Which is neat because I've mostly hated the MCU since Infinity War
- Blade
- Adam
- Howard the Duck
- Young Avengers
- something with Wanda & Vision
- ROM:Spaceknight
- Deadpool
I would think the current Flash doesn't fit the Agent Venom thing. He doesn't seem all military rah rah!
But I hope the actor comes back many more times, I've liked that take on Flash.
Well, that makes sense, since Black Widow takes place before Infinity War.
Gimme them evil koalas
Hell even the damn thumbnail looks spoilery
I got really confused thinking Shang Chi might already be out
Edit: here's a decent one actually, should have correct dates
I'm really not sure Marvel knows what they are doing with this movie. It looks good and I will be there day 1, but I can't imagine it's generating too much buzz based on the marketing and trailers.
The same Hasbro that has an exclusive marketing agreement with Marvel and Disney for the next decade?
More like the same Hasbro whose toy division is facing heavier and heavier challenges in the modern economy and are desperately trying to pivot to media, and are trying to launch their own "hasbro-verse" of movies, including ROM.

In Civil War when Vision and Tony are talking about how he somehow acciedently hit Rhodey.. was that the only direct conversation Stark and Vision have in the entire franchise? Vision makes a snide comment about Ultron hating Tony in AoU, and the larger Sokovia Accords discussion in Civil War, but as far as the two characters having a back and forth, I think that's it?
And that's kind of wild given Tony helped created Vision. Really could have used a Vision Disney+ show filling us in on his early days.
At least they don't have a history together. Imagine if Frodo was Legolas' adopted son or something.
Oh, you didn't hear about the added scenes for the extra mega extended editions of The Hobbit?
Everything is rubbery looking. The pseudo rolled up sleeves. The typical MCU techy fabric. Blegh.
Get some new designer for your outfits already, marvel.
(Seriously, this is great)

Her contract tied some of her salary to the profits of the theatrical release, so I can see why she’s upset. Hopefully they’ll cut her a check and smooth things out.
She says it did have such a clause. The latter part they don't give a fuck since that was her last role in the MCU.
Though the latest Space Jam, which also had a simultaneous release, did exactly the same thing. So the theaters might have a point.
Theaters have a point, because they’re in big trouble. We paid the $30 for premier access and since I have a comfy couch, a high def TV, and a popcorn maker there’s not much a theater can offer me that can compete. Plus my family of 4 actually saved close to $50 by not going to the theater.
I mean, I'd hope that the mouse would just throw some cash at her with a fair estimate of how it would have done in theaters based on a bunch of internal numbers we don't get, carry the two, fuck it round up a bit more just to keep things going.
A cursory Google search indicates that Disney is worth over 200 billion in assets, throw an extra million or two at her and call it a day. Or 10. Whatever. The point is it's still likely well within their petty cash range.
I don't think this is what's going to happen though. I've never heard of an actor's contract dictating terms of distribution of a film. It is very common for Hollywood accounting to show that a movie has lost money on paper just so they don't have to pay residuals to their actors. Star Wars is a great example of this. None of the actors received any residuals because on paper the movies lost money. I feel like ScarJo has an uphill battle ahead of her. Something like this has never happened in the history of cinema and this is a wholly novel legal scenario. I doubt her contract even considered the idea that the film would languish in purgatory for over a year only to be farted out onto streaming.
Frankly I just don't believe this claim. That is just not something covered in a standard actor's agreement. It usually covers things like the length of time a movie is shown in theaters but not theater exclusivity or the schedule of home release.
I think she's in for an uphill battle. I fully support her team filing this lawsuit, though. A lot of actors got fucked over COVID because the theater timer expired and the movie could just be dumped on home video. This will end up being a precedential lawsuit. I look forward to the inevitable review Lenard French will do, going over the entire filing.
