be pretty smart.

Agreed. If this were an an extended cut and we got even 10-15 minutes of new material then I could see getting excited about the possibilities - but reportedly it's one scene (even two or three might make this more exciting) added on the end with some promo for Spider-Man and a tribute to Stan Lee.
Straight from the horse's mouth:

Titanic didn't have IMAX, 3D, or any PLF.
How in the hell would Avatar even sniff Titanic's admissions?
With a nose of course!

I don't understand all the weird Speed Racer love that's grown in the last 11 years. Like, I can understand people liking Matrix 2/3 and Cloud Atlas, but Speed Racer's affection befuddles me.
It looks pretty I guess

It's a good song choice but terribly edited
