I think its always smart to go into a movie with no expectations. Its also hard to get excited when we haven't seen any trailers yet.
Most of us saw all of the Guardians trailers and went into the movie unsure of what we were going to see and it blew us all away. I say wait until we see something before getting off the hype train, Marvel has yet to truly screw up royally.
So they say negotiations for shooting Dr. Strange is just about done, and filming will begin in May 2015 and the film will release in 2016:
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=55586Y'know, now that we've got nothing but Avengers 2 to talk about for the rest of the year (and that is a big one), you could put out a few more bits and pieces there, Marvel. Or at least get off your asses and cast Dr. Strange already.
From all the news reports in the past 2 weeks…it looks like joaquin phoenix is the leading contender and reportedly very close to signing on for the role...
I'll get more excited for Ultron once we have a teaser or something out, since my only experience with him is from the cartoon. I thought Cap 2 was awesome for the Stage 2 movies, and considering its' contents there's going to be a very interesting setting in Avengers 2.

. . . . . . I'm not sure if I've ever actually seen a Joaquin Phoenix movie. Or at least I'm not familiar with the actor at all aside from whatever headline he makes with his shenanigans.
Well.
Fox just announced a Deadpool movie based on the guy who made that test footage.

If they don't officially cast Ryan Reynolds they're fucking idiots, who will have their headquarters torched by the fans.
Nice. And they need to cast Reynolds and finally let him be the deadpool he should have been in origins, instead of that abomination.^^

I guess Reynolds could use more work in light of all the terrible movies he's made.
I mean Ryan's a pretty good guy, but he does not know how to pick his projects

Never seen Signs? Or Gladiator or Walk the Line?
@Purple:

Or maybe good projects don't want to pick him.

Hmmm so that's why he gets killed off in a 1000 Ways To Die In The West.
I've often wondered about that myself; seems like being supported by people who only want you there so the world can end in fire (with you going to Hell in the process) would be somewhat off-putting

Never seen Signs? Or Gladiator or Walk the Line?
To add to that…Her? or The Master?
Hmmm . . . . . nope.
You can skip Signs (Meh) and The Master (Pretentious) but go see Gladiator and Walk the Line.
Truly great movies.
Oh, and 'Her' was pretty good too but I don't know if you're that interested in witnessing a developing relationship between a man and an AI voiced by Scarlett Johansson.
I think I need to read Deadpool comics to fully understand him, but… I think his "gimmick" has worn off on me. It was unique and pretty funny the first year I was exposed to him, but after a while it just feels pretty same-y. The gist of his popularity seems to be that he breaks the 4th wall.
I don't hate him, I just don't… See the love, I guess?
Breaking the 4th wall is his shtick, but most people love him for his schizophrenic and psychotic personality, which brings tons of laughs and some seriously (dark) violence. Two very different halves in one character.
Hmmm . . . . . nope.
really, you've never seen Gladiator? wow.

Signs was pretty good imo.
shrug I dunno, I just never saw Gladiator. Never really interested me. Besides, I thought Gladiator was Russell Crowe.
In other news, IGN has an interesting little article about why the Avengers really need Dr. Strange:

shrug I dunno, I just never saw Gladiator. Never really interested me. Besides, I thought Gladiator was Russell Crowe.
It is Russell Crowe. Joaquin Phoenix plays the bad guy.
I actually saw it for the first time a few months and…yeah, I think it was pretty good, but nothing amazing. Phoenix was probably the best thing about it though.
Walk the Line, however, is a must-see.
Bryan Singer will direct X-Men Apocalypse: http://deadline.com/2014/09/bryan-singer-xmen-apocalypse-director-sequel-838588/

I thought that was common knowledge.
It was commonly accepted that he was going to do it, but there was never an official contract that was signed and finalized until now.
So technically, up until now, Bryan Singer and/or Fox could have just decided they wanted to go in a new direction and Bryan Singer's involvement could have ended without any fanfare.

He was involved with the story from the start, but Fox would've most likely looked for a different director if the rape allegations weren't dropped recently.
Rumors are that Deadpool will, in fact, be PG-13.

Dammit.
It was never going to be R. Why would it be aside from dropping F-bombs or horrible violence? Neither something we really need in a comedic romp.
I'm sure they would have preferred to make Watchmen Pg-13 and cut out the blue dong.
Given that it's a Deadpool movie, breaking the fourth wall and poking fun at the fact that it is PG13 is an opportunity that should not be wasted.
It was never going to be R. Why would it be aside from dropping F-bombs or horrible violence? Neither something we really need in a comedic romp.
Can't it be both, like Hot Fuzz?
But no, this never had the chance of being R, regardless of everything else the teen market is much too big of a lure.
I know very little about Deadpool, but the moment from the Test-Trailer that got by far the biggest laugh from me, and made me by far the most excited, was when Deadpool decapitated that goon. If gags like that can make it into a PG-13 movie, then I'm good.
Remember all thos R-rated Deadpool comics? Oh wait….
THe only people who think Deadpool should be R-rated never even came close to a Deadpool comic. It's not like Fox is afraid of potty mouths and decapitation in PG-13 movies anyway.
Well the rating system does seem different from even when I was a kid. A lot of pg13 movies I've seen lately I would have thought were R for the violence alone. So I suppose it could be fine without truly being R.

