And the girl...

I mean, didn't everyone?

Catherine was his silver medal...

OMG the MCU cast is woke. It's almost like being woke means being a good person.

Even the left has grifters.

Don't bring TYT into this.

It's so nice when the actual actor playing a superhero is a decent person and not a raging bigot.

I’ve seen so many people online say how Pedro Pascal has become so overexposed and is in pretty much everything nowadays, and it’s stuff like this that makes me go, “Why would you not want to put him in more stuff? If anything, he’s not in enough films and TV. Put him in all the things!”

Doug and Patti never get together... Arnold and Helga don't until the Netflix movie.

DC Comics, Warner Brothers Escape ‘Superman’ Movie IP Suit (1)

A federal judge on Thursday rejected a Superman co-creator’s estate from reclaiming foreign copyrights and blocking the new superhero film’s release, citing lack of jurisdiction over the case.

Awesome stuff!

I mean, did we seriously think that was going to go any other way?

Every time I Google what Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster sold the rights to Superman for, I get mad as hell for them.

Gotta love Tony Gilroy. “I hate Star Wars, I hate my own Star Wars show. BTW, here’s the best Star Wars thing in 40 years.”

The full context is even better.

So Marvel Studios had no input for those obscure tie-in comics during the first three phases? I think they stopped doing them for a while now but apart from adaptations of the movies they also did a fair amount of in-between stories that filled in the gaps between movies like Fury's Big Week.

TIL there were tie-in comics during the first three phases.

They went about it in a weird way compared to ages ago where they'd just have a straight up comic adaptation of the movie when it was released. Like for the first Avengers they had a tie-in comic called Fury's Big Week that covered what Fury and Black Widow were up to during the events of Thor, Iron Man 2 and The Incredible Hulk but they didn't actually do a comic adaptation of the movie until a few years later tying into Age of Ultron where they had that as a "prelude".

I think they did, so this article might be just revisionist history. Brad Winderbaum was the one who came up with the idea for Fury's Big Week in the first place.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Feige basically say they put the movie into production because Ali said he wanted to do it? Doesn't sound much like a passion project.

Which is a shame. ‘Beloved, incredible actor wants to play this character’ is a better reason to make a movie than most.

You are 100% right. But this also feels exactly how something gets lost in the Feige machine. It kept getting put on the back burner until it died.

I mean, we’ve seen what a Feige “passion project” looks like. His big passion project for the first couple phases was Doctor Strange. Fair bet Blade could’ve cleared that lol.

Feige's desire is definitely the only reason the wizard movie got made. None for the black vampire.

Interesting movie to have been the "passion" project.

What was wrong with Doctor Strange?

It's not a good movie.
