    That does sound interesting. I believe his 1st appearance is ST 110 & is DS’s 1st villain. I could imagine it having a nightmare on elm street homage/vibe. DS is definitely the place to start for a trippy MCU horror flick. That’s why I think he said “should we announce phase 5” & dropped those little bombs about future projects that we can expect after phase 4, without offering anything too concrete. Considering they have so much more to work with, the fact that it’s taking 5 years for DS2 & then 4 years between these last Thor films (Thor 2 2013, 3 2017, 4 2021), we may see some trilogies spaces out over longer periods. I don’t want to see all of the original characters replaced either but after seeing Ragnarok I can imagine Waititi turning Thor 4 into an MCU What If? comedy/romance type movie. He was still worthy of Mjolnir after giving up on everything in Endgame, so I’m curious to know if he’s no longer worthy or if it’s just that Jane Foster is worthy. I personally think the Disney+ streaming series are a great idea since it will help expand the stories of many characters that get little character development in the films. I can see them continuing this with 2 new series per year for some time considering all of the characters at their disposal. If they turn out to be Netflix/Daredevil quality, everyone will love them.

    I think phase 4 is 2 years rather than 3 without Avengers because phase 3 was 4 years & gave us 2 Avengers films back to back. The MCU formula will remain the same & we see the next Avengers in phase 5 April/May 2024. Instead of giving us 3 films per year like they did in phase 3, we’re getting 2 & 2 Disney+ streaming shows (each series will be the equivalent of at least 2 movies, with 6 episodes at 40-50 min run time.), which I’m fine with. Just hope they turn out to be MCU quality. Not sure how turning DS2 into the MCU’s 1st horror movie will turn out but I’m curious to see how they pull this one off. With a few exceptions, horror flicks generally don’t do as well at the box office & very few bring in MCU money. They will probably manage to blow everyone away again though. I don’t know if it will be permanent or something temporary within Thor Love & Thunder, but I believe Jane Foster picking up Mjolnir will be a secondary plot point late in the film. Since they’re planning on introducing Beta Ray Bill & Chris Hemsworth is still playing Thor as well, we will likely see multiple versions of the character within the MCU at the same time. Can’t wait to see what they have planned for phase 5. They will likely announce Spider-Man 3 in 2021 at D23 next month since Far from Home will pass 1 billion shortly. I think allowing Sony to use the term mutants within their Spider-verse franchise could hopefully be another selling point to keep the Sony/Marvel deal going & keep Spider-Man within the MCU.

    It’s about 43.5M away from Avatar today & I believe it should make another 13.5M - 15M worldwide without the rerelease. It’s always possible if they bring it back to a lot more theaters worldwide but Feige didn’t give many details aside from there being bonus footage. I would think maybe it brings in an extra 20M during the rerelease, but we will have a better idea by next Sunday. It might be out for 1 - 2 weeks or possibly just one weekend. I would think all theaters will replace the current release with the rerelease, so you just need to see if it’s playing at your local theater next weekend (June 28th). There’s no way there will be anything related to Fantastic Four or any recently acquired Fox properties though, that’s just a pipe dream.

    Apparently it’s going to be a limited rerelease with a deleted scene, tribute & a few surprises after the credits. Probably not enough to pull in the extra 30M Endgame will need to match Avatar though. It would help if they add 1000 theatres & show it over the summer break but it sounds like this release won’t be out for long. Maybe it could bring in an extra 10M domestically & another 10M internationally unless they show it in China for 1 more weekend, which is unlikely.

    An R rating might be tough on the Box office results. They don’t have the best track record & it seems like Joker will more of a psychological thriller than your average DC movie also. Good thing it’s low budget in comparison, cause it could end it’s run somewhere around Shazam. Hope I’m wrong & it blows everyone away, but I’m not that hyped up from the trailer.

