Captain America: Civil War ($1,151,001,818)

by **WyldeMan** 12/10/2014, 2:44 am

The plot of the comic book series followed a framework storyline in which the U.S. government passes a Superhero Registration Act ostensibly designed to have superpowered characters act under official regulation, somewhat akin to police officers. However, those opposed to the act, led by Captain America, find themselves in conflict with those in support of the act, led by Iron Man, with Spider-Man caught in the middle. The events of the series touch upon themes of liberty, moral responsibility, and civil order, with good-intentioned superhero characters finding themselves upon different sides. The series received polarizing reviews but was a commercial success, spawning many media adaptations.

A few months ago when Daniel Bruhl was announced as a villain they also confirmed that Winter Soldier plays an important part in Civil War.

According to the casting notice, Rush star, Daniel Brühl will play Baron Zemo, the iconic Hydra villain form the comics. It was announced back in November that Brühl had joined the cast but not as what character.

For now, I would say take this with a grain of salt. It may be completely real… but Marvel is insanely good at keeping things secret so it seems strange to see them put that much information out for a casting call. Second thing that makes me weary is the line in the piece that says Captain America and Iron Man are feuding over the Superhuman Registration Act. Now that is what they feuded over in the comic series, but in the Marvel Cinematic Universe there really is no one to register. It’s not like New York is full of costumed adventurers so my thought is they will be fighting over something different in the film. And throw in the fact that the casting call says they answer to SHIELD which is in pieces…. so we’ll see how this story develops.

There is no one to register? In Winter Soldier, names like Stephen Strange and others were dropped so even though we haven't seen them it doesn't mean that they don't exist. It's very possible and easily I might add for the government to encourage people with powers to register.

It doesn't hurt to have their hero the Iron Sellout help persuade them.

Kevin Feige And Marvel Studios Break Free Of Marvel And Will Now Report Directly To Disney

Captain America: Civil War ($1,151,001,818) Ntncst10

Since the release of Iron Man in 2008, Marvel Studios has operated under Marvel Entertainment CEO Isaac "Ike" Perlmutter. However, after what The Hollywood Reporter's sources describe as "several years of frustration," Kevin Feige will now report directly to Disney boss Alan Horn. This is no rumour either, as a Disney spokesperson confirmed the behind the scenes shift in a statement earlier today. "Marvel Studios is taking the next logical step in its integration with The Walt Disney Studios, joining Pixar and Lucasfilm in centralizing many of its film-related functions in Burbank, with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and co-president Louis D’Esposito continuing to lead the Marvel Studios team reporting to Walt Disney Studios Chairman Alan Horn."

Tales of just how frugal Perlmutter is are legendary, and as the Marvel Cinematic Universe gets bigger and bigger, it could be that Feige has finally had enough of those kinds of restrictions. It was Perlmutter who reportedly deicded to replace Terrence Howard when he demanded a pay increase because he believed no one would notice them replacing one black actor with another, and he very nearly screwed up Captain America: Civil War when he fought against the prospect of altering Robert Downey Jr.'s contract to increase his presence in the MCU moving forwards. Perlmutter will still oversee Marvel Television, as well as the comic book and animation divisions.

The trade adds: "One insider says Feige has earned the opportunity to break free from Perlmutter, who is not only controlling, but also obsessed with thrift. "Everybody knows Ike is difficult," says one source close to the company. "This has been a long time coming. Kevin has grown his entire career under Ike and now it just makes sense."

by **WyldeMan** 8/31/2015, 8:44 pm

Of course he didn't want to spend money that old bastard had already gotten his. After the Disney acquisition Perlmutter received $800 million in cash and another $590 million in Disney stock. Its has been Fiege's show for long enough, give him the checkbook already and write down MONEY FOR BLADE FRANCHISE on that first memo line.

by UltimateMarvel 8/31/2015, 10:43 pm

Interesting! Amazing finding out what happens behind closed doors. The CEO sounds like an asshole. Curious as to what changes we'll see as a result of being free from those "restrictions."

How does he have a say on replacing Terrance by the way? He's only the CEO. I thought they were all about the bigger picture, isn't someone else responsible for all that?

But their big picture is the bottom line. Why spend money and make millions when you can spend less and make millions.

Perlmutter is a micro-manager in every sense of the word.

