Movies: Captain Marvel

[beowulf]

Figured it was time for her own thread as information is slowly coming out about the movie.

The main plot will be around a fairly big comic book plot that was the Kree/Skrull war and how it almost ended up on Earth.

So set in the 1990s with the Kree/Skrull war and a younger Nick Fury with both eyes will be in it also!

Please make 90s Nick Fury look like this

Unless they CGI him, I don't think they cast Samuel L. Jackson as his younger self. So instead of hoping for this, hope for an actor that at least bears a slight resemblance to him.

Looks like Marvel will start shooting this soon. It's reported that they've chosen to do production back in Cali instead of Atlanta.

They've already CGI'd several guys, so they will if they want to.

But does SLJ really look that much different than he did 25 years ago? I don't think so.

The man has barely aged. It's nothing a little makeup can't fix.

20 million dollar tax credit will do that

Some rumors coming out about the movie, her backstory and appearance of Captain Marvell but take it with a grain of sand.

A wild new report from MCU Exchange claims that, despite comments to the contrary from Marvel Studios, much of Carol Danvers’ original origin story will make it into the new movie.

The site alleges that not only will Carol start out as Ms. Marvel, complete with a version of her original comic book costume, she will also still get her powers from the explosion of a Kree device called the Psyche-Magnetron. Perhaps most perplexing of all, the site also states that Mar-Vell—the Kree warrior who was both the original Captain Marvel and Carol’s love interest—will indeed appear in the film. For now, take all this with a heavy pinch of salt.

So she's been Captain Marvel since the 90's where's she been hiding during all the Avengers flicks!? Where are the Kree hiding!?!?

The Kree have been to Earth many times, they are the ones that created the Inhumans.

So looks like a few familiar faces will be in the movie. Disney confirmed production has started and that Djimon Hounsou, Lee Pace, and Clark Gregg are in the movie, aka Korath, Ronan and Coulson of course.

Marvel movies are losing their flavour with this over saturation of the market.

They will all get seen. It's just too much with Black Lightning, Luke Cage, and the Flash all being on television/Netflix. It reminds me of how Zombies were the "it" thing for a while until it was over saturated.

Ummm Black Lightning and Flash are DC properties.

They are still superheros though.

Yes!

Kree Skrull war should be glorious

Heck if they can make Michael Douglas look 29 years younger then I'm confident Marvel can make Sam Jackson young too.

Ah the infamous rape of Carol Danvers story arc. Though I doubt the will go that far, especially since she gives birth to an alternate version of the person he impregnated her. If I were to wager she may have gone to space or her Kree psychology makes it so she doesn't age as fast. Or she ends up in a coma similar to when Rouge stole her powers.

There was a recent pic of him getting a mold done of his face for the movie actually.

Essentially, there are only four must sees in my book with the Marvel Universe:

1) Iron Man - if Tony has a prominent role, I'm in (see Civil War).
2) The Hulk - if Bruce has a prominent role, I'm in (see Ragnarok).
3) Holland's Spider-Man - if this version of Peter has a prominent role, I'm in (home run by him in both movies so far).
4) The Avengers - I'm just flat out in for the whole shebang (again, see Civil War, which was really Avengers 2.5).

Everything else is ancillary and I pick and choose, so if Captain Marvel gets decent word of mouth I'll give it a try. Didn't care about Captain America prior to Civil War, didn't care about Thor prior to Ragnarok, still don't care about Ant-Man, and didn't care about Black Panther until the insane word of mouth. Same will be the case for Captain Marvel. I'll certainly keep an open mind and go see it if it ends up looking good, as I did with Dr. Strange, but like that I'm not going to really amp myself up over it.

They are still superheros though.

Zombies were everywhere and it was mostly low budget crap. Anything with a budget is still popular as well as stuff away from the norm (Santa Clarita Diet, iZombie, Z Nation, etc).

All the superhero stuff has good budgets and are based off characters with years and years of media power. And there's different genres among them. They aren't slowing down anytime soon. They're popular among older folks who grew up with the comics, they are popular with kids, and they're even popular among casual parents because a lot of them would rather watch superheroes than another mediocre animated film.
