Fox and Marvel's Gambit film that has been in the works since 2015 suffered another serious delay. Another director dropped out while Fox still wants filming itself to start by early 2017.

Quote:

Big news in the superhero movie world today, as director Doug Liman has exited the long-delayed Marvel project Gambit and has come aboard the DC Comics film Justice League Dark.

Sources told The Hollywood Reporter that the split for Gambit was a "mutual parting of ways" between Liman and Fox. Fox still wants to start production on Gambit in January 2017, the report said.

Production was originally scheduled to start in fall 2015, but then shifted to early 2016. According to The Hollywood Reporter, script rewrites caused the delays, including the latest one to move the production start date to early 2017.

According to the producer and director of Captain America: Civil War, they had a second ending planned in case Robert Downey Jr. decided to not return as the actor for Iron Man. Would have lead to around a third of the film being changed as a contingency plan.

Quote:

The Russo brothers talked to EW about how Downey Jr.'s original Marvel contract was fulfilled by the time work started on the third Captain America movie. Joe said, "[T]here was a period of time when we explored possibilities for Cap stories that did not include [Civil War]." Despite this, the idea for Civil War came about early and "it took over [the directors'] brains."

Speaking of taking over brains, Anthony revealed that they were thinking of revolving the third act around the Madbomb, which is a device that makes people crazy, causing them to be much more aggressive.

"It didn’t have anything to do with Civil War, and if we couldn't get Downey--in the very, very early conversations before we nailed him--somebody pitched the idea of a third-act that revolved around the Madbomb, which makes people crazy," Anthony said. "It almost like zombifies them--but not literally.

“The charm of the Madbomb is that you turn hordes of people into berserkers. That was the physical challenge that Cap and company would have had to face."

Joe added that there was a moral element to the Madbomb, in addition to the physical.

"The notion of the Madbomb would have been Cap having to fight civilians and how he would he handle that," Joe said. "We were always trying to put him into these interesting moral conundrums because of his nature. That would have made a compelling third act because if civilians are the antagonists, how could he stop them without killing them?"

An emotional component was also present, as Captain America would have had to fight his superhero friends, who would have been taken over by the Madbomb as well.

"Somebody you know has turned into a zombie and now you have to fight them," Anthony said.

But then Downey Jr. and Marvel Studios reached a deal, and everyone lived happily ever after. The end.

That sounds god aweful.

Fignuts 08-27-2016 05:43 AM

Yeah, thank fuck downey resigned.

Sixx 09-27-2016 09:08 AM

comics now made steve rogers more confusing than ever. one comic he's on carol's side, the other on tony's side and it's not like he switched, they just show him differently as they please apparently. not to mention that whole hydra bullshit.

Rammsteinmad 09-27-2016 09:13 AM

Are people still upset about that whole Hydra thing?

Sixx 09-27-2016 09:15 AM

upset? not really. do i think it's stupid? yes.

blah blah cosmic cube blah blah

but it sure is nice to see cap murder someone.

Sixx 09-27-2016 09:17 AM

you know, how those writers kept denying it's any kind of manipulation, not brain control, not anything then it turns out it's the cosmic cube. that's just lazy.

Rammsteinmad 09-27-2016 11:02 AM

Oh, I didn't realize it'd already been reversed haha. I just remember a huge backlash from people being angry that he was revealed as Hydra, and thinking that whatever it won't be permanent etc.

Sixx 09-27-2016 11:04 AM

yeah it was revealed to be the cosmic cube as soon as the next issue.

Rammsteinmad 09-27-2016 11:26 AM

Oh shit haha. Thought it'd be dragged out for a bit. Marvel probably buckled under the fan backlash.

Shadow 09-27-2016 04:53 PM

They didn't though. It was kinda planned from the get go.

Sixx 09-27-2016 05:44 PM

yeah, well, it's not like they write/draw issues monthly.

They usually do a month ot two in advance for alot of titles nowadays since they had problems meeting deadlines

Consistency across titles has been a huge problem at marvel for a while now.

it's true and for the most part it doesn't bother me THAT much, but it's a goddamn crossover, the same story. and one moment he's a freedom fighter and the second he's a goddamn nazi arresting people for shit they didn't do.

I'm not sure it's needed.
Perhaps what is needed instead is what they used to do many moons ago*

And it could be used to help give a time frame for certain upcoming events, like another one of Clerks bad rap rip offs*

A cosmic cube did it.

I mean in this case too. Off panel a cosmic cube keeps changing his character.

Lock Jaw 09-28-2016 09:11 PM

Or, if you prefer..... a wizard did it.

i'd much rather this was the case.

ClockShot 10-04-2016 06:03 PM

Mark your calendars.

Iron Fist............Netflix............March 17, 2017.

Fignuts 10-04-2016 06:24 PM

Damn, that is a long ass wait. Hopefully it's because they have a larger budget for the Kun Lun stuff. Of all the defenders, Iron Fist will be the hardest to represent with a small tv budget.

McLegend 10-04-2016 06:33 PM

That's not that long.

Fignuts 10-04-2016 06:53 PM

I meant it's gonna feel like a long wait. Fucking love Iron Fist.

Seems to be their standard model. Two a year.

Welp they're Terry Crews away from having the perfect cast.

Fignuts 10-30-2016 12:27 AM

Surprised this hasn't been talked about on here, but Tim Miller is off Deadpool 2, due to creative differences with Ryan Renolds. Miller apparently wanted a huge budget flashy superhero movie, while Renolds wants to keep the low key tone of the first movie. Renolds is now in serious talks with David Lietch who produced John Wick, and is attributed with much of that films awesomeness.

I'm with renolds. The tone and budget of the first film was a perfect fit for the character, and it sounds like it's in good hands with Lietch.

Fignuts 10-30-2016 12:34 AM

Also, am the only one who thinks it's kind of awkward and weird to have Cable debut in a deadpool movie? Like, I know they are rivals/allies whatever, but that's a small part of who Cable is. He is a time traveller who came from the future to stop Apocolypse. That is the whole reason for the character's existance. Deadpool is just a side feud from when he was training x-force. I don't even think tjey've been enemies since the 90's.

It just seems weird to have an Apocalypse movie without Cable, and then put him in a deadpool movie immediately afterward. Due to how epic his backstory and mission is, he just seems bigger than a deadpool movie to me.

Wishbone 10-30-2016 02:02 AM

Kinda agree about Cable, but given that I completely ignore the X-Men movies as I find them pretty bland at best and terrible at worst I'd prefer Deadpool's movies remain as distantly associated with them as possible. Let the X-Men in his universe be a completely different set of X-Men that are closer to the comics like they were in the first movie.

Dude the movie studios dont give a fuck. Seriously. The dont even pay attention to this shit. Some dipshit probably pitched the Cable/Deadpool fued and they rolled with it.

They don't give a shit about smaller details, and tney shouldn't, as it's better to focus on telling a good story than getting everything accurate to the comics. But maintaining what makes a character in the comics is important, and for the most part, studios have been doing really well with that thelast few years. I wouldn't even mention it if they hadn't.

Thougj I suppose out of all of them Fox has been the worst. For example Mystique as an inspirational, speech giving hero is fucking awful. She may as well have been a different character.

Anyway, I'm just commenting that it's weird. Don't really expect anything one way or the other.

Sixx 10-30-2016 06:10 AM

I'm fine with cable debuting in a deadpool movie. they always had a great chemistry and were hilarious together.
