I don’t know about you, but it seems like everyone who has been involved in the Marvel Universe will be in Avengers: Doomsday.
However, now we are learning that not every OG Avenger is going to be in the film. Mark Ruffalo told Empire Magazine that Bruce Banner will not be making an appearance.
But it is not the last time we will see his Hulk. He appears in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and he told the mag about the possibility of future appearances, “As long as they keep finding cool things to do with Hulk.”
Personally, I always found him too nebishy to play Banner. Bring back Edward Norton. He is no Bill Bixby, but he was the best of the current lot.
Marvel released another teaser for Avengers: Doomsday, and this one stars the superheroes from Black Panther and Fantastic Four. They join the previously announced Avengers: Thor, Captain America, and The X-Men.
At this rate, how are they going to have any time for any fighting, because they are going to spend the movie introducing all of the characters from the past films and the new stars?
We will be two hours in, and they will only be halfway through showing us all the superheroes and villains.
When I was growing up, we had Summer blockbusters, which were epic movies. But it feels like that has become a thing of the past.
But it looks like that is going to change on July 25th with The Fantastic Four: First Steps. It will hopefully be the first steps to get people back in the movie theaters. Because the younger generation is missing out on a fantastic pastime that brings back so many happy memories.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel Studios’ ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ introduces Marvel’s First Family—Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Joseph Quinn), and Ben Grimm/The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) as they face their most daunting challenge yet.
How epic does that look and sound? It sounds as epic as that theme song.
I have to admit that I am not the target audience for Superhero movies. However, after watching the trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, I actually want to see the film. And it is not because eye candy Pedro Pascal and Joseph Quinn are in it. Although, that does not hurt!
It is nice to see a movie in this genre that is not as dark as Batman’s suit. And yes, I know he is DC, and the Fantastic Four are Marvel.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces Marvel’s First Family — Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pascal), Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Quinn), and Ben Grimm/The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) — as they face their most daunting challenge yet. Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). And if Galactus’ plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren’t bad enough, it suddenly gets very personal.
The first full trailer is out for Deadpool & Wolverine, and I am not sure I want to see it. It doesn’t seem like it is going to be as fun as I thought it was going to be. But then again, it could just be the person who produced the trailer editor who was the one who made bad choices.
Are you excited for the Ryan Reynolds vs Hugh Jackman film, which comes out on July 26th?
