Not me who's getting defensive at the first time. t:

I don't know about anyone else, but personally I'd like it if BOTH were making successful film franchises. I want to see Wonder Woman, Flash, Hawkman, JSA, etc. I want to see the Justice League and better Green Lantern movies. I want to see a proper Deathstroke on film, as well as Captain Marvel. That DC isn't pushing forward movies other than The Dark Knight Rises and Man of Steel is frankly a pretty big disappointment.

This man speaks the truth.

Though I think Man of Steel will be deciding point on the subject of real superheroes, with superpowers. If it's good, DC/Warner will probably go for more movies like that, a little dark, a little gritty, most likely self-contained, but with people that aren't Batman.

As for Marvel Studios, I'd say the best characters for individual movies would be...

Doctor Strange.

Black Panther.

Luke Cage.

Iron Fist (Maybe).


Namor.

Black Widow and Hawkeye (They've got history in the comics and in the movie, would probably be a nice "buddy spy" movie).

SHIELD (Could be merged with the above).

Captain Marvel could work. Maybe.

Ant-Man.

The Inhumans.

Guardians of Galaxy might be cool as well.

 

[DyeLorean]

Black Adam. He could still do both characters though.

Right, Black Adam, that's right.

 

[Rock Sexton]

Dwayne Johnson wasn't supposed to play Shazam in a future movie?

Actually Black Adam ....

 

[DyeLorean]

Yeah yeah, they corrected me up there. My bad.

 

[Smashlilman]

I'm Black and I wouldn't have a problem with Dwayne Johnson as Luke Cage. When we get into people analyzing others' "degree of Blackness," it gets ridiculous.

How old is Luke Cage. Ving Rhames Would have made a great Luke Cage. He old now though Dwayne Johnson seam more like he could play Black Adam from Shazam!(DC Captain Marvel).

 

[captainrogers]

Man, would I LOOOOVE to see a Great Black Panther movie.
As far as Individual Character films go, his is the movie I always looked foward to after Cap.

 

[Spider-Fan]

150 mins? I can go with that

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

I'm really looking forward to the Ant-Man movie. If it happens at all, I think is one of the most interesting and effective thing they can put on screen with the characters they have left.
He could be included maybe in a future Avengers sequel? The Phase Two?

I was just looking at a couple of Wright and Cornish interviews to kinda see where they're trying to go with him, Ant-Man is a VERY interesting project:

[captainrogers]

Part of me has kinda always wanted to see Michael Jai White as Cage.

 

[chiefchirpa]

Ving Rhames is too old for the athletic role. Cage is about 30-something.

God no ..... LOL

Seen a few of his movies late at night and that guy can't act for crap. All he's got in his bag of tricks is a snarl face.

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

My choice for Luke Cage

 

[chiefchirpa]

All he's got in his bag of tricks is a snarl face.

Which should not exclude him from any villainous role.

He won't too shabby as Killmonger or Black Manta, whose face and acting would be hidden through mask and electronic voice.

 

[PowerPacked]

Yeah, I'm all for more team up films, but, um, no to West Coast Avengers.

I'd love a S.H.I.E.L.D ensemble, or hell, maybe even a Thunderbolts movie. A Thunderbolts movie would be really interesting.

Cool, thank you for those videos! t:
Yeah, is definetely the character I'm most interested to see on screen.

 

[PowerPacked]

Actually, it'd be awesome if they used B/C list characters in movies, and then made a whole new team out of those characters. That'd be pretty awesome.

 

[Splat]

As far as WB/DC goes I think GL was going to be the start of a JL movie build up, with Amanda Waller playing the Nick Fury role. Unfortunately with GL bombing like it did WB/DC will just stick to more Superman or Batman movies. Maybe some Vertigo books.

 

[PowerPacked]

You can tell from the original GL script that was what they were going for. They had Alan Scott, Guy Gardner AND Clark Kent cameos in it, for god's sake.

 

[Raiden]

^ Johnson is too "likeable" to play a villain like Skurge. He needs to be an anti-hero or a hero. Cage, I believe, fits right into his alley.

And West Coast Avengers is not necessary.

I agree; if WC Avengers is viable, then we can do the same for other obscured teams, like Young Avengers and Thunderbolts. Marvel would be spreading themselves too thin if they go this route.

 

[Splat]

Yeah it was meant to be their IM it just didn't happen. Thank god JF, RDJ and company nailed it or I seriously doubt we'd be getting ready to watch an Avengers movie.

 

[Raiden]

Man, would I LOOOOVE to see a Great Black Panther movie.

Same here. I want to see a BP movie more than a Luke Cage one, because not only because he's a deeper and more complex character, he also has great powers and abilities as well as backstory. Besides, wasn't he the first really viable black superhero in comicdom? It's a great opportunity for Marvel to make the first truly good superhero movie featuring an character of African descendant (because CINO, Steel, and Spawn were terrible).

 

[marcvader]

Know what guys? The general audience is liking everything Marvel is dishing. Why stop?

 

[captainrogers]

God no ..... LOL

He's not the greatest actor, but man, the dude has got GREAT look.
I'm down for the idea of him to play a baddie.

 

[Spider-Fan]

You can tell from the original GL script that was what they were going for. They had Alan Scott, Guy Gardner AND Clark Kent cameos in it, for god's sake.

Oh you definitely can tell GL was attempting to be that movie, but GL failed at doing this not because a compelling DCU on film can't be made. Smallville arguable did it fairly well, so it can work. The problem was the movie itself. I think DC could make a great Justice League, much like Marvel is giving us a great Avengers. However, I have favoritism towards Avengers, so I am naturally happier that it was the Avengers that got it right. This is seriously a dream come true for us long time Avengers readers.

So, let's see what we've gotten recently:

An Okay poster.

A...eh title change for the UK.

A kickass trailer.

A rebroken trailer record.

And a running time of 2.5 hours?!

Overall I'd say a pretty awesome week.
