DC & Marvel - Official Discussion Thread

So what's everybody's reaction to the latest MCU news?

RDJ being back. Good? Bad? Disappointed? Optimistic?

Desperation move

They know they are bleeding and needed a stability so they hired RDJ, but i don't think Marvel needs stability, it needs risk and smth new

It still baffles me to this day that Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes was cancelled for the far more mediocre Avengers: Assemble.

Well their hand was forced cause of the Jonathan Majors controversy lol.

So yes. They are desperate for a clean slate and some stability.

But i'm iffy about RDJ coming back, as is a pretty large portion of the fanbase i'm sure.

He had THE best send off. If the new movie sucks, that will be his final legacy in mcu instead of Endgame which nicely capped off his role as Iron man.

A desperate move from Marvel

Kang written like during Loki seasons would have been the best mcu villain ever next to Thankd

biggest problem here will be

Do we get Dr. Doom or do we get RDJ Ironman as Dr. Doom

Dr. Doom is one of fan favs and if they fuck up Doom it is yikes

 

[Ice devil slayer]

Utter trash lol

Fucking hate marvel man

I am quite excited actually. This could work quite well, He stated it off and now he's back as the big bad before the reset.

Lmfao Marvel must be shitting itself after the Jonathan Major scandal. Not sure why they didn’t just recast Kang? People hate the multiverse but evil Tony stark is just gonna be another multiverse villain, no point in not recasting Kang and making the last phase somewhat matter

The Downey Jr news is a headscatcher. Is it really that hard to re cast Kang and give him a movie where feels like an actual threat?

Anyways the leaked F4 trailer is amazing. Finally marvel is giving a setting different that space/modern day earth

It's odd they're throwing out a plot they spent like, 2 movies and 2 TV shows building.

What's odder to me though is the choice to cast RDJ as Doom...? Like.... Why?

I truly don’t know. Marvel refused to recast Chadwick Boseman and now Majors, but were totally fine doing it with Terrence Howard and William Hurt. Kang wasn’t doing well with general audiences? Well no shit you had him lose to fucking Ant man in a shit movie. You could’ve remedied that by having Kang actually do something of note. He was pretty well received as a character afterall

The RDJ news is just desperation imo. Everybody loves him and he’s a great actor. I really, really hope he’s not some stark variant and RDJ doesn’t play him as that

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

Terrence Howard and William Hurt.

Tbf, Terrence Howard was at the onset of their franchise. They probably didn't put as much thought into it. Wiliam Hurt is a good point though.

I totally get Chadwick Boseman, I don't think anyone would've given a good performance in T'challa after him. (too bad the sequel sucked anyways)

The RDJ news is just desperation imo. Everybody loves him and he’s a great actor. I really, really hope he’s not some stark variant and RDJ doesn’t play him as that

From what I heard from fans and "leakers" on reddit this morning, that's the prevailing theory. An alt Tony who never became Ironman but turned into a villain instead. Which will be as entertaining as Evil Doc Strange in MoM. (0% entertaining).

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

Harrison Ford is going to give us a "good enough" job as General Ross in the next Captain America. This man hasn't cared about acting in decades

Out of all characters, Doom is probably one of the few you can pull this off with. Give him an accent, and use makeup to give him a scarred face. It's that easy.

If they decide to go the alt Stark route might as well throw the franchise down the drain.

Reading this just reminded me of RDJ doing black face in Tropic Thunder. Yeah, give him some makeup and an accent, he'll be alright

Should have recast Kang with Kirk Lazurus

I just fail to see how recycling an actor and possibly a role can help them whatsoever.

 

[Bullet]

I saw the news and couldn't care less lol
Marvel is finished. I expect only 1 or 2 good movies out of 10 going forward.
I'll say the only interesting thing to me is Spiderman 4 and maybe an X-man movie when they get to it.
Good for RDJ tho, he's becoming the richest actor ever from Disney paychecks.
