That's it. A cover story. No trailer.



edit:

I guess this chick has some legit connections. She knew it wasn't the trailer.

That image looks like they photoshopped her head on and the suit looks like they combined Spidey and Ironman lol.

 

[Pilky01]

There are stills from the actual movie in the article. It looks much better in those.

EW tends to photoshop the living hell out of their cover subjects.

I added the pics to the Captain Marvel thread.

It looks major photoshopped and awful which doesn't make sense. Pretty much took a digital art picture and put her face on top of it.

Yeah, something about that EW cover just looks off......

The other pictures are really good though.

New rumor popping up is Marvel has booked studio time in London that was supposed to be for the Bond 25 film that has been put on hold while it looks for a new director. Seems that the time could possibly be for auditions for a Guy Ritchie directed Captain Britain...time will tell I guess.

So is Captain Britain Captain America of GB? If so, I would see it, especially if Guy Ritchie is the director (love a lot of his movies).

Yes and no. yes in that he protects Britain like Captain America does the US etc. But unlike Steve Rogers, he didn't get his abilities from a super soldier serum but instead via mystical means in the form of an amulet from Merlyn, yes that Merlyn which was later changed to Merlyn moving the powers from the amulet to a costume. Basically this is the Marvel take on the Arthurian tale.

 

[Pilky01]

They made GOTG work but I don't believe they can make Captain Britain work.

Looks like Disney is going to go all out with their new steaming service as they are supposedly looking at a show about Loki and another for the Scarlet Witch and yes Tom Hiddleston and Elizabeth Olsen would be reprising their roles from the films. They are going all in as the shows would not cheap out costing in the area of major studio productions.

Given that these will presumably be shows directly tying in to the state of Marvel’s movie universe—and have the freedom to be set at any point during the MCU timeline, so they could, for example, dance around the events of Avengers: Infinity War—they’re expected to cost a princely sum, with the cost of each series “rivaling those of a major studio productions” according to Variety. On top of that, each six-to-eight-episode-long series will be overseen by Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige, to better mesh the events of the shows and movies together.

finally watched black panther

it was pretty good but i expected it to be better. fight scenes looked pretty bad

still a really good movie but after already seeing civil war and IW i thought this would be incredible

 

[Pilky01]

Yeah the hype for Black Panther greatly exceeded its execution. If movie critics (who are overwhelmingly white) had a more rational response to it then there wouldn't have been nearly as much "controversy" over what was a perfectly serviceable superhero origin story. But white movie critics have to display their SJW bonafides at all times and so anything other than unqualified praise was perceived as white supremacy in action.

ABC developing a female-centric Marvel 1hr-drama. Marvel Series About Female Superheroes From ‘Wonder Woman’s Allan Heinberg Set At ABC With Big Commitment

The writer of the pilot is the Allan Heinberg who wrote the Wonder Woman movie.

With two guys in suits, there is no excuse not to use more practical effects/stunt doubles instead of CGI for fight scenes.

 

[x Tame Impala]

One of my few gripes with Black Panther. The final fight scene was a corny CGI mess. Especially disappointing considering how cool their first fight on the cliff was

Based on his posts in the Captain Marvel thread, he might be off his meds, high or drunk or from the DC Universe.

Possible leaked Black Widow movie plot synopsis:

Possible Synopsis For Black Widow Movie Reveals Some Of The Plot

“At birth, the Black Widow (aka Natasha Romanova) is given to the KGB, which grooms her to become its ultimate operative. When the U.S.S.R. breaks up, the government tries to kill her as the action moves to present-day New York, where she is a freelance operative. The standalone film will find Romanoff living in the United States 15 years after the fall of the Soviet Union.”

Which makes little sense in that the current day Romanov is in her 30s and would have been a child in the late 80s. That is unless it is suddenly revealed that like in the comics she does have certain "powers" given to her by a similar serum as Bucky that includes slowing her aging process.. In the comics she is born in 1928.

Apparently she's born 1984 in the MCU which makes her 34.

Which then does not make sense with this rumored plot...
