Marvel digs deep for next slate of movies

[GrnMarvl14]

Not entirely certain why Marvel's going in these directions, but it's definitely a strange list:

Black Panther. The only one that's not a deep dig. Black Panther's been a big rumor for quite a while, so it's only a surprise to see it maybe, possibly, actually getting made and released. Maybe we can even get it out in time for him to be in Avengers 2.

Guardians of the Galaxy. All but confirmed, it's set to be announced at San Diego Comic-Con next month. Been rumored since last year, and with their recent return in a storyline featuring the big mystery villain from the Avengers film...it's a safe bet they're on the way (now to wonder who's going to be on the team).

Big Hero 6. The first Disney-animated Marvel film. Love the team, but no idea why they've picked them. And the big question is whether Silver Samurai and Sunfire will be in it, since both are X-Men properties, which Fox currently has the rights to (plus Silver Samurai's rumored to be the Wolverine 2 villain).

Human Fly. Not the Spider-Man villain (for the...two people who know who THAT even is). This is the far more obscure hero based on a real person who briefly had his own series in the 70s (or was it 80s?). Looks to be a low-budget indie film.

There's also Ant-Man. Still being slowly developed, but coming along nonetheless. I mean, hey, there's a script now. And some test footage. That's something. Still trying to figure out Human Fly, though...

Wasn't there suppose to be a Dr. Strange and Deadpool movie in the works?

 

[GrnMarvl14]

Yeah. Ryan Reynolds is pushing for a Rated-R Deadpool, but that's the only progress I've heard.

Dr. Strange was announced, but that's where it's been at. I assume they're writing the script and working on casting, though.

Wasn't there going to be an Iron Man 3? I've seen people say they're looking forward to it. Maybe there's actually no announcement. I really want this movie, Iron Man is the best and Robert Downey Jr. did him perfectly.

Yeah. Ryan Reynolds is pushing for a Rated-R Deadpool, but that's the only progress I've heard.

Aw, I'd watch a Deadpool movie if it wasn't R-Rated. It doesn't need that sort of junk to be a funny movie.

Yes, Iron Man 3 is confirmed for next year if I remember correctly, filming is already going on, and I heard from somewhere the Mandarin will be the villain.

While I am at the age where I can watch R-Rated movies alone, I think it would be better off as a PG-13 movie, as it doesn't need the "Seth MacFarlane" kind of humor put into it, if you're trying to make it super-violent (like Watchmen violent), I'm fine with that, but Deadpool is too intelligent of a concept in my opinion to be doing humor that low

Ah, I see! Thanks for letting me know. I can't wait.

Though, I'm probably going to skip seeing it in theaters and wait until I can rent or buy it. My ears are sensitive and the first two Iron Man movies were pretty loud in the movie theater. xP

This film has to include The Cramps' song Human Fly, even if they have to blow their budget getting the song, it'll be worth it.
