The numbers are in for Captain
America: Civil War’s foreign opening day, and it’s already made $14.9 million
on day 1, $38.7 million
over 2. How high will it go?
Here
is Marvel Studios’ official statement on the Ancient One casting “controversy”
for Doctor Strange:
Marvel has a very strong record of diversity in its casting of films and regularly departs from stereotypes and source material to bring its MCU to life. The Ancient One is a title that is not exclusively held by any one character, but rather a moniker passed down through time, and in this particular film the embodiment is Celtic. We are very proud to have the enormously talented Tilda Swinton portray this unique and complex character alongside our richly diverse cast.
Remember Nathan Fillion’s cameo
from Guardians of the Galaxy voicing a thug in the prison scene? He’s getting another appearance in Vol. 2,
but this time as a somewhat more recognizable Marvel character. I won’t say who it is, but it’s probably not
much of a spoiler. I do wonder if this
appearance will lead to any more appearances, though.
This sounded like something of an
odd rumor at the time, but Kevin Feige has officially debunked
the rumor that Nick Fury will be in Thor: Ragnarok. However, he will be in a different
upcoming movie. My guess is Spider-Man:
Homecoming; what’s yours?
Would you like to see RDJ in an Iron Man 4? Depending on the movie, I would definitely be
up for that! Perhaps they could bring in
the real Mandarin for this one.
Breaking news! Marvel and Netflix have announced
The Punisher as a spinoff of Daredevil season 2, with Jon
Bernthal returning as Frank Castle and Steve Lightfoot as the showrunner!

Anything not related to the MCU
that I find interesting
Seth Grahame-Smith has left
the Flash movie due to creative differences. With James Wan rumored to be leaving Aquaman, is the DCEU in trouble? My answer: not necessarily. I mean, if Marvel could turn Ant-Man into a hit despite losing a director weeks before filming, nothing says DC can't do the same thing with these 2 movies.
Here’s some interesting news
about Mads Mikkelsen’s Rogue One character: he’s going to be Jyn’s father and the
engineer who took over the Death Star project.
However, he has a Robert Oppenheimer moment and regrets his
contributions to the Death Star.
So Disney announced a whole bunch
more
live-action fairy-tale films, claiming release dates in 2017, 2018, and
2019. Take a look at the list of movies
and let me know if there are any you are interested in seeing.
Well, then. NBC just bought Dreamworks
for $3.8 billion dollars.
