The Avengers, AoU, Infinity War, & Endgame films

[The Twilight Mexican]

Another (mostly)* good interview with the writers that confirms or clarifies things some of us already thought.

*Unsure why the interviewer was confused about the Gamora thing

More interview questions with the writers.

Spoiler

I wonder what direction (if any) the MCU will eventually go with the implications of Steve and Peggy's marriage. Hopefully it's left as the writers intended -- with Cap always being Peggy's husband -- despite the Russo brothers having thought about it differently.

Endgame will get a re-release with some additional post-credits footage

“Not an extended cut, but there will be a version going into theaters with a bit of a marketing push with a few new things at the end of the movie,” Feige told Screen Rant. “If you stay and watch the movie, after the credits, there’ll be a deleted scene, a little tribute, and a few surprises.”
The rerelease will reportedly debut June 28.

They only need a tiny bit more to beat Avatar for the top spot of highest grossing movie. Guess this is how they do it.

Iirc Avatar re-released too so it's fair game!

I'm somewhat amused considering Cameron's apparent jealousy and dislike of the MCU. At the same time hey here's this mega corp demanding even more of our money for a dick measuring contest. How about paying all your employees a livable wage with all that extra money Disney?

I'll watch it because I already wanted to see the movie a third time but didn't get a chance but the greed in display here is ridiculous, is not even an extended cut.

 

[Lulcielid]

The 22nd movie of a prestablished franchise and sequel to another movie, becoming the highest grossing movie of our time doesn't have the same flavour as an original IP having that title.

I'd be fine with it being #2 though.

[Tetsujin]

That all sounds...underwhelming.

 

[rimavelle]

Oh no, they making DLCs to movies now... It's Endgame Royal Edition. This is what you get for watching day one! /joke
I'm gonna pass. Spidey is the only thing i'm looking forward to now.

Here's the full Comic-Con panel:

A lot of Disney+ shows announced with some of the mainline characters, could be interesting. I hope they can make those work though, the Netflix series were all kinda lame if you ask me.

 

[rimavelle]

Black Widow and Blade hype!

Netflix series were all kinda lame if you ask me.

First seasons were good and then things kinda got worse, but I liked them all anyway. With D+ it's better that they are connected to the movies and not shy away like Netflix did.

Friggin' impressive stuff, man.

Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye) Out Of Surgery For Blunt Chest Trauma, Still Critical But Stable In Intensive Care.

Deadline has an update on Jeremy Renner, whom we revealed yesterday was airlifted to a hospital in Reno yesterday in “critical but stable condition with injuries suffered after experiencing a weather related accident while plowing snow.” We are now told that Renner had surgery today, and is in recovery but still in critical condition. Also that his family is most grateful for the outpouring of his support from fans everywhere.

This from his reps:

“We can confirm that Jeremy has suffered blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries and has undergone surgery today, January 2nd 2023. He has returned from surgery and remains in the intensive care unit in critical but stable condition.

So, Robert Downey jr coming back to the MCU to play Dr. Doom? Really not sure how I feel about that one…

 

[I will set you free]

Well.... in the comics exists an alternate timeline where stark becomes doom instead of iron man. He's known as Dr doom the infamous iron man. I think fans were speechless cause hes iron man but actors can do multiple roles it's just weird for many. I'd like to see captain hydra but than again cap all the way forever. For your post though RDJ is up for challenge so we should embrace his attempt. I'm sure he's gonna have fun with it. The present arc is finished so he's doing something new.

 

[GamerSkull]

Honestly, bringing RDJ back feels like desperation to me. I suppose it could still work but I'm pretty cynical about the MCU these days.
