WELCOME TO THE MARVEL MULTIVERSE -*RIP STAN LEE & Boseman* - XMEN97 release 3/20

How does SHIELD not have those Hydra energy guns? I'm looking at the first captain america and I realized that this movie is not half bad. There's just no surprises, great performances, and nothing is really revolutionary. But, what it does have is a decent story that's straight-forward, good cast that fulfills their roles, and a good demonstration of Captain America's fighting skill and power.
Cap will no doubt have the best Marvel trilogy.

Cap will no doubt have the best Marvel trilogy.
One was great and the other was average.

The 3rd would have to be the greatest action flick of the year bar none.
 
Cap will have the best trilogy but he has so much help at this point, it's not even fair :lol:

Not even sure Cap 3 should even have Captain America in the title. They should've just retitled it , Marvel: Civil War with all the people they're going to have in it.

:lol: Yeah I already forgot Cap 3 is Civil War and that it'll be filled with Iron Man, Spider-Man, Falcon, Winter Soldier, probably Black Widow and Hawkeye, and maybe Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch.

I've heard talk of Zemo but I'm not sure it's been established who is the clear cut villain in that movie :lol:

If we look at things like that Thor 2 could've been better if they added in more Avengers.

Yea, man

Think about it, guys.. If Spiderman plays any kind of role in CW, Captain American won't even be the 2nd most popular guy in his own movie (behind Spidey, behind Iron Man) :lol:
 
Zik, my theory - and there's a good chance I'm wrong - is that they're going to keep all the juiced up superpowers away from CW ie. Thor, Hulk, Scarlet, Vision, Quicksilver - leaving Iron Man to be the most powerful person in the movie.

I basically said similar in my reviews for Cap2 TWS. I never liked Cap much in the comics but I knew his stuff got better when Brubaker took over. The first Cap movie was a real let down even though I didn't care much for dude but the sequel managed to make me love everything else going on in the movie. So while I didn't care for Cap's personality they had him playing off the right characters the entire time and fighting the right bad guys.

It's pretty much clear as day Civil War be even more than that. Probably even more scenes without Cap in them or ones where he barely says much in discussions.

Possible.

I do think they'll need a few powered characters in it to play up the need for registration though. I agree Thor and Hulk won't be in it. I need to see in AOU how powerful SW is before I feel she too should be sidelined.

I'm just thinking the label of "Cap's Kooky Quartet" will be Cap, Falcon, SW, and QS and the rest of the movie will have the aforementioned showing up having one view on the topic or multiple. I also feel the Vision has a good chance of showing up alongside Iron Man for w/e reason. I think Marvel will want to raise the profile of the newer Avengers as much as they can,
 
I wonder if we see a villain in Cap 3. I imagine Cap is gon be on the hunt for Bucky.
 
seems like they used cap 2 to set up the crossbones/search for bucky story arc though

wonder if they knew cap 3 would be civil war back then 
 
Seems like the promotion for AOU is a bit quiet. I know they don't need it, but it's still quiet.

Hearing the runtime got me excited

i dont need to see any move footage of the movie, my body is ready

with that being said any new trailer that drops will be watched at least 41 times
 
I actually saw several commercials during the NBA All Star weekend. No new footage but I saw at least one or two commercials an hour throughout the whole weekend.

It's still about 3 months away and we'll see more and more commercials including merchandising and toys soon enough.
 
You guys think they'll find a way to reference Spidey in AoU at all?

My bet still is a car/something heavy us about to fall on a whole bunch of people, but then it mysteriously gets caught in some webbing

:smile:
 
In a lengthy interview with Empire Online, Robert Downey Jr. has talked in detail about both meeting The Vision (played by Paul Bettany, a.k.a. J.A.R.V.I.S.) in Avengers: Age of Ultron for the first time and returning as Tony Stark in Captain America: Civil War. Is Iron Man the threequel's villain? He also weighs in on the recent revelation from Joss Whedon that the director doesn't intend to return for Avengers: Infinity War. Below are some highlights, though the full version can be found by clicking on the link below. Share your thoughts on his comments in the usual place!

On The Introduction Of The Vision In Avengers: Age of Ultron:

[Jon] Favreau was visiting the set and went, ‘JARVIS, what did they [frick]in’ do to you?’ I would maybe see Bettany on the street or at a premiere party, maybe. And the suit? Everybody has to pay their pound of flesh. I remember on Iron Man 2 when Cheadle came out in the Mark II, it’s the least comfortable suit, by their own admission, designed for any movie and he came out and stopped the party. I looked at him and it was right before lunch and he’d been in it for three hours. I thought, ‘Poor Don’, but you gotta do it. And for Bettany, they did a number on him with this absolutely awesome Ultron look, and it also reminded me of the times when I’ve been in special effects make-up. The very first thing he had to do was perch on the end of a precipitous ledge and stand up at the right time with the wind blowing and look right down the barrel, and 20 other things were happening, and it was like, ‘Yep, welcome’. But when - and I won’t give much of anything away - Vision gets to express and enter and find his place in earnest respect on the playing field, it was like an exceptionally well-executed, poetic, badass, “Aha!” moment for all of us. Joss was very particular about that in a different way than he was with Jimmy. I think people are going to get a kick out of the creative decisions about how Vision fits in.


