They're going to take the name and design of Captain Marvel and apply it to a complete new origin, played by Brie freaking Larson.
And then once it's a hit, which it will be, Marvel will likely change the comic version of Carol to fit.
you don't even know Captain Marvel - she will have almost nothing in common with the awful person in Civil War II
It's amusing watching everyone be like "It's good?!?!?" after we just had about a week of critics, comics creators, and regular folk (including some on this very website) all saying "It's good, y'all."
Was everyone expecting people to just suddenly decide it's shit when it came time to write their reviews?

When Captain Marvel bombs I will be free from this burden.

To be fair, I can understand the apprehension there. When BvS was coming out, we had the latter two of those three groups saying the same things.
I don't see it. Is she popular overseas?
Its not even starting in China and Wonder Woman is not that much known outside of UK and the US (Yes, some people here dont agree, I dont care), so I would say 1 billion is way out of reach. Maybe 700 million.

They didn't wanna believe Greg Rucka.

I just assumed this would suck - guess I was wrong. Will see this next week.
Gadot seemed a little awkward as WW in BvS but it seems that she nailed the performance this time.

$700 is my new estimate based on these reviews. My prediction has been going a bit low but when word spreads, I think that will lead to it overperforming.
Yeah, if that's the case no way it has a chance.

I've had faith in Gal Gadot ever since I saw her in BvS
I think I am going to stick with 600-700 million and hope for 700+.
I have no idea how people will react to female lead superhero movies, even when the quality is good.
I'm blaming that entirely on the direction given in BvS.
The Star Wars prequels showed that even amazing, Oscar-winning actors, when given crummy dialogue and direction, can't do much with it. WW in BvS really doesn't have much to do other than be a very forced cameo and blunt tease for the rest of the Justice League. She pops up, gets a few action scenes, but isn't integral to the narrative. She never had a chance to do anything more meaningful in that film.

Yep. And Captain Marvel will perform in accordance to the rest of the MCU unless it's an unmitigated disaster.
I expect both to end up somewhere between 500 and 700 million worlwide, and that's good news for everyone.
Fuck this shit, there's no 2, it's Thor World: The Dark Thor World of Thor.
Also Rises came after The Dark Knight.

It's co promoted by Wanda you goons
oh, you are right, haven seen it earlier when I was on IMDB. Dunno. Still gonna stick with 700+ Like I said, no idea how the reaction will be.
Jup even had the first premiere.

I'm calling it: $1B.
It's going to make $700m, while Captain Marvel makes just about the same amount, and you cry yourself to sleep as Carol Danvers becomes a household name.

LMFAO.
I saw the press preview yesterday and 96% on Rt is absurd.
The movie is just average, with a kitsch and stupid ending, a weak villain and very bad special effects.
I think the positive reviews, as happened with Ghostbusters last year, are more dependent on "gender" (female movie star + female director) than by its actual quality.

She LITERALLY has a household name, being captain MARVEL and all

Guess we can't really have a Wonder Woman thread without the whole, 'Totally unknown character outside US' nonsense lol. It's the circle of life, I suppose.

Oh, first one to bring PC is the reason this movie is rated well. Maybe your opinion is in the minority, ever thought of that?
Its the truth. Where do you live again?
ohhh we got ourselves a live one boys
Ye of little faith, still doubting that brand power.
You this guy people? Don't be this guy.
Easy there cowboy. WW has a 7.9, TDK has a kingly 8.6 with 200 more reviews.
The bat is still king.

Y'know, considering that you're the only one to bring up her gender as a mark for or against the quality, I think that your review might be influenced by it more than theirs.
Just Stop...
No, cause most of the Italian moviesites reviews claim that the movie is enjoyable but absolutely not a masterpiece. RT does not aggregate my country reviews but only Americans or in english/spanish language.
96% is better than Dark Knight, LOL.
You'll see.
