Vulture is a great villain. Keaton could do it at this stage, no doubt.
And the Thor cast is looking incredible. Seems like Marvel are really stepping their game up in a major way for this 3rd outing.
It's a bit of some on the nose casting, though, isn't it? I mean, Keaton has played Birdman, so Vulture shouldn't be a role that ruffles his feathers.
Hey, when it's the end of the universe, you gotta pull out all the stops. This film should be mind blowing, if they follow strictly to the Norse mythology. It'll likely be Hemsworth's best acting in the role of Thor, as well, where he well and truly finally shows he has all that it takes to be king.
GoTg vol.2 comes out next year, which will continue the more cosmic/galactic side of the universe as will the Thor 3. That being said, Hulk is in the next Thor movie too, as the film is being described as a somewhat buddy cosmic road trip...and Dr.Strange will spearhead the supernatural/cosmic/magic elements later this year which will also open the flood gates for the supernatural elements for black panther....which inevitably makes all this stuff for Infinity Wars all the more accessible.
Phase 3 is looking to be the best of the phases yet, Ant-Man and Wasp as well as Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers) are set to be part of phase 3 and beyond that, Marvel can really get to play with their other characters while expanding on characters they introduced in phase 3.
I'm interested in seeing what they do with Spider-Man, but I have to say there's a lot of worry inside me, especially due to how much control Sony still have. Spider-Man had his moments in Civil War, but I thought how they roped him into the story was by far the sloppiest thing about the movie and what I think really didn't work overall. They did the same thing to Peter that they did to Ant Man, which is, "let's have Paul and Tom on set for one day just so we can make this look like a bigger conflict than it is," then never see either of them again (sans Ant Man being thrown in the cell). I think a bit part of that push was just to have Ant Man show up and use his giant powers for the first time anyway, them say goodbye to him. The Spider-Man stuff just felt out of place for me, really, and I'd rather have seen them use Black Panther in his place as originally planned, because he was a much better draw and far more attractive as a filmgoer and fan of these films.
I thought Holland was okay, but all this nonsense about him being the best Peter or Spider-Man ever was insane to me. We barely saw the kid do anything at all, so how can we begin to say anything like that at this point? I think much of the praise has just come from the fact that Spidey is back at Marvel and its the newest Spider-Man out there, which always attracts well wishes at the beginning. We'll see how the solo film/s pan out, though I'm not especially hopeful about all of this, as Sony are still pushing their spin-off film agenda. They never learn their lesson, it seems.

Joss Whedon would return for an all-female 'Avengers' movie:

And people complained when Jim Gordon was batman jeez just googled it and wow he even says "it like a slap in the face to people" really then why in god's name would you do it !
Seeing an image of Cap saying the words "Hail Hydra" turns my stomach more than anything recently, and it quite frankly makes no sense. It's a perfect example of a company out of ideas doing something new just because it's new, and not necessarily because it makes any sense for the character.
I mean, how are they actually going to explain this one? Cap is a Hydra agent, yet he's been saving the world with the best of them since the beginning. All the love he has for the Avengers and Bucky, and the endless amount of times he's put himself on the line was what, all an act, just like his good old Brooklyn boy demeanor? Get the hell out of here with that. This is the man who, while getting fatally shot, was more worried about all the innocents around him getting harmed than his own well-being.
I can't wait to see how Marvel react to this backlash, a reaction they somehow didn't anticipate to such a level as this. I see it going like this: the idiots realize how idiotic they all are, and then they BS some story about how Red Skull and Hydra captured Cap, cloned him, and then used that clone as a Hydra sleeper agent while the real Steve was out of commission so that they could get the upper hand on the Avengers, or something like that. Trust me, this idea won't last long. Mark my freaking words.
The only way DC could even begin to match the stupidity of this decision is if they revealed that the Joker was Thomas Wayne all along, taking endless psychological and physical revenge on Bruce for his failure to protect him and Martha the night they got shot.
Seriously, I don't even know what to think right now. Marvel are saying this is the real Steve, no clones, no brainwashing or doppelgangers etc. For the life of me I just don't see how Marvel could honestly green light this garbage. Can you imagine if Bond was a spectre agent all this time?
I really am lost for words on this.
They probably got inspired by Agents Of Shields shocking reveal in Season 1.
"Superman is a symbol of truth, justice, hope and understanding. So, let's make him a whiny, mopey guy that thinks he's a villain. Great idea, right?"
"Cap is a steadfast patriot, a protector of the innocent and always does the right thing in his fight against Hydra. Hey, speaking of Hydra, what if he was an agent for them all along, and he was fooling everyone? Crazy, right? Let's do it!"
Who do we have to threaten assault blackmail persuade to change this?
I get your frustrations, but badly handled stories and crappily designed suits are one thing, while absolute character assassination is quite another. This goes against literally everything that Cap stands and fights for. The very thing he was created to fight, he has (apparently) always been joined with.
No matter what their original plans were, they'll change damn fast. Otherwise, they're going to lose their audience irreparably.
"Hydra?!?!? #sayitaintso"
And this is apparently a photo of him reading a recent issue of the book leading up to the reveal. His face kind of says it all:
I've read only one positive comment about this news, all the rest were biting. Worse yet, Nick Spencer is actually getting off on all this, as if the reaction means good things for his work going forward. If people were smart, a book boycott would be mounted. If anyone wants to read the issue/s, seek out digital scans so that the team knows we're not having it.
One of my favorite comments about all this came from a father on Twitter, who said, "Tell my kid Cap is a bad guy now. #CapIsNotHydra"
How long do we think it'll be before Marvel retcon? A month? Three months? Half a year?
There's a good fan theory out there that has an awful lot of support within the issue itself.
