For whatever reason I have always enjoyed Ryan Reynolds just fine, but his going all in for this film and the marketing has definitely made me a big fan of his.
I've loved Ryan Reynolds in many things but this is just cementing him at the top of the non-drama actors for me.
Good q&a with the Russos about Civil War, Infinity War and Spider-Man. Really excited to see their version of Spidey on the big screen. Sounds like he's got a bigger role in CW than what we've been led to believe. http://collider.com/captain-america-civil-war-avengers-3-infinity-war-updates-russo-brothers/ “It was a very long process. Kind of thing we had to lobby for for months. What happens during a long process like that, you’re continuing to develop the movie and the character. During the time that it takes you to convince the powers that be to make the jump and let you do that, you’ve engrained the character so deeply into the story at that point that you’d have to destroy the story to take him out. So, by the time we found out that he’d be in the movie, it wasn’t so much elation than like ‘Thank God! We don’t have to blow the whole movie up.' I’m a comic book fan and collector, since I was a kid, and he’s my favorite character. And to get a chance to reinvent that character…For me, I really wanted to see somebody cast who was very close to a high schooler’s age…What was so valuable to me about the character, when I was a kid, is that he’s a high schooler with this power and responsibility, and it makes him very distinct as a hero. It makes him distinct from the other characters in the Marvel Universe, who are confident, experienced superheroes. It’s super important to have that color of the movie, and we felt that it was invaluable and we do think it goes a long way. That character helps us balance out the tone of the movie.”
And kinda sounds like they'll be covering the back story well before he even gets a solo movie...which might actually be a good thing.
No big deal. Spoiler try to kill one with sex. I mean you have to kill one to get to fuck one once, and another once a year. Could manage.
Just watched the new Fantastic Four movie. I went in thinking that there is no way this is as bad as people have said and that everyone was just shitting on it because they wanted Marvel to get the movie rights back. Nope. First off its obvious they rushed this thing together so they didn't lose the rights but there is so much wrong with it. - The 4 aren't even on screen together in any form until an hour and 20 minutes into it (the movie is only 1 hr and 30 minutes long) - I didn't think it was possible to have a version of Doom worse than the 06/08 movies. Wrong again. - I've never seen a more generic 3rd act in a movie before I don't get why Josh Trank is getting all the blame for this one. Simon Kinberg (the same writer who fucked up the Dark Phoenix saga in X3 and turned the greatest X-Men story (DOFP) into an underwhelming movie) deserves just as much hate. The script and dialogue are a mess.
Green Lantern was fucking horrible, To quote HDTGM, Blake and Ryan had the chemistry akin to a wet bag of dogshit. I wanted it to be good...but it is fucking horrible.
not sure if this needs a spoiler or not so will play it safe and put it in the spoiler Exclusive: This is how Spider-Man will enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe Spoiler News By Meredith Placko Jan. 15, 2016 11:23 am This is a major plot reveal for arguably the biggest introduction of a Marvel character in their films to date. Needless to say, there be spoilers ahead! You’ve been warned. Marvel’s summer blockbuster is still six months away, but fans are dying to know one missing piece of the Captain America: Civil War puzzle. Where does New York’s wisecracking web-slinger fit into all of this? Spider-Man is going to be fighting with Team Tony (at least at first), a source close to the film told Geek.com. The same source also revealed just how Peter Parker will be introduced. Marvel and Sony entered into an unprecedented rights-sharing deal to make Spider-Man films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige said Peter would make his debut in the third Captain America film, but the biggest speculation would be on just what side Spidey would land. In the comics, Peter plays an integral part to setting up the sides that form when the Superhero Registration Act is enacted and is the first to unmask himself and side with Tony Stark. In the film, however, events play out quite differently. It looks like Civil War takes place 10 years after the first Iron Man. We know from past interviews with the Russo Brothers we’re not getting another Spider-Man origin story. When we see Peter, he’s 15-years-old and already working as Spidey in some capacity — and this hasn’t gone unnoticed in the Marvel Universe. We even get a nice nod to his vigilantism at the end of Ant-Man, when a reporter tells Falcon (Anthony Mackie) about the different superheroes roaming around the world, “We got guys who jump. We got guys who swing. We got guys who climb up walls.” It appears that Tony Stark, ever one to keep a watchful eye on the who’s who of the super world, took note of a certain young genius and his superhuman abilities, which makes sense, given all the SHIELD files he had access to. He’s probably been keeping tabs on Peter Parker since he first started his career as a vigilante. Our source told us is that Tony goes to Peter Parker specifically to recruit him, and to seal the deal, offers him an advanced Spider-suit to fight in — an upgrade from whatever 15-year-old Peter was previously slinging around in. But