Locked CAPTAIN MARVEL Movie (First Official Look)

[Deleted member 110072]

It also helps that Marvel Studios doesn't portray their characters as brooding, depressed individuals most of the time but instead tries to give them a more approachable, pleasing personality with some sense of humor.

Brooding done well is fine as with Nolan's Batman but DC's current style is like a 12 year old boys idea of serious cinema. Marvel's style is obviously larger than life and often comic but behind that I think the drama often tends to be more adult.

Thus far I'd say in the main arc plot Marvel has tended to balance power against mental strength so the likes of Cap, Widow and Hawk who are relatively weak in power are generally strong in drive were as the likes of The Hulk and Scarlet Witch who are strong in power are mentally unstable, Stark arguably sitting somewhere between the two.

Plus of course I don't think you can underestimate the advantage of having weaker characters providing a more human perspective. Part of the problem with DC I would say is that with all the Justice League being so powerful(even Batman having masses of technology) it makes threat harder to take seriously. Having Cap facing people down hand to hand gets across the scale of what the good guys are up against.

Terence Howard should make a cameo in this movie as young James Rhodes.

Not to get negative but the more powerful they make these super heros the leas interested i get

Anyone know if Captain/Ms Marvel has any weakness a la kryptonite?

I agree with Tiny, if they are too powerful they get a bit boring. If Ms Marvel is going to be Marvel's strongest hero yet, she ought to have some sort of Achilles Heel to make her more sympathetic.

Not that there's really any hero in the cinematic universe that's currently too strong. Even Thor and Hulk have been put through the wringer a couple of times. I was a bit worried about Vision at first, but so far he's been pretty useless.

Four-Time Oscar Nominee Annette Bening Joins the Cast of CAPTAIN MARVEL

Annette Bening is signing on for her first comic book movie. The four-time Oscar nominee is joining Brie Larson in Captain Marvel, Marvel Studios’ first female-led feature film.

Mississippi Grind directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck are helming the movie, which is currently in production in and around Los Angeles. (The project also will shoot in Louisiana.)

Larson toplines the pic as Carol Danvers, an Air Force pilot whose DNA fuses with that of an alien, sending her headlong into an intergalactic adventure. The character had a major tease in Avengers: Infinity War, although the solo movie is set in the 1990s.

The cast already includes Jude Law, Ben Mendelsohn and Gemma Chan, as well as Djimon Hounsou and Lee Pace, with the latter pair reprising their characters from 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy.

Details on Bening’s character are being kept hidden deep in the Kree Empire, but "scientist" is said to be in her job description.

Bening eschews most studio movies, let alone those with caped crusaders and masked marvels. She most recently starred in the period drama Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool and toplines The Seagull, an adaptation of the Anton Chekhov play that also counts Saoirse Ronan and Elisabeth Moss in its cast, which is set to bow Friday.

Annette Bening is younger than I thought she was.

Marvel adding talent, always a good thing for their movies

 

[Organic Damage]

Surprised they didn't have Bening as a hardass government official. I guess Jackson as Fury fulfills that role of authority figure?

 

[ufcfan4]

Bening’s a very good actress. Cool to see her in a blockbuster type movie.

My guess would be maybe the nature of her powers are dangerous to those around her?

I think its too Marvels advantage that they don't have arbitary "kryptonite" like weaknesses to their characters and depend more on character issues.

New CAPTAIN MARVEL Set Videos Show a Construction of a Plane Crash(?)

 

[Bumblebeef]

u can expect that the new captain marvel movie will bring some feminazi stuff out

 

[MardyBum]

I really hope they don't make her the solution to Thanos in Avengers 4.

I'm sure they will try and push some sort of feminist type of angel. Hoping to pull off some black panther like movement. Unfortunately this type of push never seems to succeed when it comes to feminism.

 

[method115]

I really hope they don't make her the solution to Thanos in Avengers 4.

Why?

 

[Deleted member 110072]

Why?

Mostly I spose because the first film does obviously setup unresolved drama with a lot of the existing cast that really seems like it should be the climax, doesn't mean she can't be involved of course and her film coming out so soon beforehand could potentially be written heavily as a lead into the Avengers.

I'm guessing if the link is close then the Russo's are likely to be very closely involved with this film in terms of coming up with the general plot/characterisation/tone which would give me confidence. My guess would be it and the Infinity Wars sequel are going to be very much towards WInter Solider like seriousness, perhaps moreso.

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

I think that much is already a given. She may not be the solution, but she will be part of the solution.
