 Re: Marvel/DC/Comic Book Movie Discussion Here is a curious case. US press screenings for X-Men: Apocalypse did not include a post-credits scene which was to be revealed when the film opened. But my screening did. So if you want to know who most likely will be the next X-Men villain, it's here: Mister Sinster. We see a tag reading "Essex Corp." in the scene. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

Re: Marvel/DC/Comic Book Movie Discussion Unlike BvS, at least X-Men Apocalypse's reviews have trended upward and more positive. Bottomed out at 42% (hopefully that's bottoming out...still a long way to go) up to 56%.

I keep hearing that the next X-MEN film is gonna center around .

But thinking about it and Kinberg's comments, I think the Mister Sinister tease is actually for Gambit. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

It's set in the future; Alkali Lake doesn't factor into it.

Re: Marvel/DC/Comic Book Movie Discussion Margot loved the character so much she hired a screenwriter and brought the treatment to the studio. Yay for passion! _________________trixster wrote: shut the fuck up zwackerm, you're out of your fucking element trixster wrote: chippy is correct

Yet very strong rumors are everywhere that X-23 will be in it, the post-credits-scene is set at Alkali Lake and Kinberg said that it ties directly to Wolerine 3 and ADDITIONALLY introduces a new character (Mister Sinister). _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

Re: Marvel/DC/Comic Book Movie Discussion You'll be changing your mind and agreeing with all the other sheep when Suicide Squad severely under performs. Oh, actually, you aren't mature enough so you will probably just come up with a bunch of bullshit on how it will be successful no matter how SS performs.

What constitutes "severely underperforms" for you in case of Suicide Squad? I think as long as it does something around Ant-Man's worldwide numbers, it should be alright. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

Re: Marvel/DC/Comic Book Movie Discussion What does either of them "bombing" have to do with my excitement for the films? You can only get excited for movies that do well at the box office? What a stupid theory.

Re: Marvel/DC/Comic Book Movie Discussion I think the last superhero movie I saw in a theater was The Avengers. So generic that I doubt I will see another Avengers movie in a theater again.

Re: Marvel/DC/Comic Book Movie Discussion Having seen X-Men: Apocalypse, I don't remember the last time I disagreed with the critical consensus this much. I thought it was pretty spectacular. 1. X-Men: Days of Future Past (A+) 2. X2: X-Men United (A) 3. X-Men: Apocalypse (A-) 4. X-Men: First Class (A-/B+) 5. X-Men (B+) 6. X-Men: The Last Stand (C-) Dr. Lecter wrote: The Dark Shape wrote: Dr. Lecter wrote: Here is a curious case.

But thinking about it and Kinberg's comments, I think the Mister Sinister tease is actually for Gambit. Well... Mister Sinister/Nathaniel Essex is certainly deeply rooted in Gambit's history, but it was history that was retconned in after 10 years or so (Gambit's role in forming the Marauders) so I'm not sure. Sinister kind of feels like too big of an X-Men villain to only use in a Gambit spinoff, when Gambit could easily dig into his whole Thieves Guild/Assassin's Guild past.
All I know is that my nerd friends and I freaked the fuck out when we saw the Essex name. We already very much loved the film (Apocalypse was more of a force of nature than a developed character and a lot of characters meant no one got the time they deserved, but it was still awesome for any X-Man fan) but that just had us leaving the cinema on such a high).

Re: Marvel/DC/Comic Book Movie Discussion  New character castings for Thor: Ragnarok. Cate Blanchett (Supervillain Hela, Goddess of Death) Jeff Goldblum (Grandmaster, member of the Elders of the Universe) Tessa Thompson (Superhero Valkyrie) Karl Urban (Skurge) After Spider-Man, Thor is my favorite comic book series and these roles are wonderfully cast, in my opinion. _________________Japan Box Office “Gods are great ... but the heart is greater. For it is from our hearts they come, and to our hearts they shall return.”

Re: Marvel/DC/Comic Book Movie Discussion Shouldn't this have started filming already? It's been a while since the last Thor movie.

Re: Marvel/DC/Comic Book Movie Discussion I can wait, but good. I think Ragnarok will be the best Thor movie yet (which ain't hard).