I suppose. He doesn't need to drop F-bombs all the time (although it would be nice . . .), but how easy is it to say Shit or Asshole or the like in PG-13 these days? I haven't really been paying attention. The violence is hard to gauge too, but definitely one of the funniest parts of that test footage was him slicing the mook's head off and playing with it. Would that get into a PG-13 movie? I dunno.
I would have happily lived without a blue dong, but if an R movie can let Rorschach be Rorschach then let it be so.
From the same production company: DoFP had one fuck, three shits, one curse word asshole, one literal asshole, one decapatitation, one dismemberment and one quartering. As well as multiple stabbings, mutilations and mass graves.
And here's the Deadpool creators not caring about the R-rating: http://www.newsarama.com/22207-deadpool-creators-think-pg-13-is-fine-but-there-s-no-rating-yet.html

hey what do you guys think about RDJ saying he'd be in Iron man 4 if mel gibson could direct?
honestly not a fan of mel after his incident and learning he was an anti-Semitic, but does RDJ carry that much weight that marvel studios would be willing?

Mel has said a lot of bad things, but it hasn't gone to that point with me where I can't separate the character on film and the actor. Still love Lethal Weapon. Braveheart is awesome. Apocalypto, which I saw recently, was also great. I'd love to see an Iron Man film by a director like Mel.
Of course, it wouldn't be just Mel directing a movie; it'd be Mel directing a movie following Marvels directions. And as with Wright's thing, that's always a shame.
If you want to see some good "recent" Mel Gibson movies see 'The Beaver' and 'Get the Gringo'. 'The Beaver' in particular is great in that it's a good film and Mel plays a man with serious problems particularly well. Also, of course RWJ was joking when he said that Iron Man 4 bit in the interview. Here's just a small snippet of the interview and this is at the very end (of the interview) where he talks about Mel Gibson and how Mel is treated in Hollywood.
[Hide]DEADLINE: We have written often, suggesting that Mel Gibson be given another chance in Hollywood, after atoning for the regrettable things he said. Awhile back, when studios were reluctant to hire you and there were exorbitant insurance premiums, he put you in a movie, took care of all that and helped you when you needed it. As Hollywood’s best example that not giving up on a talented person can result in redemption, can you make a case for why he should be back directing and starring in movies again?
DOWNEY: Well, first off, he has changed so much. Nobody should make a case for somebody who just wants forgiveness but hasn’t changed, but he’s a fundamentally different guy. I think it was just the very worst aspects of somebody’s psyche being treated as though they were the blanket statement about a person. But honestly we are talking about a competitive business and it all comes down to this: because he is so gifted as a story teller and a director, I don’t know that he requires some sort of mass forgiveness. He has changed, but at the same time he’s still Mel. He and I are so similar in so many ways. He really, honestly is the first to admit his character defects and also is just a great, great collaborative guy. I always say too that if you want to judge a man or a woman then look at their kids. He has the healthiest, happiest, most productive kids you could ever meet or know, and I’m fortunate to be friendly with several of them. He did a lot right, and there’s stuff he taught me about parenting that didn’t sink in at the time but have proven to be true. We’re writing this thing right now, Yucatan…
DEADLINE: That’s the project Steve McQueen developed for himself.
DOWNEY: Yes, and I’m like, God, if I could find a part for Mel. But he also likes to do his own thing and sometimes he goes out of his way to do the unexpected. Sometimes with these things, it becomes a matter of time, and is seems like it’s getting a little bit old to hold a grudge.
DEADLINE: True, but the year he made Apocalypto, I didn’t see a better movie and he was ignored and hasn’t directed since. Marvel badly wants Iron Man 4 and you’ve said you aren’t doing it. How about the idea you’ll do that movie if Mel directs it?
DOWNEY: Correct.
DEADLINE: Is that our headline?
DOWNEY: Why not? That movie would be bananas. [/hide]You can read the full interview here.
Well, I'm pretty sure he was joking…

Ah the good ol days when Simpsons was still good.

Well, if Avengers 3 is going to be the big battle with Thanos everyone has been waiting for, I have a feeling it will focus on more space savy characters. We'll probably have Stark, Hulk, and a few others meeting the Guardians of the Galaxy. Plus Nova.
