i'm more excited for this than i was for avengers 2. and that's in my top 3 marvel movies easily

 

[curb]

Did they recast Scarlet Witch's accent?

You want them to "Storm" her?

 

[ryseing]

So you can take this with a grain of salt since I'm just some guy on the internet but I've heard from my buddy who told me about Hawkeye's situation in Age of Ultron months prior to the movie coming out that two people have been cast as of this morning to big roles for upcoming Marvel stuff:

Spoiler

Emily Blunt has signed on as Captain Marvel.
Natalie Dormer (Game of Thrones/Hunger Games) has signed on as Enchantress in Thor 3

If this is false, especially the latter...

 

[Chezzymann]

I hope we get hawkeye firing ant man on his arrow at some point in the future

 

[-griffy-]

But Natalie Dormer is already in the MCU!

 

[Spinluck]

I want cap 3. Not avengers 2.5. I want cap, falcon going after Bucky. Fighting red skull or Zemo. Give me a focused brubaker influenced story that continues from the winter soldier.

Instead they'll wedge these plot threads, short change them and go into hero FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT mode.

What we're getting in the OP sounds 1000x better tbh.

 

[Blader]

Well maybe not liking playing the part but his contract with Marvel is expiring soon and he has stated interest in shifting to behind the camera rather than in front.

Also he said this over a year ago: ‘Captain America’s’ Chris Evans Says He’s Ready to Leave Acting Behind

He's already started directing, and he's kind of backpedaled on his retirement comments a bit anyway. His frustration with acting sounds more like not being in control of things or what the film will look like more than anything else. Not that he's really calling the shots here either but he does get a degree of input on things.

 

[ChosenPredator]

which heroes have not been announced that are likely to show up ?

 

[Jest Chillin]

I said he wanted to make a film shorter than the first, and there is a quote of him saying he wanted it to be shorter than the first. I don't know how that disproves it.

There is no "Evil Marvel makes Joss cut an hour of film" here. It's absurd to think that because a rough cut was 3:15, that Whedon ever was going to have that as the final runtime.

You're saying that Whedon wanted a short film. His first cut being 3 hours and 15 minutes suggests that he had difficulty cutting stuff when it came down to it. That means that whatever he said before he stepped into that editing bay, when it came time to actually edit, he felt there were a lot more things in the movie that should be there.

Then there's the interviews where he states specifically that Marvel was pressuring him to cut more than he wanted to cut. That he had to fight for several scenes, so much so that he eventually felt "beat down."

Your assessment is based on ideals he had before he made the movie and my assessment is based on what he said actually happened during the process of editing.

Edit: And who is saying that Marvel is evil for making him edit it down? It's a business decision. The reality is, if Marvel wants The Russos to edit down the movie, they're going to be forced to edit down the movie. Taking the stance of, "Marvel won't do that to The Russos because they're not Whedon" is silly as hell and it completely ignores the fact that Marvel has veto'd multiple directors and writers over the course of making all these films. They will do what they want regardless of who they've tapped to make the thing.

 

[Fuu]

Its a cumulative thing, many people already weren't trusting the Avengers immediately after NY but they still saved the damn world, same with Ultron. At some point though, the world governments' will run out of patience and take a stand.

Yep, it will all add up. Plus, a new incident that serves as the boiling point guarantees an awesome and dramatic opening for CW.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Nick Fury
Spider-Man

Thor and Hulk are definitely not in it

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

William Hurt. Nice.

 

[enanogrande]

Why do people keep saying this? It's a myth.

Dude absolutely adores the role. He just wants to direct in addition to being an actor.

Yeah, AFAIK he's actually mentioned that he'd be fine with only playing Cap for the rest of his career and spend the rest of his time directing.

I don't think this means he wants to be in a Captain America movie every year though, but he doesn't seem to hate the role by any stretch. Actually reminds me a bit of Cumberbatch and his comments regarding Sherlock Holmes, he's also said he'd love to spend the rest of his career playing the character on the BBC series (and seeing as that series only comes out every couple of years, I see no reason why he won't)

 

[Pai Pai Master]

But Natalie Dormer is already in the MCU!

But she tried to seduce Steve in her scene...

Spoiler

she was undercover as Enchantress the whole time!

Your "I want to make it smaller, more personal" quote is also an ideal taken from before he started making the movie.

And his first cut being over 3 hours just means he shot a lot of material. Those first cuts are always long and often get chopped down by a lot.

Also he said this over a year ago: ‘Captain America’s’ Chris Evans Says He’s Ready to Leave Acting Behind

Well he said this just 3 weeks ago:

On Marvel, Cap, acting..