More Big Changes At Marvel Studios As The "Creative Committee" Is Brought To An End

According to Birth.Movies.Death, Marvel Studios' Creative Committe has been disbanded this week following the severing of ties between the studio and Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter. For those of you unfamiliar with the group, it was apparently made up of names like Alan Fine, Brian Michael Bendis, Dan Buckley, and Joe Quesada. Their job was to give notes and weigh in on Marvel productions while they were being adapted. Their input was clearly not appreciated by Kevin Feige (because, let's face it, he hardly needs the help of someone like Bendis) as now it will just be him, Louis D'Esposito, and Victoria Alonso making key creative decisions.

So, why scrap what sounds like a relatively useful group of people to have around? According to the site, this committee was something of a burden, offering up "notes that are pedestrian, motivated by 'save the cat' story logic and sometimes a drag on creativity." Perhaps their greatest crime were being responsible for the script notes which led to Edgar Wright deciding to depart Ant-Man, while their lateness with such revisions would often play havoc with a movie's development. In other words, good f**king riddance! Another interesting titbit revealed by the site is that "Ike, with a background in toys, believes girl toys do not sell and thus vetoed them again and again," and that explains the lack of Black Widow merchandise.

All in all, it feels like a new day is dawning at Marvel Studios. Just how much of a different we'll notice as moviegoers remains to be seen, but there's no denying the fact that Kevin Feige appears to be making all the right decisions.

Ike is a weird guy to have ended up where he did, a few years back I looked into him and he was at one time a CEO for Remington shaving products, then he worked in toys and that segued into comics but Ike didn't even get into children's toys until he was in his 50s and then decided what children liked to play with. From there he ended up at Marvel and he's been anchoring them down ever since, I gotta say even as a DC fan I like the idea of Perlmutter being outsted from the movies now if they'd just get him out of tv maybe their shows might be better.

Awesome trailer! Although the trailer made it seem like Tony was the bad guy and the whole thing looks like it centers Bucky but I'm hoping that's not the only reason, that it's something much bigger than that. Definitely different than what happened in the comics but we'll see when the next trailer hits.

Cap and Bucky DESTROYED Tony, I actually feel bad for him. Not a fair fight! That said, I'm team Cap.

This was one of the comic runs I haven't read. It kicked off around the time I quit reading, and one of the few on my must-read list.

I did just read that Marvel have announced they're re-releasing the entire collected set again early 2016 before the film hits. The Hardcover run will cost a whopping $500. I'm in Very Happy

A cool little tidbit about Spidey in Civil War:

“I think one of the most interesting things about Peter Parker for us is that he’s the only person in the MCU now that has a secret identity, so we all know who everyone else is. I think it’s quite interesting to go back to that hiding behind a mask.”

Looks like we're getting the Ultimate version of PP/Spidey. My favourite Spidey.

There's 11 Hardcovers in the set, so that's less than $50 per HC. Pricey, but not ridiculous (for me, at least). Hopefully Amazon will have a price drop for a day or two.

Same here. Some of Garfield's was also from the Ultimate version, wasn't it? This time they're going for that look as well.

The release date is wrong in the threat title, Wylde.

So many times have you all watched the latest trailer?

I'm so fucking amped for this. Cap's films are easily Marvel's finest cinematic venture. This trailer looks like that tradition will continue.

William Hurt is back as General Thunderbolt (he was Gen. Thunderbolt in the Edward Norton 'Hulk' flick).

Black Panther looks rad as fuck. See him kick the crap out of Bucky, and out-running Cap?

You should. To be honest, I liked this trailer better than the second trailer for BvS they just released. We got tons of amazing action in the trailer, non stop action, but not much story wise. Civil War seems deeper than that and I like that.

Avengers and Weekend of Ultron are indeed pieces of shit. Unadulterated garbage. They're atrocious level 7 (Fast & Furious 7).

Don't put Cap in the same shithole. CA: The First Avenger was good, Winter Soldier was fucking excellent. Civil War is going to rock the Kasbah.

You don't even need to watch Avengers. Even if you want to keep current with the MCU, when it comes to the Avengers, just read the plot outline on Wiki. It's all I did. I only watched it because I forgot I pre-ordered the Steelbook before it even hit the cinemas, and it arrived in the mail. Shit, same could be said for Thor. It's lollipop nonsense.

I know you're more a fan of the direction DC is taking, but Cap is worth the effort. Cap is an actual story, and a fucking good one.

