Is that Mary Jane? Is she an Iron Woman now?

Blonde Moment 02-08-2016 10:30 PM

She is a supporting character now. Got tired of her businesses being trashed in NY city all the time and moved out to where Tony is and ended up with her new Nightclub trashed,,,,

Sixx 02-08-2016 11:57 PM

yeah, iron man is one of the few titles that aren't painful to read.

also, 2 x-men books, one with old man logan, young jean grey, etc. and another with "bad" x-men lead by magneto

deadpool is weird (weirder than usual) but it gets a pass.

contest of champions is probably the dumbest now, no idea what it's about.

Hate that Falcon is captain america. Just doesn't feel like cap. Feels more like they just slapped an american flag skin on falcon.

Then again I've always thought Falcon was lame.

I agree, but even he proved that it was never the costume but the man who wore it, Falcon will always just be Falcon in a Cap uniform.

yes, that's true. i should probably mention that i think he was a much better replacement cap in my opinion, because he's an all around cooler character in my book.

Fignuts 02-13-2016 01:33 AM

It was built up so well, too.

"Game of Thrones" star Finn Jones will play the titular martial arts master in "Iron Fist," according to a new report from Entertainment Weekly.

drave 02-25-2016 06:07 PM

someone say titties?

Emperor Smeat 02-25-2016 07:12 PM

Like a lot of comic movie-based actor announcements, already outrage online due to the actor being white and people assuming or wanting someone else instead.

Part of it is due more to the recent "whitewashing" Oscars outrage and Marvel not doing themselves any favors by interviewing a bunch of Asian-American actors making it seem like the character was going to played by an Asian actor.

Also doesn't help that there is a really old stereotype when it comes to white people playing martial arts characters.

Fignuts 02-25-2016 07:19 PM

Iron Fist is a blond white dude. So they cast a blond white dude.

The fuck is the outrage about?

Fucking overtly PC bitches. If they made a Bill Clinton biopic, tjey'd probably complain if he wasn't played by a spanish-african transexual.

Lock Jaw 02-25-2016 07:23 PM

Yeah.... if he were an Asian dude in the comics and they cast a white dude that would be one thing, but now people are getting angry because a white dude was cast to play a white dude?

Emperor Smeat 02-25-2016 07:38 PM

Think the history of the character's backstory is also playing a role in the outrage. Its part of a really old stereotype of how a white guy gets his martial arts abilities when writers don't want the character to actually be Asian.

McLegend 02-25-2016 07:52 PM

The outrage is dumb.

Fignuts 02-25-2016 08:15 PM

Tony Jaa should have been batman

Fignuts 02-25-2016 08:17 PM

White Men Can't Split Kick.

Lock Jaw 02-25-2016 08:21 PM

Should have just cast Idris Elba, then everybody would have been happy

That's Iron Fist's whole thing. He's looked down on by all the martial artists because he's rich and white, yet he becomes so great he earns their respect and whatever.

X-Men spin-off film Gambit got delayed indefinitely and currently dropped out of Marvel's lineup of comic films.

Quote:

As reported by CBR, Gambit was originally scheduled to be released on October 6 this year. However, the loss of original director Rupert Wyatt last September meant a delay in the start of production. In January, it was reported that the film would start shooting in March, with Edge of Tomorrow's Doug Liman now directing. Fox' sci-fi feature Alien: Covenant will move into Gambit's original slot.

Disney's CEO recently stated they have no plans on making any R-rated Marvel films as a response to questions about Deadpool's success as an R-rated film leading them to do the same.

Quote:

Fox's R-rated super hero movie Deadpool was a huge hit and Batman v Superman may get an R-rated home video cut, so you might be wondering if Disney would follow suit with its own adult-oriented Marvel movies. That's not going to happen, at least not anytime soon, according to Disney CEO Bob Iger.

"We don't have any plans to make R-rated Marvel movies," Iger said during a call with shareholders today, as reported by Polygon.

