[Movie/TV/Comic] Marvel Cinematic Universe: A place to talk all things Marvel

[Lucetia]

I predicted the change to 3 movies a years a couple of months ago.

Not to be rude, but they announced probably a year ago they were going to bump up to three movies a year. They just weren't sure which order or year it would start showing though.

Nope. He's one of their biggest assets on screen and in the publicity field. Don't forget that part of their job is to be marketable and attend PR events to promote the film. He's worth more than all of those people just because of that.

If I remember right I was reading an article (either posted here or on another site) that they were all complaining about wages and RDJ was complaining and trying to get the other actors wages improved from what they were (and wasn't trying to increase his). I'd have to look for the article later to look for all the details.

[Gallahadd]

Holy shit that's insane, it cant bode well for Iornman's fate either how long i wounder till they figure RDJ isn't worth the cost

especially considering how well the Iron Man movies have done in comparison to things like GoTG and Captain America.

Honestly I thought Avengers should have been renamed to RDJ and pals.

It wouldn't surprise me. Ever since getting clean, he's been one of the most upstanding actors I've seen. I haven't heard anyone say anything bad about him that has worked with him, which is why I said he's actually worth the money. He is candid, endearing, and helps bond their cast together. When we see him being Iron Man, he's really just playing himself with a little added snark.

Yeah.

Here's an article I found about it relating to Avengers 2, but its dated in 2013. I'll have to keep looking around for an updated article. News article here

Captain America actually has slightly more screentime in both movies.

So...Inhumans might be cancelled:

http://www.bleedingcool.com/2015/10/...o-war-with-tv/

Not sure how legit this is, but the gist of it is that while Marvel put Fiege in almost complete control of the movies, Perlmutter is still in charge of the television side of things. So there's now a big rift in the MCU between the Cinematic and Televisual side of things. I'm not sure whether this is a rights issue or if Fiege no longer wants to promote TV tie ins. But if true this could spell bad news for the MCU.

Honestly, I know that the narrative most fans are pushing is that Perlmutter is bad and it's good he's gone from the movies. But if this is the impact, I would have rather he stuck around. I didn't know who Perlmutter was until very recently, I was just told that he was stopping Marvel films from being good and stopping minority films from being greenlit. Even though I've loved all MCU films so far and female and minority lead films got green lit under his rule.

I don't believe the rumor currently, but I don't really care if it's true. I'd rather not focus on Phase 4 stuff, and Inhumans wasn't that intriguing a concept to me.

Inhumans is Phase 3. But in any case, I was quite interested by Inhumans. It sounded like it would be some sort of sci-fi game of thrones type deal. It sounded like a unique concept and the more of those we have the better.

More than that though, if this rumour is true then it could be indicative of larger troubles in the MCU. Whether you like the idea of Inhumans or not, a movie getting cancelled because of an internal rift between two of Marvel's biggest names is not good. I suppose the best we can hope for is that the end of this will be Perlmutter losing more power and creative control of the TV shows going over to Fiege as well.

Well, according to Bleeding Cool now, other sites have talked to what seem like
'better' sources saying that the movie is still going on, and that talking to the film
group is better for such things than the comics and tv groups.

But either way, the source contradicting their source had this to say:

Here’s how you will know that Marvel has cancelled the feature film. If you see the royal family, including Black Bolt, show up on the TV show, then there’s a good chance the feature division has finally changed their mind.

...the reason the film wasn’t in the press release was due to the line-up change, the film’s release date is currently subject to change. Perhaps the studio has made the decision to move the film about Marvel’s Royal Family to their Phase Four slate?

You know what I'd like to do? I'd like to do some big superhero villain in some Marvel classic. Create one from scratch... I don't know what I would do but it would be nasty.

I doubt that'll happen, but it'd be great to have him in the MCU.

I am going on the record today to say that [Jon Bernthal] is the best Punisher you have ever seen; ever imagined.
... You are going to freak out, he is terrifying.