I think it’s almost like high school. You’re kind of always looking ahead, about when you’ll graduate, but then when graduation day arrives you kind of don’t want to leave. I AM gonna try and focus on directing a bit more, but by no means am I done acting. And if they’d have me back, yeah, I’d probably consider it.

I never put much stock into things like this. It's hard to tell how much is posturing, and how much is genuine. Things are always fluid.

This makes it seem like the current plan is comic civil war ending.

As it should be. The MCU has all the characters to do that event, and the following events, justice.

Dormer was already in Captain America 1

https://youtu.be/_11Fx44iCJg

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Dormer was already in Captain America 1

Its such a minor role that I highly doubt it would prevent her from ever acting in the MCU again.

 

[NastyBook]

Move over Whedon.

Time for the Russos to show how it's done.

I hope BP's fighting style is brutal and animalistic.

I'm just hoping for a spar between him and Cap, or a triple threat with him, Cap, and WS.

Either way, the fights in this film are gonna shit all over the competition once again.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Dormer was already in Captain America 1

https://youtu.be/_11Fx44iCJg

Star Lord's mom was already in Cap 1 as well. For minor roles they don't care

 

[Entryhazard]

IIRC there's an actor that played two characters in the MCU but I can't remember who was

EDIT: thank the post above

 

[ZeroCDR]

This makes it seem like the current plan is comic civil war ending.

AoU Spoilers

Spoiler

If this is the case, they still have to fire Chekov's gun with Steve using Mjolnir, so at the very least he'll come back for Avengers IW Part 2 somehow. He should still have one movie left in his contract after Civil War.

 

[Alienous]

Dormer was already in Captain America 1

https://youtu.be/_11Fx44iCJg

I don't see a problem, do you see a problem?

If you had the power of illusion tell me you wouldn't travel to Earth and makeout with hunky men.

Enver Gjokaj was also in Avengers and Agent Carter.

 

[CryptiK]

So it looks like it may not be Ironman vs Capt' Merica.

 

[Ronin Ray]

Yeah but unlike the first movie they created the threat (ultron) and Hulk straight up demolished a city in Africa. I would say patience should have ran out by now

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Ant-Man is in Cap 3 too?

Awesome.

I wonder if Daredevil will make an appearance too.

 

[Fuu]

Actually a lot of actors play different minor roles in the MCU (list includes VA work):

[Wreck-It Ralph]

After being mildly disappointed by Age of Ultron, this movie is sounding really good.

I'm glad Paul Rudd is going to be back. I was afraid his movie might be a sort of one-off, separate from the rest of the MCU.

 

[Jest Chillin]

Your "I want to make it smaller, more personal" quote is also an ideal taken from before he started making the movie.

Yes. And the film didn't end up smaller but he did end up getting the more personal aspects in there where he could.

And yes, first cuts do tend to get cut down by a lot. But he has literally talked in interviews about Marvel putting the pressure on cutting certain stuff while other stuff they cut because it didn't work.

 

[Dai101]

Oh, didn't expect Ant-Man to be in this.
Nice.

You didn't see that coming?

Spoiler

Me neither

So it looks like it may not be Ironman vs Capt' Merica.

Everyone that follows this to be identical to CW the comic is going to be dissapointed.

P.S: Civil war sucks-

 

[jtb]

I'm surprised notoriously cheap Marvel keeps shelling out huge salaries for RDJ.

Spoiler

My expectation is that Tony dies in Civil War. Makes too much sense. Give the viewer the reverse, so it's not completley telegraphed from the comics, and I'm sure Kevin Feige is drooling at the prospect of taking the only highly paid star in the MCU off the books.

RDJ was signed on for Infinity War already. Civil War was just a bonus sign on for him that came after the Age of Ultron and Infinity War contract.

 

[Toa TAK]

So the only Avengers not involved are Hulk and Thor. Dayum.

But I want a scene of Tony meeting the dwarf that crafted Mjolnir and making a magic Iron Man suit for Infinity War.

RDJ is a major fucking draw. Iron Man is the top selling Avenger and gets the most toys and shit made. What they pay him seems large since Marvel has a reputation for being cheap, but Downey makes them rich.

This would be like firing Stone Cold or The Rock right before WrestleMania (Avengers: Infinity War) back in the day.

People love RDJ.

The films would lose a lot of appeal if he died. Hell, even I'd be less inclined to watch them.

 

[Callibretto]

so the incident involving Avengers. probably Scarlet Witch right? she's the least experienced member of the team, and probably the most likely to messed up with her power.

 

[Creamium]

This movie is packed, cast-wise. I really hope they'll manage to maintain focus, because it looks like they're jamming half of the MCU into this
