Not all that great either. Terminator Genisys and San Andreas are both above Ant-Man worldwide, with over 400 million too.

But Ant-Man isn't out in China, yet.

Ant-Man reaches $400 million global box office.

Pretty decent considering the budget, the pre-production drama and the fact that it's freaking Ant-Man, but I wish it could have caught on more. I loved the movie as much if not more than any other MCU intro film.

I guess that would depend on the budget of those films as well.

Spider-Man is now 15 in the MCU according to Jon Watts (the director of the solo Marvel/Sony Spider-Man film). As such, he'll be 16 when Civil War starts, proving elmayimbe correct on his Spidey age scoop.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Spider-Man is in 2017? So he will be almost 18 when the movie starts. Phew, crisis averted.

He'll most likely be 17 during his solo film, though that depends on when his birthday is in the MCU. If we go by the comics, his birthday is sometime in December according to Amazing Spider-Man #500. So if the same applies to the MCU, he'll be 16 by the end of the year.

“There are only so many times you can kill Uncle Ben,” he said in an interview with Empire Magazine (issue 317, out this week). Marvel president Kevin Feige already confirmed back in April that Spidey’s origin wouldn’t be told for a third time in 15 years on the big screen.

Man, that would be nuts if they brought back Ultron for this.

I know. I was sorta disappointed when I heard he has an IDW series.

Hopefully they get James Spader back if they go down that route. Though Annihilation: Conquest seems like a Vol. 3 plot line.

Here's the original Wasp from Ant-Man:

That's just a concept design. Only saw the movie once and it was a brief scene, but IIRC, the design they went with was basically identical to Pym's suit, except with boobs, wings, and (I think) a very subtle point on top of the helmet.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Yeah it was a brief scene but I wish they went with that concept above. It's like the perfect MCU version of Janet's old red costume.

Marvel has film rights to Space Knights but not ROM, am I correct?

Man the way people talk about AOS season one, I thought it'd be really bad, but its pretty good. Not mind blowing either, but good.

Have you got to season two yet? It's way better than season one eventually gets to.

No I'm only up to S01E05.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Still afraid to start AoS. Will definitly my next show after I finished the second Season of Dr. Who.

In other news, my Avengers 2 Steelbook arrived! Yay! Cant wait for friday, when the Avengers will finally Assemble again.

 

[curb]

No I'm only up to S01E05.

Oh, just wait then. If you're liking it now then you'll likely really enjoy where it goes.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

I especially like the fact that SHIELD is controlled by Hydra throughout everything we're watching. Kinda cool, even though it gives it away on the back of the blu ray box.

Without really giving away anything, the Hydra thing affects the show a lot during the back half and really changes the show for the better.

It's definitely decent, but it was the atrocious scheduling that killed it for most people. A lot of those episodes wrent worth waiting 3-4 weeks at a time for.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

I think the horrible reputation AoS S1 gets really has the effect of tempering people's expectations now.

 

[Pachimari]

The Season 3 premiere of Agents of Shield looks super awesome. And that Quake costume is great!

Matt Damon Would Do a Daredevil Movie With Christopher Nolan Directing

Does this guy not know that the MCU already has a guy playing Daredevil?

 

[fallengorn]

"For us it was always Daredevil," Damon said. He and lifelong friend Ben Affleck both had conversations about doing the movie in 2003. "That's the comic we read when we were kids, but when that one came along I chickened out, because I couldn't tell. I hadn't seen the director (Mark Steven Johnson's) work and I didn't know. So I just said, 'No.' Ben was like, 'I gotta do it.'"

He chose... wisely.

Just met Ruffalo in NYC. Guess his obligations have been met.

They're letting him back into NYC again?

My god, AoU grew insanely for me on the second viewing. I cant even remember what I disliked beside that there werent as many awesome moneyshots like the Suiting Up scene, the 360 degree camera turn and the living comicbook panel from the first one.

With most movies that have pacing issues I kinda get over it with the 2nd viewing. Special cases like AoU it still irks me when a scene is obviously cut shorter than they wanted but it ruins the movie a lot less.

I do think AOU has a lot of money shots but they're just not as iconic as what we got in the first movie. However that scene of them busting Ultrons in a circle is my favorite action segment from the entire MCU.

Yeah, I certainly didn't hate it or anything the first time, but I liked it a fair bit more the second time. The only thing that kinda rang worse were some of the quips during the Sol fight. Cap's "What do you think I've been doing?" and Widow's "Ehhh you might wish you hadn't asked that," both rang incredibly awkwardly.

There's still stuff I have problems with, but I think I could better track all the pieces the second time.

The opening had a pretty good. The only problem I have with them is they showed all of it in the trailers. No surprises at all, with the exception of melting Ultron.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

I found the final fight to be underwhelming save for the circular money shot, the beams and Vision in general. Those close ups when they were protecting the key thing were really off.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

I still cant get the Ultron hate. I mean, he is no Heath Ledger Joker, but he is very good with his human traits, like when he feels bad when Wanda and Pietro left him to join the Avengers or when permanently refered to christian stuff. I still think about him as an religious extremist. Funny thing that hes a robot.

He was alright and i don't think Whedon and crew could've done the most popular version of Ultron that is the cold calculating and lethal version that has the goal of global domination and perfection. There was a crazy version of Ultron that is like the AoU incarnation but its just not the most popular one today.

I think a lot of people were expecting Ultron Unlimited level Ultron which was obviously never going to happen in the MCU. He could have been more menacing though. The trailers did a fantastic job at making him pretty scary and it never really came across in the film.

Great scene. Why did they cut that one.

Marvel Creative Committee. Basically forced Whedon to choose between that or the farm stuff.
