IDK about that. Marvel Studios and Marvel Television have some bad blood going on right now.

I don't see that happening but he is available

I agree that 825 is too low to be the ceiling.

But it's definitely worthy of being the floor. In the worst case, you can't see it doing only 825? Something like 350 dom + 475 OS .... as the low-end?

The low end for me is 875 - 900, similar number to BvS UNDER THE WORST CIRCUMSTANCES. I think people try to act like BvS performed the way it did under normal circumstances, it is an anomaly

So how long until we get a Batman/Wonder Woman film? Or better yet a film where Diana/Bruce mentor one of the Titans (Nightwing, Blue Beetle, Raven) xD

I have a feeling the "solo" Batman film will get reconfigured into a Batman/WW crossover.

Snyder has no creative control anymore, they'll have to blame Whedon.

If it sucks, "Whedon couldn't save it"

 

If its great, "Whedon saved it..."

 

Very unfortunate...

I want a Wonder Woman mentoring Flash movie. Much like IM/SM in Homecoming.

Agreed. James Bond is just about the only franchise movie hero who seems to have considerable  immunity from the fatigue factor, But then with a 50 year ongoing history 007 ssems to be unique and breaks all the rules

 

Yes, yes and Yes

"I think he got the point."

JL will do max 825 million. It's coming off the very bad BvS film which had terrible wom. I could see it being one of the lowest grossing movies this year. 

Don't engage in hyperbole just because you are angry.

[Mojoguy]

Snyder has no creative control anymore, they'll have to blame Whedon.

JL is Synder's movie. There is simply no TIME for Whedon to take over and redo the entire movie. There will just be reshoots.

[drdungbeetle]

Spectre was down from Skyfall.

The series needed to get saved in the first place via Casino Royale back in 2005.

Bond is not immune to downward momentum.

No they don't. They're both owned by Disney and Marvel TV is still "canon". Daredevil references the events of Avengers 1 as the reason Kingpin's empire exists!

Gunn said MTVU and MCU are very separated now.

Not if it has extensive Whedon reshoots.

To get on the topic of villains, I'd love to see Marvel or Star Wars tackle one of the most ruthless scariest villains, Kathleen Kennedy.

Oh. Blue Beetle being mentored by Cyborg would be interesting.

Who the hell cares what Gunn says about TV, he doesn't direct any MCU TV. Bottom line, there is absolutely nothing stopping them from using Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpin since Disney already uses him as Kingpin.

Can somebody give me one good reason why Atomic Blonde would do better than John Wick 2?

 

There is some chaos/unpredictable element that can happen, but yeah a result between JW 1 and 2 is the most probable output imo.

What were the abnormal circumstances it was facing?

Nothing is but they likely won't.

Nah, looks like Batman is going mentor Flash if we go by the JL trailers. Batman has always had sidekicks to teach.

Just now, YourMother said:

Whether they do or don't, the fact that he was on a Marvel TV show produced by Disney won't stop them. If they were willing to allow an "MCU" production through an enemy studio I doubt they care if they cast a guy who was in their own Netflix TV series.

[drdungbeetle]

If Baby Driver goes over 100 mil and Atomic Blonde has a remotely decent RT, these "Atomic Blonde can't do 100 mil!" posts are gonna look amazingly stupid.