why would Peter even consider such an offer? “Peter started becoming Spidey because he grew up and idolized Tony,” our source revealed. Since Iron Man takes place 10 years before we meet Peter in Civil War, where Peter is 15, that means Peter was five-years-old when Tony broke onto the scene in the original Iron Man, likely dominating the news as Peter grew into a teenager. If the guy you admire and look up to suddenly shows up on your balcony with a sweet piece of tech and says, “hey, let’s be bros,” are you going to turn him down? It goes without saying that none of this is set in stone until Marvel confirms or the film comes out, but this fits into what we know of the Civil War story thus far. One of the biggest questions fans have been asking is what Spider suit we’re going to see — and, so far, this is anyone’s guess. Is it going to be the traditional red-and-blue, or are we going to see something a bit more high tech? Maybe patterned after Tony’s own red-and-gold color scheme? There’s a lot of hoping amongst fans to see Peter in his Iron Spider armor. It’s a suit Tony built for him, but one Peter ultimately abandons when he changes sides and joins Team America in the Civil War comic series. It would be pretty bold of Marvel to just go full Iron Spider in Spider-Man’s big MCU debut, but it could be just what they need to separate their Spider-Man from the Sony films. The Russos know how badly the fans want to see what Spider-Man is going to look like, and they keep dropping teases every chance they get. When asked if we would see that red and gold suit, Anthony Russo told Brazilian magazine Super Interstate, “The film will show a mix of what everyone is wanting and a little twist. So yeah, that’s what I can tell.” One thing that keeps popping up in news and rumor sites is that the first time we see Peter in Spider-action he will be sporting something more street-style, wearing a red-and-blue hoodie. There’s been leaked merchandise pictures floating around of an upcoming hoodie with ties to Marvel, for which Merchoid just released the pre-order. Chances are we’re going to see something of the classic red-and-blue design at some point. Last year, rumors appeared on Reddit from someone claiming to have seen some of the dailies from the Civil War set, where Spider-Man was added in post during a scene with Captain America, Iron Man, and Falcon. They described the suit’s webbing to be different than the basketball-style we’re used to from the other films. The Redditor noted patches on the arms that stood out, similar to the ones on that Merchoid hoodie. The eye shape was also “highly reflective like glass” Hoodie, Classic Spidey suit, Iron Spider, it’s all up for grabs what the wall crawler will be sporting. It’s still something on which we can have fun speculating. Knowing which hero is on which team, though, gives a much better explanation for the above concept art — specifically, why everyone gets to a sparring partner except Hawkeye. He can’t just be there to aim an arrow at Iron Man’s butt, right? We know from trailers and other art that Team Cap consists of Captain America, Falcon, Winter Soldier, Sharon Carter, Hawkeye, and Ant-Man. Stepping up for Iron Man is Black Panther, The Vision, Black Widow, and War Machine. It seemed a little unbalanced, with a 6-on-5 matchup. Spider-Man’s addition to the team would even things out. Though, a 15-year-old high school kid would be a bit out of his league going up against even someone like Hawkeye. Maybe a high-tech suit would help quite a bit, regardless of if it’s Iron Spider or just an upgrade to the red-and-blue. Spider-Man swings into the MCU when Captain America: Civil War hits the screens May 6 this year.
Punisher Spinoff Starring Jon Bernthal in Development at Netflix By Michael Ausiello / January 16 2016, 9:44 AM PST Netflix is this close to pulling the trigger on The Punisher, a new Marvel spinoff series centered on Jon Bernthal’s gun-toting Daredevil vigilante (aka Frank Castle), TVLine has learned exclusively. Viewers will get their first look at Bernthal’s Punisher when Daredevil ‘s second season drops on Friday, March 18, but the early buzz on the Walking Dead alum’s performance is overwhelmingly positive. “Viewers watching the show will be rooting for this guy with a gun but we’re also going to force people to second-guess themselves,” previewed exec producer Doug Petrie in a recent interview with EW.com. “Taking lethal justice into your own hands in America in 2015 is tricky s–t.” For those keeping track at home, this would mark Netflix’s sixth Marvel series, following Daredevil,Jessica Jones, the upcoming Luke Cage, and the in-the-works Iron Fist and The Defenders. Reps for Netflix and Marvel declined comment.
I thought I read a few months ago that it was in question and they might just replace it with the Punisher show. I could be wrong.
Marvel hired the showrunner for Iron Fist 1-2 months ago so it's definitely still happening. Too bad he's a shitty showrunner.
My wife is really trying to fight letting my 14 YO see it. He will see it either way, but would be nice to say we saw the PGA version and it have been a thing we could have seen.
Just punisher doing punisher things: walking around strapped to the gills, setting traps and torturing people all the while trying to accept that nothing he does (good or bad) will bring his family back. I really hope they go with the backstory of him as a preacher. Would complement Matt's conflict with his own Catholicism well.
So my son saw the Deadpool ad during the playoff game. Broke my heart to tell him he's too young to watch a Rated R movie.