I think if Inhumans is canceled, it'll be because they want to make something else more. Inhumans could make a nice tie-in with the Guardians side, but I really don't think it's that important to things. Inhumans might be a useful concept as Mutant Replacement, but the Royal Family? Meh.

This character Jessica Jones is such an adrenaline rush. I’ve never done stunts like this before. I have no experience. I may have punched a few people for real. But I think the stunt men kind of like it? They might get paid more? But I would break character a lot. I would be doing this stunt, and I’d hit somebody in the face and immediately be like ‘Oh my God I’m so sorry!’, just totally switch from badass Jessica Jones to Krystin Ritter, who is not badass. It was a process just getting comfortable with it.

At her core I think Jessica is a good person. I mean, she goes about things in a very odd way. She’s rough around the edges. She’s dry, she’s sarcastic. She’s basically a total asshole. But I think at her core she’s a good person. It’s about finding those little moments of vulnerability.

Jon Watts (Spider-Man reboot director) on what he might be drawing inspiration from for the film.

Have you been looking at any comics in particular to help shape that? Because, when I heard that, Ultimate Spider-Man was the first thing that sprung to mind…

Oh, I love that. Ultimate is great. I love Ultimate. We have the freedom to pull from anything, but I really like what [Brian Michael] Bendis did. A lot. That felt like… that was Peter Parker back in high school. And, spending as much time with his high school problems as it did with his superhero problems, which I think is really a lot of fun.

There’s also some really funny comics stuff, like, the Archies. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen the Spider-Man Loves Mary-Jane series, but they have this really great anime-style illustration, and it’s all just about Peter Parker’s relationships. It’s like the soap opera of Peter Parker in high school. Those are really funny, too.

I’m just sitting around reading comic books all day - it’s a pretty great job.

That sucks, I was enjoying the TV series because they are in the same universe and because of the tie ins. Yeah I like them because of their own thing too but it would suck if they seperated them.

Daredevil was only connected through small references and a few pictures. I don't see why it would change anything if Daredevil wasn't in the MCU.

There's already a seperation between the 2, Whedon made it clear with his parting shots.

Thats the reason that Coulson didn't appear in Age of Ultron, despite him being alive and well in Agents of Shield.

They can get away with it with the "Netflix MCU" because these are smaller heroes, and won't really be fighting in the same league as the major heroes (even though there comic book counterparts do), all they have to do is throw in a few references to the movies and we're golden. The "Agents of Shield MCU" however is a big mess if its not being linked to the movies. But then i've always though AoS was gonna fuck things up when they brought Coulson back.

[Tierbook]

Talking on the budget of the Marvel movies the total amount spent on the 12 movies of the MCU from Hulk to Ant-man is 2.09 billion dollars. Domestically they have earned a combined 3.59 billion dollars and overseas they have earned 8.97 billion dollars. The actual profitability for the Mouse House is up in the air as they didn't make the first few add in the 4 billion they paid for Marvel and it's kind of murky. But it's a safe bet that after next years Civil war and Dr. Strange that they will have easily topped 10 billion worldwide..... also Ant-man has yet to reach China I think so there's a little more money.

I'm pretty sure Coulson not appearing in AoU was Whedon's personal decision though. Now he's gone so...

[Arrowstormen]

So far, AoS has been based on the fact that "hey, it's linked to and affected by things happening in the MCU!", but the MCU has never indicated that the shows exist. I also doubt it will happen, it's much easier for the show-people to take notes from the movies than the other way around, and they probably don't want to stop and explain why Coulson is alive.

It still annoys me. He would have slotted perfectly into Fury's place in the film with a brief line drop about it being a long story or whatever (or even explaining project TAHITI) and then the rest of the cast could have cameo'd in the Hellicarier scene. It defeats the point of them being in a shared universe if the connection only goes one way. Honestly the whole treatment of the show annoys me. They put so little faith in it. With Marvel's profits it could have had the production values of Game of Thrones.
