This promo poster art for next year's Avengers film is our first real indication of what the heroes involved will look like together. Interesting to note (to me anyway) how out of place the dude from Hurt Locker looks as a maskless Hawkeye the Archer. We have to keep in mind this is the Ultimates version of The Avengers (although that Hawkeye wore special glasses because they strangly had him be near sighted in that version).
Time will tell, but right now it seems unreal that I am actually going to get such a huge Marvel team-up in a live action film in my lifetime, and that it might actually not suck (it could be stupid, but it will be fun for sure). Now, where the hell is my Justice League film, true believers?
What's your take on the DC Universe reboot?
ReplyDeleteAlso, is Iron Man going to be played by Robert Downey Jr.?
I so badly want this to not be awful. Please.
ReplyDeletePlease wait for your Justice League Motion Picture to initialize...DC is Rebooting...Please Stand By...
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping this film is as awesome as I imagined it would be when I was a kid. I'm not the biggest Marvel fan and I would prefer a JLA movie, but so far Marvel has a pretty good track record so far. I just hope they don't drop the ball here. I also wish they had added a couple more characters and gotten rid of Black Widow.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather have seen:
Hulk
Capt. America
Iron Man
Thor
Hawkeye
Giantman or Antman
Scarlet Witch
Ms. Marvel or She-hulk
As for the DCU reboot. I think if we all get over the "everything is different, therefor I hate it" mentality that so many fans have it could be good. If we just accept that this is a slightly different DCU and look at it as a fresh start it may do well. I just have a feeling that, outside of Batman, people will whine and cry until DC takes everything back to the way it was.
Chris: I think at this point Downey is supposed to be IM and heavily involved as Stark. But I understand as Stark he is going to get a ton of screen time compared to the other characters. They have to find a balance between the reality world of Iron Man, and the fantasy worlds of Hulk and Thor. That balance is going to be key to a great movie like Iron Man 1, or a horrible one like Spider Man 3.
ReplyDeleteThe DC universe is fragmented filmwise. Nolan wants Batman in a universe with no superheroes, and that is how that movie plays. Green Lantern is pure fantasy. So do these two movie universes exist in the same reality. Even DC comics doesn't know.
ReplyDeleteKelv: Until Burtons' first Batman, we comic book fans since childhood knew that TV shows and movies generally were meant to break the hearts of fans (with the exception of the first Superman of course). Nowadays we get served some awesome, and then next get served total failure. It's so hit and miss. Why can't they all be good?
ReplyDeleteBark: Ha ha, no doubt...
GeekG: Marvel characters are high pop fantasy and very comic bookey right out of the gate. DC guys like big guns Supes, Wonder Woman, Flash and Batman are at their best when shown as analogies of Greek gods with dark sides. If they did the type of take with them that that guy who created Astro City (Ross?), serious and dramatic, a Justice League film with these characters could blow us away.
