TPWW Forums - Marvel Universe Thread

This next phase has such a good bunch of directors, from the Russos, who by all accounts have knocked it out the park with Captain America 2 - I've seldom heard buzz from the editing room as good as that movie. Avengers 2 will be Joss Whedon's baby, and reaction to James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy has been brilliant. Even after the tough journey of two and half years making Iron Man 3 as good as it can be, I don't just have respect for Marvel as unit; I'm honored for my time there, and I'm constantly talking to them about what we do next.

- Drew Pearce, curiously still in the loop of the MCU.

He also says Cap 2 is getting a lot of buzz on the inside.

So despite the fact that Thanos is in GotG, Ronan is apparently the character that Drax has a fundamental need to kill, and who caused the tragedy in his life.

Obviously not a huge deal, but seems pointless.

Thanos is probably going to be in Guardians as much as he was in The Avengers.... just behind the scene masterminding stuff.

Kevin feige recently stated that while not the main villain, Thanos is playing a much larger role than he did in the Avengers.

Sucks that Captain America isn't until April.

Just watched all the Marvel one shots and gotta say I really enjoyed.

Short but sweet, especially liked the one with Coulson at a gas station. The Matrix effects kinda cracked me up, wouldn't expect that.

That reminds me to go see if I can find a copy of the Agent Carter one shot.

Sixx	09-08-2013 04:56 PM

It's supposed to be released on September 24. At least that's what wikipedia says.

Lock Jaw

09-08-2013 05:02 PM

Yeah, released with the Iron Man 3 Blu-Ray. There are blu-ray rips of Iron Man 3 to be found on the interwebs, though, so I assumed it was already out.

Found one torrent of the Agent Carter one shot but it is like 3GB, which is way bigger than if you were download a full length movie. So it is probably fake/some virus. Just gonna wait.

XL	09-08-2013 05:08 PM

Isn't IM3 out tomorrow anyway?

The Destroyer

Came out in the UK already, so the release dates must vary region to region.

XL	09-09-2013 05:15 PM

That's why I was asking. I find it odd that we get anything early/first in the UK.

I think we got Thor in Poland before US got it.

And Australia was first to get it anyway.

In the past year the UK has been getting everything first.

Don't know the official reason as to why.

Lock Jaw

09-09-2013 07:56 PM

EXTENSIVE STUDIES have shown that if it is released in the US first, the UK will be nothing but a filthy bunch of pirates and download it and then never buy it.

On the flip side, if it comes out in the UK first, there are still filthy pirates in the US, but the US sales still stay strong despite them.

Lock Jaw

09-09-2013 07:57 PM

I just made that up.

Probably true, though.

Filthy pirates.

Where can I see the one shots besides torrents? Maybe a stream site? I'm guessing they're shorts?

I only own IM1, Hulk and Avengers from the MCU so yeah, just curious.

Heh, I just saw Iron Man 3 on Blu-Ray in a basket at a local equivalent of Walmart.

XL	09-10-2013 05:43 PM

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will be shown on Channel 4 over here, totally expected it to be a satellite/cable job. Pretty stoked about that.

The Destroyer

09-11-2013 04:11 AM

Yeah and they're showing it pretty soon after it's been on in the US too, which is nice.

The only shows we get really soon after their US premiere here are the HBO shows. A 1 to 6 days delay.

No wonder so many non-Americans download stuff online.

The UK generally isn't too bad, but there's at least one series I watch where it's running a full year behind the US. :(

I haven't watched a show on UK tv since like 2004 or something.

The delay is one thing. The other is I can't dedicate myself to watching the shows on TV. Like, I won't change my plans to make it on time to watch TV. That and the commercials. Watching shit on my PC is way better cause I can do it whenever I please and I can just pause whenever I need a pissbreak.

And it seems Agent Carter's One Shot (packed with Iron Man 3) may be something of a TV pilot in the sense that Item 47 and the Coulson One Shots evolved into Agents of SHIELD. Like SHIELD, this may be an ABC exclusive with IGN pointing out that an Agent Carter vehicle fits well with ABC's family/women demo.

The possibility of two MCU shows tingles.

An Agent Carter show would be awesome.

Have they even cast someone for the lead role yet?

No. Hope that note gets dropped by next SDCC. Maybe as early as NYCC.

Why did I think it was going to be Simon Pegg in the lead role?

Just watched the Agent Carter one-shot. Pretty decent, I guess. Liked the cameo at the end.

“Feelers had been sent out,” the website reports, “and I hear there’s already interest from digital platforms and traditional cable networks in the package, which I hear is in very early stages with very little talent attached.”

According to a report by Variety, the casting position for Marvel Studios' next leading man is down to two. Ant-Man, the first "Phase 3" movie coming July 31, 2015 from writer/director Edgar Wright reportedly has Paul Rudd and Joseph Gordon-Levitt down as its final front-runners.
