I like Blade as well (he's way better in the comics than in the movies imho, cracks a joke from time to time and stuff) but I mostly read his solo books when they're a part of some crossover or something.

Apoc looks alright.

Blade basically kept the super hero movie genre afloat in time for the MCU to be born.

Tilda Swinton scored a Dr. Strange role. A big one.

The Ancient One eh? Interesting.

Had no idea Chiwetel Ejiofor was in it as well.

Fucking sweet. Tilda Swinton is one of my favorite actresses. Doesn't get enough praise imo.

Why hasn't Dr. Mactaggert not aged from the First class movie to the closing credit scene in The Last Stamd?

Because they are different actresses.

Yes, but is First Class happened in the 60's, shouldn't Mactaggert be 50 or 60 years old in Last Stand?

I see what you're asking, but think about what you're saying:

What would you have Fox do?

- Go back in time and recast her in Last Stand to be older?

Or

- Go back in time and recast her in First Class to be significantly younger?

I see what you're asking, it just seems silly to ask. Also consider the First Class trilogy to be a soft reboot to begin with.

So why isn't Banshee in the new one coming out?

Wasn't Banshee one of the ones being autopsied/experiemented on in DOFP?
In any event Wolverine changed the past so as of DOFP, Last Stand never happened and the other 2 movies may not have happened the same way either, if at all. Wolverine changed the past

Yeah, Banshee is dead.

Yep the timeline was changed, that's why we get a new Deadpool I believe.

We'd get a new Deadpool timeline change or not.

No doubt but the timeline change makes it more reasonable, wonder if Deadpool mentions the other version in this film.

Oh he certainly will.

So apparently Punisher

Time to bring back the female Punisher. Or minority/LGBT/diverse in some other way Punisher.

Blade's daughter is totes cool, tho.

Lesbian Arab female.

Also, pregnant.

Yeah I wouldn't be worried about people being reported dead. It's all part of Secret Wars and I'm thinking they'll all come back. Well....maybe not all of them

Actually, Punisher's death wasn't a part of the Secret Wars at all.

The thing is that with 8 months later not everyone in the 616 universe may have come from there so there is a chance we will get a Frank or Francis Castle sooner or later.
Besides the "White Event" may have saved him.

I'd much rather have them completely ignore his death and just bring him back like nothing happenned. None of that Frankencastle and Angel Frank bullshit.

So many iterations or every character running around on Battleworld right now (including it seems an army of cloned Summers) it is hard to know who we will get.

There was also an army of Wolverines (including some stupid things like Spider-Wolverine and Hulk-Wolverine) and an army of Beasts in this or last week's issues.

Once again, this event is plain ridiculous and confusing as fuck.

Sooooooon.

Squirrel Girl is awesome. Met EH, the author today at Boston Comic Con.

This does seem better than Ultimate Spidey and Avengers Assemble.

Well considering how Ultimate Spider-Man came off the heels of Spectacular and AA came off of EMH and a lot of people were pissed about the cancellation of both...yeah, I'd say this is a step up.

Not sure if this belongs here or in the hasn't-been-active-in-three-month Civil War thread, but Nerdist posted the rumored "sides" in the Civil War movie. They don't source anybody directly, so take this with a grain of salt.

TEAM STEVE


TEAM TONY


With and remaining neutral until something or other drags them into it.

Again, the article just says "according to a new rumor," so who knows how accurate this is, if at all. Seems at least slightly logical, as it means we'll see and along with the obvious Steve vs. Tony which will lead to some shit down the line, I'm sure.

Anyway, discuss. Or tell me to move it to the other thread. Ball's in your court, y'all.

I don't think Spidey is choosing a side, he's in as a cameo more than anything. Everything body else seems to fit.

Also worth considering Agents of SHIELD characters.

Only time will tell with the AoS peeps. But...I'm half suspecting that Spider-Man won't be a cameo but a major player who gets introduced to the MCU from the first scene.

Word is they've shot a ton of shit with stuntmen in the Spidey suit. Parker will likely only be in a bit, but it sounds like the web slinger has a bigger part than we'd originally thought.

From the rumors it seems like Spiderman's role is a tad bigger than a cameo so he just might switch sides like he did in the comics.
