Just getting caught up on some recent convos...
I'm finally mustering some excitement for
Thunderbolts* now that the release date is only a week away. I know several folks who are interested in seeing it so I'll definitely be watching this one at the theatre. In fact, speaking purely anecdotally, there seems to be far more interest in
Thunderbolts* among friends and co-workers than there was in
Brave New World, which hopefully bodes well for the former's box office prospects...
I'm also interested in seeing
Sinners theatrically! Everyone I know who's seen it has assured me it's excellent, with several folks interested in seeing it again. Twice in one month at the theatre for me?? It's been literally years since I've done that
Also looking forward to Free Comic Book Day next weekend! Saturdays are generally work days for me but I should be able to sneak out around lunchtime for my annual pilgrimage to the local comic book shop to participate in the festivities...
Sad to read about Lar Park Lincoln's passing. I'm a huge fan of the
Friday the 13th franchise and thought she did a great job as Tina
Kudos to Pedro Pascal for his recent stand on transgender issues. I'm a big fan of his and really hope
Fantastic Four knocks it out of the park later this summer...
So
Blade has been 'officially' removed from Marvel’s release schedule? This news saddens me but a kickass
Midnight Sons movie with Mahershala Ali finally playing the character will help lessen the blow. I read some tentative online rumours this past week of Ryan Coogler possibly expressing interest in a second Marvel property along with
Black Panther. A Coogler-directed
Midnight Sons would probably be about as mind-blowing as it gets these days...
Back to
Thunderbolts*, I've been reading that first reactions have been very positive so far. Of course this doesn't mean much, considering first reactions to some recent duds were reportedly glowing as well *cough*
Flash *cough* However, I choose to view this as a positive sign for the film's prospects...
Cute that James Gunn is being coy about Green Arrow's inevitable arrival in the new DC Universe. I don't know Green Arrow from Greenland or Green Acres but the new studio has been doing a great job with character casting so all news is welcome...
IGN recently lamented on the question marks surrounding Wonder Woman's involvement in the new DCU. The articled mentioned the value Diana Prince can bring to the new universe with a more competent actor playing WW. Hopefully we get some concrete updates soon...