    Fox should have done this after the initial X-Men trilogy, rather than a Wolverine trilogy or prequels. They could have had Mister Sinister as their version of Thanos over the past 10 years, setting aside the team & building more character development on individuals. Bringing out 1 film per year with lower production budgets, leading up to a 2 part X-Men film where all of the characters are together again. It could have been Fox's version of Infinity War/Endgame. I think they saturated they market, as 9 of their 12 X-Men films were basically team movies excluding The Wolverine, Deadpool & Logan imo. This is how I would expect Feige to introduce X-Men into the MCU. They have so many more properties to deal with at this point that they might not make trilogies for every character moving forward. Next years Black Widow film could be the first example.

    They were obviously skrulls. When I read that Jessica Chastain played Vuk of the D'bari, I knew that was obviously a BS last minute change. They didn't want to do a major overhaul to the entire story, so they just changed her name & race instead. Everyone knew the MCU planned to use the skrulls in Captain Marvel & Fox wanted to beat them to the punch, which they would have had it come out last November.

    I think 4 weeks would be more practical since they put Avatar out for an extra 12 weeks (can't believe it was out for 46 weeks total). Maybe premier the Black Widow trailer after the credits as an added incentive.

    I had the exact same thought. A double feature during the Christmas Holidays for those who prefer to wait a few weeks for the Star Wars crowd to die down before seeing Rise of Skywalker.

    I can't imagine studios spending as much on advertising as they do on production for these big budget films. I remember reading Endgame spent more than any previous MCU film @ 225M. I would think around 50% is more realistic, otherwise the majority of all these movies are not profitable theatrically.

    Dark Phoenix honestly felt the a mix of those 2 films even with the reshoots.

    Not sure if he went for 4 back to back viewing today but that guy is on 106 in his latest tweet & Endgame is an estimated 57.5M behind Avatar now. Should still be about 30M short unless they reissue it around Christmas like they did Avatar in 2010 with a special edition, bringing in an extra 33.2M.

    I would love them to get back together. The X-Men & Spider-Man animated series were my favorite growing up. This would better than most of the movies & probably the best thing Disney could do since it will be a while before they're introduced into the MCU.

    Wasn’t the best film but I’ve seen worse. Less than a dozen people in the theater. My bro slept through half the film, but that’s pretty normal. Looks like it will be the lowest opening for X-Men with only 5M in Thursday night previews. There was a nice mcu Easter 🐣
  16. chezmtghut
    That’s a good question.
  17. chezmtghut
    They do have X-Force but they're part of the Deadpool universe which is going to continue for the time being. Changing the name wouldn't be the the same but The Mutants is probably the best choice. I hope this isn't going to turn into a gender war over Men being in the title.

    The trailer portrays Mysterio as a friend & Holland confirms that, which is not a spoiler imo. Not sure why theories would even factor into the mix. Also, just because Holland says that Mysterio is his new best friend, doesn't mean the story ends on that same note. I would think the Vulture, Scorpion & Mysterio will eventually become part of the Sinister Six.

    Wasn't much of a spoiler. Basically just described in more details what we see in the latest trailer. He really didn't say anything new in that clip.

    What could be considered more innovative or have more of a moral theme about improving the human condition than a series of 22 films culminating into one massive storyline about humans, super humans, aliens & gods coming together & risking their lives to save humanity from tyranny & evil?

    I wonder if they will call Avatar 2 - 5 a cash grab & keep it out of future Oscar nominations also. https://www.google.ca/amp/s/amp.cinemablend.com/news/2474355/academy-member-says-theres-no-way-hed-ever-vote-for-an-avengers-movie-to-get-an-oscar

    Anything less than 2x is clearly a failed attempt?
  23. chezmtghut
    Ya, it's closer to AoU than IW #'s at this point.

    More like 8+ million people to see it since BOM counts the average ticket at $9.

    I would definitely want to use proxies. My type 1 deck use to be worth somewhere in the 5k range around 15 - 20 years ago. I would imagine the same cards being in 100k range today. Just dual lands alone are insanely expensive. Revised were like $10 - $25 depending on the card & grade back then.
