“It’s become really convenient to pick on [Marvel films],” Sebastian Stan said. “And that’s fine. Everyone’s got an opinion. But they’re a big part of what contributes to this business and allows us to have smaller movies as well. This is an artery traveling through the system of this entire machinery that’s Hollywood. It feeds in so many more ways than people acknowledge.”

“Sometimes I get protective of it because the intention is really fucking good,” Stan added at the time. “It’s just fucking hard to make a good movie over and over again.”

Stan’s Bucky/Winter Soldier will be front and center in next year’s Marvel tentpole “Thunderbolts,” and he hopes the character stays around long enough to meet Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom on the big screen.

“I hope I’m in a scene with him,” Stan says. “Is there any other guy that could pull that off? I don’t know, probably not. After ‘Tropic Thunder,’ is there anything that guy can’t do?”

It’s been six years since Steve Rodgers handed over Captain America reigns to Sam Wilson, Aka The Falcon, in “Avengers: Endgame.” Wilson (Anthony Mackie) will be the lead of Julius Onah’s “Captain America: Brave New World.” A trailer was released in the summer.

Two different cuts of the film test screened last week, and plot details for one of the cuts have leaked online. The person who attended didn’t seem to like the movie all that much.

Based on the folks I’ve spoken to, those who attended were either given a red or green bracelet and were split up into two different theaters. The reactions I’ve heard have not been very kind to this movie, which is being described as “inessential” and “flat.”

...

Reshoots on ‘Brave New World’ happened in August. This could explain why two different cuts were shown. Last year, after receiving negative test scores in another screening, and Marvel themselves underwhelmed by an early cut they saw of the film, ‘Brave New World’ was delayed to February 2025. Extensive reshoots were called, with “three major action sequences” having been filmed, between May and August 2024 in Atlanta.

‘Brave New World’ had originally wrapped filming in June 2023, and was set for a July 2024 release date, but it’s now turned into this monstrous mess for Marvel. You just don’t push a movie this big out of your calendar, and then decide to dump it in February, unless major trouble is brewing.

Last December, Matthew Orton was hired by Marvel to pen “additional scenes and material”. Orton’s work was shot during this summer’s reshoots. They’ve also added new characters to the story. Will audiences even show up to a Captain America movie that doesn’t star Chris Evans?

The show has also risen to be the #1 streamed show on Disney+ on the US market only.

Who would have thought a show about witches during halloween season would be watched a lot? ;)

The Agatha changes in the OTA are pretty cool, check out this list. The early goal is to drop Black Knight if you can, let Agatha play domino, and hopefully you can play non knight (if no ghost rider in hand), or sif/wave otherwise... Then follow up with ghost rider and ebony blade!

should we have a pinned discussion thread? I am excited for a weekly release with a mystery to untangle.

From what I can figure out he's not in the comic books. And apparently James Gunn did make a short film about this that never got released. But this is mentioned as Groot's associates in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1. So yeah it seems like this is only a character for the movie and not anywhere in the comic books. But it's a origin story for how Rocket and Groot met in the movie a origin story we may never see. We can know that Rocket's gun is made out of Tibius Lark's parts but we don't know what he looks like. I would actually like to see the origin story to how Rocket and Groot met in the movies but yeah I don't think James Gunn is going to work on it cause he already scrapped that so it would be hard to try from scratch.

Please note: Disney/Marvel have neither announced nor confirmed the release date. As always, release dates are subject to change.
