Shame I already got all the Phase One Blu Rays already...

 

[Anth0ny]

Looks great. Been pre-ordered since June.

I wish it didn't take so long to get that thing out >_>

 

[agrajag]

when is the Marvel collection coming out? Did it get pushed back to 2013?

Spring 2013 I think.

Spring 2013 I think.

That sucks. I was hoping to get it for my sister for Christmas, and now I have to think of a new present. Grrrr

Some fantastic candidates Marvel is looking at for Peter Quill. Anyone would be great, but I'd love to see Lee Pace. Others include Jim Sturgess, Joel Edgerton, and Jack Huston.

Inject some youth into the roster and pick up Hedlund, IMO. I'm not saying the Avengers are all old, but half of them are getting close to it.

And my opinion may or may not be affected by the fact that he's from Minnesota. But I did really enjoy him in Tron.

Can't really see many of those guys listed carrying a movie as a lead, but I don't know much about Guardians so I don't really know how much a "lead" would be featured in the film.

Edgerton FTW. Or Lee Pace.

Also, am I a complete idiot thinking this was going to be a mo-cap/animated film? Don't know where I picked that up from, never read any of the comics.

 

[Mafro]

I'd love Joel Edgerton as Quill.

One thing that worries me about the upcoming Guardians film is that it sounds like they may be basing a lot of it on Bendis' imminent series, rather than the Marvel Cosmic run.

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

Huston! But Boardwalk :C

 

[KevinCow]

I just hope they get Jason Statham to voice Rocket Raccoon. Nothing else matters.

Actually, get Morgan Freeman to voice Groot. That also matters, because it would be great.

 

[The Outsider]

Edgerton or Pace sound great to me.

What would you do with that?

I always envisioned Groot as a bit more brusque sounding than Morgan Freeman. I cant think of whom would fit, but Freeman definitely is not how I hear him in my mind.

I don't necessarily imagine him sounding like Morgan Freeman. I just think it would be hilarious for a giant tree monster to have his soothe, calming voice. I also like to imagine Morgan Freeman sitting in a recording booth, saying nothing but various intonations of "I AM GROOT" all day.

Michael Clark Duncan would've made a fantastic Groot

Go for second best and have William Rhys Davies do it again.

 

[Backwards Marathon]

I really hope GotG is a success (everything looking good so far). The level of nerd that will have reached the mainstream will be at an all time high

 

[DieH@rd]

Lee Pace as leading character in GotG? Sold.

 

[Uncle]

I always imagined him sounding more or less like Iron Giant.

Just got an email from Amazon saying that the Phase One set is now due April 2nd.

So I was perusing through Roger Wardell's twitter and I love to sound like a broken record so does anyone have a link to how many of these rumors he's gotten right?

Off the top of my head, he broke news about Falcon and Crossbones being in Cap 2 before it was ever announced.

that Fin Fang Foom

 

[J10]

If it's just gonna be another one of these

it doesn't count.

 

[lethial]

And what is that? ^

 

[J10]

Easter Egg from Iron Man 1.

You can see it on the left there - that's the Mark II test flight scene. It's supposed to be Foom. Drawn by Adi Granov.

First THOR: THE DARK WORLD Footage Details Emerge

“In the preview, a voice-over is heard with the oath of the God of Thunder as the new supreme ruler. We see a clash between Thor and the enemy army, in a world that is neither Asgard let alone the Earth. We see Chris Hemsworth wielding his hammer and Tom Hiddleston as Loki first wounded without a helmet, with long, loose hair and then imprisoned; his anger increasingly desperate and irrational. Then there's a scene later in which he is free again, but still furious.

Against the backdrop of a forest, in the middle of a clearing, among the dust, we in fact face off anthropomorphic creatures, but also a big "gorilla" krosan tusker: a rather alien fauna varies so, although not extreme in size (there are also some envoys/ambassadors of a people mysterious, with oval face and black eyes, elongated and sunken)

The rest of the images show glimpses of Asgard, with Anthony Hopkins as Odin and Natalie Portman in clothes that seem more like a princess; an Asgardian princess. In between, there are images of an epic battle on horseback, who seems to have left an epic cloak-and-dagger. The threat to the Asgardians is certainly a new alien race pale (now identified as the dark elves).

A black spaceship shaped irregularly looks like a serious threat to Asgard. More sequences show Natalie Portman then alongside Thor lying on the ground, probably overwhelmed in a clash.”

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Man, I hope this one's as immense as a Thor movie deserves to be. I pretty much want him to be fighting 95% of the time.

Here's the Japanese trailer for Iron Man 3:

This trailer is kind of a bummer to be honest, just Stark things getting destroyed.

Eh, Zachary Levi in Guardians of the Galaxy? I'm not quite sure how he got to the top 5 as he also stars in Thor.

Hoping this is bullshit. Meh on Sturgess and while Levi's okay, he's already Fandral.

Loki's been press-ganged into service for Thor? Or of his own volition? Or with the Dark Elves?

Please don't pick Levi, he sucks

 

[Dead Man]

That's a poor reason to not want him to get the role. A better reason is because he is rubbish.

Ugh, Levi and Sturgess are fine but Lee Pace or Joel Edgerton would have been god-tier. I'm curious to hear about the mystery third name in the running.

Yep, Pace and Edgerton are far and above Sturgess and Levi.

The Thor and Loki bits sound good to me. Jane bits sound utterly terrible and will likely be the moments when I fast foward when I get the blu ray. So pretty much just like Thor 1.

Hopefully the good bits are even better and the bad, well don't get any worse.

 

[DieH@rd]

I fully expect that Loki will manage to redeem himself in MCU over next few movies [probably by Thor 3]. It happened in comics.

Cue heroic sacrifice against Thanos in Avengers 3, boom.*

This stuff just writes itself.

JGL is being considered for the lead role in GoTG.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt now in ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Race
http://www.deadline.com/2013/01/joseph-gordon-levitt-joins-the-guardians-of-the-galaxy-race/

EXCLUSIVE: The derby to land the lead role of Peter Quill in Guardians Of The Galaxy has gotten even more interesting. Marvel Studios has added Joseph Gordon-Levitt to the list of actors they are considering for what is seen as its next major franchise launch.

Joel Edgerton and Lee Pace are still my top choices but this is pretty big news. This also raises serious questions about his potential involvement in Justice League.

 

[Ridley327]

JGL in GotG would be the ultimate dagger against WB and DC.

 

[Anticitizen One]

But JGL is the new Batman how can this be?

 

[JdFoX187]

The JGL in Batman news always seemed like a bunch of bullshit to me. No way they would have Batman that's not Bruce Wayne in the Justice League. I could see him working out in GotG though. Certainly better than the dude from Chuck that was getting a lot of hype a couple weeks ago.

 

[mjc]

I can't see Levi being any good..plus it'll be weird since he's playing Fandral in Thor 2. I'd be cool with JGL or Pace.
