The Wolverine is out now, for your viewing pleasure.

Thor: The Dark World is out this holiday, and has an awesome new trailer!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npvJ9FTgZbM

Captain America: Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy are currently filming. Marvel has signed RDJ to reprise Iron Man in Avengers 2 & 3. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. this fall on ABC. Iron Man 3 hits Blu-ray and DVD on 9/24.

Subsidiary Marvel projects including Amazing Spider-Man 2 and X-Men: Days of Future Past are also currently in production. The Fantastic Four reboot currently seems to have stalled out.

DC is on track to continue ruining the hopes and souls of children by making Man of Steel 2: Also Batman. Then a Flash movie where he gains his speed by devouring live kittens, probably. Who knows?

Discuss.

    I'm thinking about checking out a matinee of The Wolverine tomorrow. I hear the guy from Van Helsing is in it.

    "What X-Force is – the way I talk about X-Force is… X-Men is about mutants, and not all the mutants get into the mansion. So I’m curious to tell a story about the mutants who don’t make it into the mansion... I’m a huge Deadpool fan, who doesn’t love Wolverine – but obviously Cable is an iconic character we haven’t seen onscreen yet. I love Psylocke, Domino is an amazing character – it’s a long list of characters that have appeared in X-Force – Colossus is in the current lineup… There’s a lot of really exciting characters that you can use in X-Force that have been in other movies, that haven’t shown up, or maybe there’s ways to re-imagine them, even though they might’ve shown up in other films."

    X-Force perhaps?

    sounds cool

    I don't have anything against cable, but he isn't iconic.

    I also dread seeing sexy domino and psylocke.

    As if they aren't already sexy.

    Cable, huge guns in hand, yelling as he rides a machine of questionable origin, is the icon of 90s comics.

    They'll have to use most of the FX budget creating the muscles that Liefeld thinks a human should have.

    OK man of steel 2:also batman is pretty great

  • UnbreakableVowUnbreakableVow Registered User regular
    I really enjoyed the first issue of Guardians of the Galaxy and kinda don't wanna wait for the trade

    I might head out this weekend and pick up the next few issues and then actually keep up with it

    I'm already keeping up with Killjoys so why not

    I need a good place to keep flimsy-ass regular comic books

  • AngryAngry The glory I had witnessed was just a sleight of handRegistered User regular
    Bag and box.

    It's one of the main reasons I started only buying trades.

    Well because I really don't want to drive all over town and near me is once of the worst comic shops in town
    It's a secret
    I set up a box with someone in PA and buy my comics from him and then wait the two weeks it takes to arrive to read them
    It's far cheaper and easier than driving for 2 hours to get a few comics

    X force anything less than it's over the top iconic 90's edition would seem lame

    I'd rather they use one of the good versions of X-Force instead.

    I am pretty dang sure that anyone who is saying that 90s X-Force is the correct choice has not read the Remender run.

    Hey where is my Iron Fist movie

    when they do a Doctor Strange movie (and they will) the Ancient One should live in a mystical temple high in the himalayas

    as the Doc is training, he sees a young man shattering rocks with his bare hands. Amazed, he mentions this to the Ancient One

    "place him from your mind, young Stephen, for his path is a different one, though you will meet him many times again, I am sure..."

    I'd lose my fucking shit

    Shouldn't the elf guy have half his face burned/frozen or something?

    I like that he's actually an elf, with pointy ears and everything

    sounds cool

    It sounds like they're mashing up a bunch of different versions of X-Force and it does not fill me with hope.

    They have definitely toned down the Asgaridians' costumes a bit from the comics - but not by much! I love that they're just like, "you know what? The Asgardians are crazy and they look crazy so who even cares if it seems a bit weird?" So perfect.

  • TurambarTurambar Independent Registered User regular
    Loki is still crazy

    Wonder if that was a costuming issue.
    According to the behind the scenes stuff, they liked wearing it (because they felt awesome wearing armor, particularly Sif and Loki), but it was a real pain to get into and out of.

    IIRC Loki's headdress was like 4 pieces and Sif's armor didn't allow for much torso movement (but she felt heroic while wearing it because she was forced to stand tall and upright).

    Mostly, I think they just decided not to be so ashamed of the fact that it's a movie interpretation of a comic book interpretation of the Norse pantheon. Which is cool.

    I don't know a whole lot about Dr. Strange or Iron Fist, but I always thought that their origins were sort of tied together in that they went to the same monastery at different times or something along those lines

    Let Fenrir loose, punch the Midgard serpent, never trust an elf, and always buy dwarf smithings.

    Not really. Strange learned under the Ancient One in Tibet, while Iron Fist grew up in a city called K'un L'un, which is hidden in the Himalayas. Somewhat close to each other geographically, but not connected at all that I'm aware of.

  • SolarSolar Registered User regular
    They could be though

    easily

  • Centipede DamascusCentipede Damascus Registered User regular
    Well sure, you could have the Ancient One live in K'un L'un in a movie or something like that. I'd be fine with that. I'm just saying that they've never been connected in the comics that I know of.

    At this point would the MCU ever actually cop out on something? I guess elves are uncharted territory, but still.

    Clearly K'un L'un is his summer home.

  • JayKaosJayKaos Registered User regular
    I could definitely see them sneaking in K'un L'un as part of a long monologue about places the Ancient One has gone / studied magic in.