On Joss Whedon Possibly Not Returning For The Two Part Avengers: Infinity War:

It’s funny, nobody really ever goes away entirely from the Marvel universe. I’m sure whatever’s going on in ten years, whether I’m receiving a red cent or whether anyone still associates me with the product, there’s still always going to be a level as long as anybody from the original team is there, where you’re connected. More than I would miss him, I would be remiss to say that these are such Herculean gigs, so it’s important for Joss to take all the leverage he’s earned and to apply it to something else. Ultimately he’s a creator, and I think what he did is he’s very aptly taken pre-existing material and spun it into something that feels like a creation.


Why He Decided To Join The Cast Of Captain America: Civil War:

I’m crazy about Evans. I really am. I don’t know why or how to explain this particular kinship we have. By the way, he hasn’t called me in six months. Honestly, in order for this whole thing to have worked, I did my part, Hemsworth knocked it out of the stadium and then it fell on Cap. That was the riskiest. It was the one that had the highest degree of difficulty in making it translate to a modern audience. It was the Russos and Chris who, I think, really hit the line drive and won the series. I remember glancing through it going, “Wow, that’s a different way to go”. They said, “If we have you, we can do this or Cap 3 has to be something else”. It’s nice to feel needed.


On The Significance Of The Movie And His Role In The MCU Moving Forwards:


At this point it ceases about being about announcements of contracts and deal points and Forbes and all that. And to see Chadwick being announced for Black Panther, I go, ‘Wow, man, Marvel is making all the right moves and they’re not doing it because it’s PC, they’re doing it because it’s exciting’. So why would I be the one to go, ‘I’m not going on the road. I don’t get along with the keyboardist’. Who cares? Who cares? And look, I also recognise that I’ll be turning 50 by the time I promote this movie. The clock is ticking down on the amount of memories and participation that I would allow myself and not embarrass the medium with. And when they pitched it to me and when I had a couple of ideas and when they said we like those ideas, let’s do those. Then there’s all this competition too. I don’t do this because I look at it as a competition, but I look at the marketplace and go, ‘Maybe if these two franchises teamed up and I can take even a lesser position in support, with people I like and directors I respect, maybe we can keep things bumping along here a little longer than they might have’.



On Whether Tony Stark Will Be Captain America: Civil War's Main Antagonist:

Yeah. Again, it’s natural to change your views. The main thing to me is, and this is where I think the Russos are quite brilliant and where Kevin backed the play, is what sort of incident could occur and what sort of framework could we find Tony in? The clues are in Ultron about where we might find him next. But what would it take for Tony to completely turn around everything he’s stood for, quote-unquote, because he was the right-wing guy who could still do his own thing. When the first Iron Man came out the liberals and conservatives were both like, ‘You’re our guy’. Yes! Score! But the idea of Tony being able to march into Washington and say, ‘I’ll sign up’, wouldn’t have made sense if the political climate in the real world hadn’t shifted the way it has. It’s a little bit of things following a real world continuum in, ‘What would you do?’ There’s always the bigger overarching question, that Joss brings up all the time - it’s kind of weird that these guys would have all these throw downs all over planet Earth and it looked like a little collateral damage happened over there, and yet when the movie’s over, it’s like nobody minds. You have to figure, ‘Were you to ask the question, what would the American government do if this were real? Wouldn’t it be interesting to see Tony doing something you wouldn’t imagine?’


On Whether He Sees Iron Man As The Threequel's Villain:

I wouldn’t put it that way. Ultimately it’s Steve’s story; it doesn’t say ‘Iron Man 4: Civil War’. I think that’s great too. I think Chris [Evans] has been hungry to bring even more of an underside and some shadow to that. I remember the comics - on the surface you got the sense that Cap was baseball and apple pie, but underneath there was all this churning stuff of being a man out of time. Now we know he’s made his peace with that. What’s the bigger issue? It can have a little something to do with the past, but it can be about someone becoming more modernised in their own conflict.
 
Seems like the promotion for AOU is a bit quiet. I know they don't need it, but it's still quiet.

Hearing the runtime got me excited :nthat:

Cant remember which video but Grace Randolph said that 50% of Guardians budget was spent on the week before release. I have a feeling that they are doing the same strategy here.
