9 Avengers Rumors
SPOILERS POSSIBLE IN LINK AND BELOW:
quote:
The rumor is that Marvel and DC are fighting over Oscar-nominated actor and internet folk hero Ryan Gosling. Marvel, according to Vanity Fair, wants Gosling to play Doctor Strange, an Avenger with magical powers. DC wants him to star in its upcoming Suicide Squad, about a team of supervillains undertaking a desperate mission for the good guys.
SPOILERS POSSIBLE IN LINK AND BELOW:
quote:
At the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America will, according to the script seen by Badass Digest's Devin Faraci, assemble a team of heroes, setting up the next events in the Marvel cinematic universe.
"I won't reveal all the names — and some have changed in between drafts, by the way — but one character who has always been in this new team is Captain Marvel," Faraci reported in August. He does add that he has been hearing Marvel isn't sure whether or not to introduce Captain Marvel in such a way.

Captain Marvel,
i think she will be pretty important for Marvel to portray on screen since DC will be throwing out wonder woman and a rumored female robin

I can almost guarantee that DC had not thought out the Suicide Squad out before Guardians of the Galaxy. They may have tossed around the idea when the trailer first came out, but only got the ball rolling when it killed in the box office. I really think the DC universe is about to go down as the sloppiest and most poorly planned film project of all time. Although I've always wanted Cumberbatch as Dr Strange, Gosling would be a good choice and I hope he sticks with Marvel, who look to be much more consistent and have actually thought all this shite through and taken their time with it. They're not all winners, but I don't think any of them are downright horrible.

It does sound rather Armageddon v. Deep Impact

It's been in the works for years. And while the success of Guardians (as a film with unknown characters) may have moved the release date forward, I doubt seriously that Suicide Squad will resemble GOTG in any manner. It's an earthbound film directed by someone who was signed on for his portrayal of gritty films about unheroic heroes (Fury). The lightest thing that Ayers has written is Fast and Furious, and that wasn't a comedy adventure by any stretch.
Warner has released one movie in their connected series, and you're already dismissing it as the sloppiest and most poorly planned film project of all time?

They've already got one strike with that one. It was poorly thought out, merely gave into what the fans seemed to demand, and merely went the Nolan route for no real reason, and have glossed over many horrifying details. Everything I've heard from the BvS film has been bad, and it seems to me that they've learned nothing from the mistakes MoS made. Seems as if all they're trying to do is stuff as many characters as possible and for whatever reason make it as close to The Dark Knight Returns as possible, despite that being mind numbingly stupid.

ive pretty much accepted the majority on this board will hate anything DC related before it comes out. they could produce the "Godfather" of superhero movies but it will still be condemned.
notice DC is the only one making a solo movie about a female hero. yet marvel gets no flack for that.
eta: marvel fanboys will point to Ms. Marvel. however, they still have yet to say if she will get a solo movie and marvel will have been making movies for a decade before they announce it. would that not be seen as a reaction plan to Wonder Woman? of course not. its marvel, guys.

Everything? You don't like one single casting choice? None of the costumes shown? Don't like the Batmobile? Everything is bad? I had major problems with Man of Steel, but Cavill wasn't one of them. Neither was Amy Adams.
Everything that they do is wrong?
Wow.

Okay....I don't really have a dog in this Marvel vs DC crap, but why on earth should they?
For frick's sake, is that where we are now? If one group does something that highlights a "protected class," you are supposed to shite on all other groups for not riding the same line?

Movies maybe. But a lot of people on this board think very highly of DC TV shows and animated stuff.

Not on all other groups. But when you have a movie universe that has had nine movies released and just as many scheduled in the future, and you have a viable character/star that could lead her own superhero film (and does so with other studios), you open yourself up to criticism.

lol wut? The CW TV shows are badass and their animated flicks are great.

They haven't made it yet thus they should get zero credit for it. It isnt even in production right now. You really think if Batman v Superman tanks they would continue with WW starring Gal f-ing Gadot?
Also, why should Marvel get flack for that? They've featured plenty of women in major roles. It's not like the few women in the movies are purely eye candy.

Kind of hard to have a female led movie when your don't control you most famous female characters in Storm, Jean Grey, Kitty Pride, and all the other mutants. With the success of Lucy establishing ScarJo as a legit action lead I wouldn't be surprised to see a Black Widow movie in the near future.

I mostly just don't like the Gosling as Doctor Strange idea. I don't think he has that persona or aura about him. Plus he doesn't resemble Strange at all.

Gosling's a solid actor but he walks a very fine line between leading man and douche.
Adding a goatee might be the tipping point.

Singer just chose to use multiple female characters. Marvel has had that option, they were just slow to move. Marvel has She-Hulk, Captain Marvel, Scarlet Witch, Medusa, Tigra, Wasp, Valkyrie, and now Elektra.
And if you can use the "DC says they can't make a Wonder Woman movie - Marvel says here's a raccoon with a machine gun" joke against Warner, you can now use it against Marvel.

This is nowhere near true. Admittedly, BvS news and their universe plans seem tenuous at best, but many of the decisions have been fine. Affleck is a solid choice, everyone was pretty happy about Malone rumors, which is maybe surprising. MoS is loved by some not by others.
But Arrow and Flash get love, everyone loves the animated stuff, and people like the heroes a lot.
Sure Gotham is sinking, but the quality is pretty bad right now. It can get better.
The old tired "oh woe is me" routine with DC is insane.

Everyone loved The Dark Knight, what are you talking about?

Widow and GAMORA made it to the big screen before Wonder Woman. Let that sink in.

Again, Widow and Gamora kind of prove this theory way wrong. AND why should this matter?
AND Ms. Marvel is probably only behind Black Panther in properties Marvel fans want on the screen that haven't been announced. Marvel is stated to have a plan through 2028...if a Ms. Marvel movie fits, great. If it doesn't, great. I'd rather them not shoehorn a movie in just to placate PC concerns. Ms. Marvel is an untested property, Wonder Woman is a brand, you really can't compare the two just because they are women.

I actually agree with this. I'm not a fan of the Gosling rumors.
Gosling as Nova or Moon Knight on the other hand....

Already had a film OF HER OWN. On that note, so did Catwoman.
And both movies flopped HARD, it's no wonder that both Marvel and DC are taking their time establishing female heroes before giving them a solo film. They have to make SOME business decisions.

I think you are probably right. I've always liked DCs characters more than Marvel (I consider Batman the most-interesting character in all of comics), but I have real concerns about the new film "universe". I'm concerned that Snyder & Co are trying to cram too many major characters into this film. I'm also pissed that DC still will not have an over-arching universe and that CW's "Arrow-verse" will not tie into the film universe.
Marvel/Disney has damn-near batted 1.000 with its universe by sticking with some fairly basic premises - give the fans what they want, cast solid leading actors, and give the writers and directors enough creative freedom to execute their ideas.
One positive thing that I don't think has been mentioned in any of the various DC film threads - Jason Momoa is going to be bad-arse as Aqua Man. He may be the one actor I am most-looking forward to seeing in a role. Who doesn't want to see Khal Frickin' Drogo?!

Seriously? Supergirl, Catwoman, Batgirl, Storm, Rogue, Elektra, Catwoman again, Invisible Woman... It's not like Marvel blazed a trail by including two or three women in their ten movies.