Oh I'm not current with the MCU I have an intense hatred for Iron Man so I have no idea what that cunt's doing and Ed Norton is the Hulk for me, I've always wanted to punch Ruffalupagus in the face every time he speaks and that was years before he stole Hulk. Thor I seem to forget what his movies are about as soon as they're over. Maybe I'll give Cap another go though, cause Evans is the only male Avenger who doesn't anger me, I don't count Barton cause he's barely a character.

Aren't Cap's movies the only ones in the MCU without that cunt Loki?

I do believe they are cunt Loki-free. I'm actually going to rewatch them tonight.

I'm with you on the rest of it. The first Iron Man flick was fun as a standalone. The 2nd was meh, and the third was Lethal Weapon 2.

I'm the only person alive that liked Ang Lee's Hulk with Bana. I would have loved his trilogy as originally planned, had the first been successful.

I've seen Norton's version, but I don't remember it.

The Thor films are nonsense. They exist only to make money, and flesh out MCU canon. You also get to look at Kat Dennings in the first one.

Barton is crap. The next Avengers is supposedly a two-parter (Infinity War). Barton has to die in the first one. Has to. He's so out of place. Even Black Widow is more useful. All Barton is at this point is a humanoid CCTV camera. Big fights happen, chuck him up on a high vantage point, and relay what he sees. Marvel need to kill him (it would be rad if it happen in Civil War, but it won't). They need to kill him, and rebuild Hawkeye in their TV series via Kate Bishop. Hawkeye works in the world of Agents of SHIELD, and could even pop up in DD, etc ... not Avengers.

Cap is the glue that holds all that nonsense together. Evans is also the perfect Cap. Perfect.

I feel like they will continue to use Loki even into Phase 3 and he just sucks so much.

RDJ is an overrated dwarf who I preferred on drugs cause at least then he made movies with substance.

Winter Soldier is airing 12 times this week on Starz according to my DVR search, maybe I'll catch a showing.

Rusty Cunt wrote:I'm the only person alive that liked Ang Lee's Hulk with Bana. I would have loved his trilogy as originally planned, had the first been successful.

I am a Bana fan so I can make it through Ang Lee's Hulk, it's neither love nor hate for me but I would absolutely watch it again before I'd ever watch a Ruffalupagus Hulk movie. Though my favorite Bana film is probably still Chopper, saw it back in high school and it was my intro to Bana. Also Lee's Hulk had Jennifer Connelly who I've been in love with since I was 10 and first saw Career Opportunities so another reason I'd be willing to watch it again over the next Hulk outing. Cool

Rusty Cunt wrote:The Thor films are nonsense. They exist only to make money, and flesh out MCU canon. You also get to look at Kat Dennings in the first one.

They're pretty fucking awful, I saw the second movie and when it was over I was still waiting for the plot to show itself. But it never happened, it was like I'd just watched a two hour movie full of explosions. When the end credits started I was surprised to not see Michael Bay's tramp stamp on another Disney whore product....

Hemsworth is bland as fuck and highly overrated. I should feel bad that I enjoy watching his box office failures but for some reason I find joy, which is why when Heart of the Sea gets obliterated next week and Hemsworth's career takes yet another dive I will feel happiness. I am just that messed up apparently... Twisted Evil

And Hemsworth may the Force end your career. Cool

Renner was never happy with what they did to Barton after he signed on and things never seemed to improve for him, that guy is way too good for The Avengers movies.

I kept waiting for Barton to show up on SHIELD because of Bobbi then I heard he had some secret wife and kids already in the Avengers. BOOOOOO.

Very happy the Russo Bros returned for Civil War, plus they'll be taking over The Avengers.

Haven't seen Age of Ultron yet, but Loki and the IM/Tony Stark worship in the first films annoyed me.

Plus I hated how Whedon made Hawkeye into Loki's bitch for most of the film.

I think it's bullshit anyway. At least the Rogers dying part. No way will they want to do Avengers: Infinity Bore with a new Cap. Evans as Cap is way too fucking popular. Cap will hand himself over, but they won't kill him. They'll then ask him to come back in the Avengers flick to save the day.

The end of IW2 is when he'll die, if at all. He'll die in the final battle, and a shot of either Bucky or Falcon picking up his shield and headgear. With some overly-sentimental "the colours suit you" type comment from someone else to make the fanboys go cry.
