Things that the DC Movie Universe seems to avoid.
I think Strange is going like TV Flash with exploring multiverses, if the Inception-esque scene of New York splitting and folding into itself is any clue. That'd be a neat way to sneak in Fox and Sony specific characters into the greater MCU.
Michael Keaton in talks for a villain role in
Spider-Man: Homecoming. Also rumored Vulture will be in the movie, though possibly not the main villain. One of Michael Keaton's recent roles was as an actor whose most famous role was that of "Birdman." Kind of some next level Six Degrees going on here. In more degrees, Robert Downey Jr alludes to possibly maybe appearing in the movie, which would be fun to watch Tony Stark hit on Aunt Marisa To-May. Apparently that happens in
Civil War, if the Cinemacon Sony event is any indication. I've been trying to avoid details, since the movie is out real soon and I'm getting more excited.
Channing Tatum is going to be in the next
Kingsman movie, because apparently Gambit is going nowhere slow. There's also a "Men In Black" and "21 Jump Street" crossover tentatively titled "
MIB 23" in the works, because why the he
ll not. Also an animated Spider-Man, which I imagine is going to try to kickstart an animated universe similar to DC's. Chris Pratt stars in "
Passangers," about a starship being sent to colonize another world which should take 120-years, but some people wake up in just 30. Pratt is the mechanic in charge of fixing things (
So I guess it's a comedy?) and Jennifer Lawrence is there to complain about everything I guess. Pratt will also star in a "Magnificent Seven" remake, officially becoming pretty much every 6 year old's dream. Astronauts, cowboys, dinosaurs, superheroes, space pirates. I think we can count Burt Macklin as a cop/fireman role. Well,
I count it.
More from CinemaCon, Deadpool 2 is moving forward with director Tim Miller and star Ryan Reynolds,with Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who wrote Deadpool, writing the script.
Captain America: Civil War review embargo is over, and so far they're all positive. 84% on Metacritic, 100% on Rotten Tomatoes though this is with only 15 reviews. I imagine mid to upper 80s,
maybe 90s if the initial reviews are accurate.
Not a bad week so far.