There's only one thing in the Marvel comics that got me interested lately and it's the Avengers Pleasant Hill story.

Check it out, when you get the chance.

Luke Cage goes live on Netflix on September 30th. Announced by the man himself Mike Colter.

ClockShot 04-07-2016 07:45 PM

Cloak & Dagger has been given a series order on Freeform (formally ABC Family).

Marvel announced next year's Spiderman film will have cameos by other Marvel Cinematic Universe characters.

Quote:

Iconic Marvel superhero Spider-Man joins the Marvel Cinematic Universe in this May's Captain America: Civil War, appearing alongside other famous heroes like Iron-Man and Captain America. Now, it's been confirmed that 2017's standalone Spider-Man movie will see the wall-crawling web-slinger joined by other MCU characters, though at this stage, it's not clear who.

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige shared the news with Entertainment Weekly today. "[Spider-man] is in the universe now, and the fun of the universe is that characters go back and forth," Feige said.

Tom Holland will play a 15-year-old Peter Parker in the new Spider-Man movie, a reboot that will be directed by Cop Car's Jon Watts.

So it's official.

http://www.comicbookresources.com/ar...g-jon-bernthal

Frank Castle is back. Entertainment Weekly has learned that Marvel and Netflix have ordered a "Punisher" series, spinning off of "Daredevil" season two. The series will star Jon Bernthal, reprising his role as the Punisher, and "Hannibal's" Steve Lightfoot will serve as showrunner.

Sixx 04-29-2016 09:57 AM

Already a teaser

drave 04-29-2016 10:01 AM

Sweet. Really enjoyed this version of Punisher and if is even HALF as good as the Daredevil series, it will not disappoint.

Sixx 04-29-2016 10:06 AM

Yeah, at first I really hated that casting, but now I think Jon Bernthal was the best Punisher so far.

Sixx 04-29-2016 10:07 AM

Also, he refrained himself from scratching/touching his head all the time like he did on Walking Dead, so kudos to him.

Every acting coach will tell you the same thing. Give a manurism or quirk to the character you're playing. We as humans all have them. Shane's was the head rub, not the actors however. Im sure if we rewatched his Frank Castle we'd find he too has a quirk.


As far as this being a series...it will be good but I wish they werent making it. It'd rather have him as a loose cannon popping up almost randomly in the defenders runs.

Sixx 04-29-2016 10:58 AM

Don't go all serious on me, brah.

JON BERNTHAL CAN'T STOP RUBBING HIS HEAD

drave 04-29-2016 11:37 AM

BECAUSE HE SHAVED HIS FRO AND HIS SCALP IS ITCHY!!!!!


Shoulda tried some Selsun Blue or Pert Plus.

Sixx 05-08-2016 07:05 PM

So, Steve Rogers is back to being an Aryan ubermensch.

Fignuts 05-10-2016 12:41 AM

So not only is wolverine 3 rated r but the producer has confirmed it takes place in the future and has a very "western" feel to it.

So, looks like we are getting Old Man Logan. Going to have to change things quite a bit given who's in the original story.

Kalyx triaD 05-10-2016 01:07 PM

Like I says before, adapting the tone and theme is more important than adapting characters.

Dragonball Evolution had the characters.

Sixx 05-10-2016 01:11 PM

I wonder who they'll use.

Gonna need to change the story, it won't work without the Banner clan.

Best they could replace him with is probably Blob and I just don't see it somehow.

Simple Fan 05-10-2016 06:50 PM

Being set in the future I wouldn't expect Magneto or Professor X in it. Would love to see Deadpool replace Hawkeye since he should still be alive and he has experience with the X-Men universes version of a super soldier formula. Omega Red and Juggernaut could be some villains that control the US. I think they can do it justice.

Kalyx triaD 05-10-2016 07:08 PM

Actually Patrick Stewart is confirmed in there for his final go as Prof X.
