The Superhero Cinematic Civil War Thread* - Part 61

[Spider-Fan]

Is it because Anakin killed the younglings in that movie?

Not a PT fan lol

 

[AndrewGilkison]

Do we think we will ultimately get Rogue in this movie, especially with Gambit there? And will they bring back Anna or recast?

Here's a better question: Are Marsden, Grammer, Cummings etc playing their OG X-Men selves or...are they playing a live action version of the X-Men 97 crew? They're just, you know, using the 2000s cast to do it? Gambit's casting has me wondering this.

Probably variants with more comic inspired costumes

I am also wondering how the Thunderbolts are going to factor into the movie. Are they going to be their own separate faction? Are they going to be aligned with The Avengers/Fantastic Four? Are they going to be working for Doom? What will their interaction with the mutants be, if any.

 

[Chris B]

So I am guessing all those reports about how Reed Richards rivalry wasn't going to factor much into the story and that it was going to be about Spider-Man being distressed that Doom looks like Tony Stark were all bull****? Color me shocked.

It'll be a welcomed relief to me if the listing order for the cast indicates the rivalry will be explored.

They were supposed to invite Tom Holland but he got invited to the wrong "Doomsday" group chat instead.

 

[Mysteryman]

Not announcing Teyonah Parris even though Monica was last seen trapped in the Fox universe is a very weird choice.

Unless it’s not the full list.

Unless it’s not the full list.

There could be more casting announcements soon, if there's any truth to this:

So what’s the over-under on Taskmaster actually dying in Thunderbolts. She’s unpopular so I could see it, but I can’t remember the last time a company was so blatantly signaling “This character is gonna die” and it wasn’t a fakeout.

She may not die but just goes away lol. There is a possibility someone dies in thunderbolts but still returns in Doomsday. It is the multiverse. Can easily seeing that happen to Sentry.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

The first good episode of Born Again is the one the new people didn't touch.

The "and" credit at the end holds a lot of weight too. Pratt's agent probably negotiated like crazy for that "and Chris Pratt" credit for Infinity War.

Samuel L Jackson will probably snag that “and” credit for Doomsday.

 

[Pennywise]

Ugh, I just want to see progress made on the film! Take it with some salt, as it’s Sneider!

Stahelski would be a great get, though! He expressed interest, iirc.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I would be instantly interested again.....until he leaves the project

 

[Pennywise]

 

[Lip]

My theory now is that Jean and Storm havent been announced because they'll be leading the gold team with Iceman, Bishop, Colossus and Angel.

I'm watching Infinity War, and I do really like it still. It builds on everything that came before and successfully mixes characters and elements introduced in other projects. It's almost like a whole season of Game of Thrones in one sitting, but it works, somehow. The humor is hit and miss, but that's the MCU for me. I like how dark this film is compared to most projects in the franchise, it's not pulling any punches.

This brings me to Doomsday and Secret Wars and a recurring topic. These are supposed to be the Infinity War and Endgame of the new era, but those films were built on a mountain of material that captivated their audience. There were two smaller Avengers films and an Avengers 2.5 in the form of Civil War, all adding to the big conclusion emotionally.

We have nothing of the sort for the new duology, which means that the Russos aren't equipped with a rich filmography of material to cultivate, but rather a catalogue of films and streaming shows that largely haven't found the same kind of success. This is going to be challenging, making an artificial setup into something grand. We'll see, I'm certainly excited to meet the Fox-Men again, even if the versions are new. That in itself is a challenge, since this is supposed to be an Avengers film, and I'm not looking forward to the Avengers.

 

[Pennywise]

Not buying this.

 

[Drizzle]

Samuel L Jackson will probably snag that “and” credit for Doomsday.

If he's in it, it could go either way. It'll either be that or an uncredited cameo like Infinity War.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

You guys know I’m never one to post spoilers, but I must say:

The leaks of Charlie Cox in that comic accurate black suit for Born Again Season 2 is breathtaking.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Chameleon is a fine choice if true, but I gotta see it to believe it.

As for the other thing Shinobi is talking ablut.about....all I can say is I agree

 

[mclay18]

Fingers crossed that James Marsden’s Cyclops outfit in Doomsday looks as comic accurate as Hugh’s was last year. If Judianna Makovsky brings back the black leather Matrix look (she also did X3)… we riot.

 

[BoredGuy]

Looks good
but I still don't quite get why people are so obsessed with the logo on the chest, doesn't really seem to make sense for the character, but we'll see what reason they come up with
